It's All About the Benjamins

Jump to Comments From the writers of Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat comes the first insipid — and probably blasphemous! — song-and-dance Scriptural rehash of the new millenium! Saul, later called Raúl tells the incredible story of St. Paul the Apostle set in 19th Century Mexico! Watch as Davy Crocket and Jim Bowie lower Raúl from the walls of the Alamo in a wicker basket while fighting General Santa Ana! Be amazed as Raúl and his associate Silas-o escape from Pancho Villa’s Prison of Doom thanks to an earthquake! Set to a critically defamed score by world-renowned composer Andre 3000 Lloyd Webster, Joel Siegel calls Saul, later called Raúl “Absolutely inexplicable!”

But, seriously, folks, there is this big mess that’s apparently going on here at school right now consisting of a big series of silly song-and-dance numbers, and it just so happens this year to fall on the week before Easter, making for some bizzarre mirror-universe Passion Play parallel, and that’s how I’m linking this thought to the previous paragraph. Hah.

Anyhow, I don’t think I’m going to bother to go to this Spring Sing mess; I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re out of tickets for the final showing tomorrow, and it’s not like I want to blow ten bucks on some self-congradulating fraternity showofffest. Especially since I’ve run out of food-service-debit, and have been using all my chump change for lunch. And I doubt I have much money left in my bank account, especially after buying those clothes. I guess that idea was kind of dumb. Oh well. At least they look nice.
