I'm not sure what I think about this. I haven't seen the show. I think I like the concept, but I would need to see and hear the whole thing before I can comment. This show is going on now on Broadway. If you are in the big apple and catch the show leave a comment below. For the rest of us in the hinterland enjoy a short clip from the show.
