When this stuff was confined to Broadway ("Smokey Joe's Cafe," "Movin' Out," "Mama Mia," the Beach Boys thing, etc.) and the travelling versions thereof, it was annoying but I could ignore it.
There goes my fantasy of someday writing the book to the TL/Rx jukebox musical.
The really pathetic thing is I realize that it's a terrible terrible idea, but it was an actual fantasy nonetheless. And I'm not even the only one I know who has entertained it.
This does look pretty awful, in any case. Oh, Julie Taymor, what happened? She used to be kind of cool once.
