Basis J. R. R. Tolkien's novel
The Fellowship of the Ring
Productions 2005 San Diego Comic Con

Fellowship! is a musical parody stage play based on The Fellowship of the Ring the first volume of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and Peter Jackson's 2001 film adaptation of it. It was written by Kelly Holden and Joel McCrary, with original music by Allen Simpson, and was first performed at the El Portal Forum Theater in North Hollywood, California.

The play follows the major events of the story, but is more a parody of the film than the original book. It re-imagines Bilbo Baggins as an aged Jewish comedian, the Balrog as a sleep-deprived diva, the battle on Weathertop as a West Side Story-style gang fight, and Rivendell as a Scientologist stronghold. Part live action, part puppet show and part animation, the show removes or summarizes parts of the film that would slow it down. While played for laughs, the music features original compositions instead of parodies, and the song styles range from cheesy 1980s rock to sleazy cabaret numbers. The lyrics were improvised and written by the initial performers during rehearsals.

The play had a successful six-week run in early 2005, and played several sold-out shows at the 2005 San Diego Comic Con. L.A. Weekly named it a "Pick of the Week", and both Backstage West and the Los Angeles Times listed it as a "Critic's Choice."

In L.A. Weekly's 2006 annual LA Weekly Theater Awards, the play was nominated in the Musical Direction category, and won the awards for Comedy Ensemble and Musical of the Year.
