“The play seeks to rescue Che’s image from the banal,” says the director.
Because it’s never enough to idolize a mass murderer son of a bitch. You must also set him to song and dance.

I kid you not: opening this weekend in Buenos Aires,
“The play seeks to rescue Che’s image from the banal,” says the director.
Because it’s never enough to idolize a mass murderer son of a bitch. You must also set him to song and dance.
Perhaps someone can fly this flag in his honor.
No worries, there will be a GWB musical in good time.
Now now… we don’t know yet what the lyrics will be. It’s altogether possible the composer will sneak in some sensibility. Like maybe a takeoff on Candide’s Auto-da-fé number:
(singing)What a day, what a day
To incarcerate a gay!
What a sunny Cuban day!
Hasta mañana
Off to La Cabaña!
It’s a lovely lovely day for shooting, watching people die!
And to think that when I saw “The Producers” with a roomful of Oxford students, they were shocked.
A tap dance, no doubt.
