After the performance, I leaned over to my boyfriend and said, "I don't know how much time I've got left on this earth, but I deserve better entertainment than this."<br /><br />I loved when they tried to add historical context by playing a radio announcement of Kennedy's assassination or briefly mentioning people picketing against the Vietnam war. Those were the truly "Wait. What? moments of this play about NOTHING.<br /><br />Perhaps this musical might have been something special had the concept of a musical just been created, however, in this day and age I feel that all theater should really be about something and not just a showcase of someone that strung together a weak plot with rhyming words to absolutely no kind of memorable melody.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8284706038734484698-8788776187170901841?l=womenareretarded.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>employee of the monthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00692768480006591542noreply@blogger.com0
