LOVED The Jerusalem Syndrome. Very cute, very unassuming, incredibly endearing. Beautifully sung by Liz Larsen, et al. High points were Chandra Lee Schwartz and (I believe) Felicia Ricci as the Nurse and the woman who thinks she's God, respectively.
My favorite line: as they're walking out of the desert, the guy who thinks he's Moses is chatting with "God" about why Jesus, the Virgin Marys, and John the Baptist left them. "God" replies "We're the Old, they're the New, but it's a testament to you for how well you kept us together."

I saw "Idaho" on Sunday and I'm still singing the songs in my mind.
It was funny and smart. LOVED IT!
Plsu I think it got an extension, so there are probably still some tickets available.

I enjoyed IDAHO! very much, as well. I was seated around virtually the entire cast of HAIRSPRAY - Niki Scalera, Kevin Meany, and a bunch of chorus people; also noticed Tim Jerome in the audience, who got a shout-out during the intro. Didn't realize he was the founder of NYMF.
The "theater people" in the audience loved IDAHO! I wonder how the show would play without supporters in the crowd.
That said, it was very creative on the part of the writers to craft the show so it virtually followed OKLAHOMA! in terms of plot and songs.

IDAHO has exhausted my quota of double meanings for the rest of the year. Is there any mention of hard , erect or any euphemisms for penis that wasn't bludgeoned to death in this show. The score and book just weren't that good.If your idea of wit includes Ida Dunham or Anita Polk as character names then this is the show for you. Shame they left out 2 characters. Wright Better and Whitmore Preferred. And someone tell the folks in the reserved seats it doesn't help when they reactions or so out of proportion with the rest of the audience. Everything THAT OTHER WOMAN'S CHILD did right this show did wrong.What waste of a VERY talented cast.
