This is not a joke. Seriously. There will be a poker-themed musical called "All In: The Poker Musical" with which poker pro Phil Hellmuth and the WSOP have both been involved. The press release went out today and contains pure gems of the unintentional hilarity that is sure to come with the actual debut of the production:

The story of All In: The Poker Musical revolves around the final nine players at the Main Event of the World Series Of Poker and, just like in the real WSOP, these players come from all walks of life. These clearly identifiable characters sing songs that are interlaced with poker analogies, quotes, and situations that also apply to the game of life.

The songs for the musical will contain a mix of styles ranging from pop, country, rock, blues, jazz and musical theater, obviously. There will be showgirls and other sexy, witty dancing according to the release and Hellmuth with be a character in the musical. Yeah.

The WSOP has also chosen one of the songs from "All In: The Poker Musical" to debut during the Main Event of the 2008 WSOP and they are charging for tickets, $29.95 to be exact.
