Posted: 7/8/04 at 2:09pmHow about dancing and singing farmers from nowhere hickville. And on top of that, they will not have the glitz and glamour of the usual musical that everyone adores. How absurd.

Posted: 7/8/04 at 2:38pmAs long as there is never a musical about people who have to pay to urinate. That would end theatre as we know it.
