This news sounds like it could be an episode of Family Guy, but actually it's going to be two episodes of Family Guy.The show has booked two evenings at Carnegie Hall. The cast and crew from the show will perform two uncensored episodes of the show, along with various musical numbers. It's called Family Guy Sings! and will run on November 24 and 25.
The show has done these shows before, at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal and cities around the U.S., but hey, this Carnegie Hall! I think it would be funny if the place insisted that everyone dress in black tie and formal dress.
This seems to be a trend. During the writers strike, the cast of 30 Rock did a staged reading of one of their episodes. Maybe this is something that TV shows can do during the off-season, when the shows are in repeats. I wonder what 24 would be like on Broadway?

As long they don't sing "The Bird is the Word"...
The last episode almost made me never watch "Family Guy" again. And I am a long-time fan of the show...

The ful cast did similar shows in New York and Los Angeles in March and April of 2005. MacFarlane and Alex Borstein did shows earlier this year as well, just the two of them, singing standards and some songs from the show as well. I saw both and I highly recommend them to anyone who apprecaites Family Guy, and even to those who don't. My wife, who is most assuredly not an FG fan still laughed herself silly.

The 30 Rock UCB reading (which is one of the bonuses on the season 2 dvd) is a great watch. Seeing the material out of context really gives me a much greater appreciation for the writing and for the actors.

The answer is boring. It would be really really boring.
They most likely would just put a suitcase on stage and expect the audience to pee themselves...
