Since the theatre world can become a rather insulated bubble, I for one hope TheaterMania keeps this series up. This is rather hilarious, and good for perspective.

You know, this reads like someone writing what they think a bro would say.

^ True. But I still laughed.

The respect he has for Cyrano being a badass and spitting the most disgustingly beautiful lines he's ever heard really shines through.

I bet that's not the only way Josh makes some "spare cash with lonely guys."

Funny! I'm surprised his review didn't just read, "Too many words."

In the same vein, in case you missed this, one of my favorites: a trailer for Downton Abbey imagining the show was carried by Spike TV.

It reads to me like an opera parody, like Anna Russel's or the kind you'd find in a book like Verdi with a Vengeance. It would be much better as the theater review on Weekend Update than presented as a real exercise in a first time theatergoer's impression.
