A new celebrity-spoofing pop show, “Totally Tubular Time Machine,†will begin weekly performances on Saturday nights on Jan. 19 at New York's Culture Club, the latest attempt by entertainment producers to develop musical parodies out of hit songs from the 1980s. Among the producers are Robert Watman, the chief executive of '70s- and '80s-themed nightclub chains Polly Esther's and Culture Club, and Denise Fennell and Suzanna Melendez, two of the creators of “Birdy's Bachelorette Party,†a pop-infused send-up in which real bachelorette parties blended with a fictional one. “Time Machine†will feature actors playing music idols like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears, with audience members encouraged to ask questions about their personal lives and become celebrity gossipmongers themselves. Ms. Mele ndez will direct the show.
