jazzfishA tale of three theatregoers: "The short version: the story [of Spider-man: Turn Off The Dark] made little sense, the music itself was often very pretty but not Broadway-ish, the lyrics were terrible, the aesthetics were spectacular but incoherent, and second act can be summed up as JULIE TAYMOR'S ID SAYS HELLO."
The As Seen On TV Hat "would fit perfectly into a dystopian future where humanity is addicted to television, oblivious to the world around them."

I laugh at these because my only other choice is to break down in frustration.)
