Wonkman has noted the rapid proliferation of Anne of Green Gables-themed musicals on Prince Edward Island.

The first musical opened in 1965. The second in 2005. If this rate of growth is maintained, there will be:

- 3 competing musicals by 2029
- 4 by 2045
- 5 by 2058
- 10 by 2098
- 50 by 2191
- 100 by 2231
- 250 by 2284
- 1000 by 2364
- 2500 by 2416

The year 2718 will be pivotal, because in that year the number of productions of “Anne of Green Gables” will outstrip the population of the Island, even accounting for population growth. (Assuming the current rate of 1.7% per annum can be maintained.)

Shortly thereafter, in 2762, there will be two productions running for every man, woman and child in PEI.

By 2865, there will be ten.

He looks forward to a great proliferation of Anne musicals, making use of all sorts of avant-garde tricks to sustain an Anne musical-based economy. Remarkable!
