Whoa...that's your beef? Achievable, feasible, cerebral: That's a pretty standard pop soft rhyme...sometimes offensive to Broadway diehards, but perfectly acceptable given the piece. Fish needs a bicycle: That's a classic Gloria Steinem quote...everyone knows that... You seem way over the top on criticizing this show...

I thought the lyrics were really clever, in a Pajama Game sort of way...what did you not like?

I work for one of the major theater owners...not for Plane Crazy. I would think that if I worked on the show I would have joined a long time ago.
