I have no complaints about Creel's shirtlessness, if it was up to me I would burn every shirt he owns, but why not let DeLaria bare her boobs also, one (or two) for the girls who like girls? Turnabout is fairplay.

I saw the first performance of this last Friday and I loved it. It was unlike anything I've ever seen and brilliantly directed. The way the A.R.T. is set up, the "dance floor" section is standing room audience, and the show uses the entire space, from the balcony that circles the entire room to stepladders that they roll through the crowd to ladders and platforms placed throughout the room. The music and cast were fantastic, and the whole thing was intense and thought-provoking. They are also doing a really great partnership with Amnesty International, and the speech about it at the end was really moving. I definitely want to see it again!
I was there for the first preview, too! I have a few criticisms of the show, but overall, it was a great time, and I'll be back for Gavin's performance a few more times--especially after it opens so I can see the changes.
The very first lyric in the show is, "Bow Wow! Release the hounds of law!" There's also a lyric that goes, "This is the story of Prometheus the Titan." They're . . . eh at best.
When I get home from work, I'll post a song list from my Playbill.
