This musical is so f++king creative! If you haven't checked it out yet, definitely do so. It is not your typical production! Kudos to Stew, the cast, and Bill Bragin!

Yahoo!!! to Stew,Heidi, and cohorts!!! Those of us back in Komikbuchland knew ya had it in ya all along!!! I won't dare say that your ship has come in, cuz I know you hate that kind of short-sighted recognition; and, because it vaguely harkens to some ugliness of centuries past...But man, am I proud to see the accolades laid upon ya or what?!?!? I will try to get to NY to see the show on its soon-to-be-extended run, but if not, I'll catch ya on the triumphant homecoming tour. My best and my love to you both, kisses on both cheeks, and lots of jazz hands.
