[Libloather]

The "portly pepperpot" - and her dress...

[newgeezer]

"Urinetown"?!

Goofy theater people.

[Darkwolf]

Attending a screening of "The Score"? How appropriate.

[LibFreeOrDie]

Another nail in the coffin of the Broadway musical...

[Tacis]

Dpn't think this will go anywhere! This is Hollywood and show biz! How are they going to do a show about Monica and make Bush, the Republicans, capitalism and America look bad?

[reagan_fanatic]

I've seen the script. It sucks.

[Cyber Ninja]

The presidential knee-pad legacy lives on!

[RichInOC]

Urinetown? What a coincidence! Hymentown!

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Being a hick from the flyover, I hadn't heard of either of these and made the mistake of going to their websites to see a syopsis of each. I couldn't even get through more than a few paragraphs of this excruciatingly idiotic stuff. How can anyone sit through an actual performance, or even want to?

Looks like the 2005-2006 theater season is gonna be the best in decades! /sarcasm
