Walmartopia Worth Seeing - Playing in New York

By Michael Leon

Taking aim at America's largest employer, Wal-Mart, among America's worst places to work, Walmartopia is the perfect entertainment anecdote to living during Bush's tenure.

::::::::

Catherine Capellaro and Andrew Rohn's hilarious off-Broadway musical at the Minetta Lane Theatre is worth checking out if you are close to New York.

 

Taking aim at America's largest employer, Wal-Mart, among America's worst places to work, Walmartopia is the perfect entertainment anecdote to living during Bush's tenure as asshole-in-chief serving the corporate elite and the evangelical ignoranti. 

 

Capellaro and Rohn pull no punches, but manage to create a funny, schdenfraude-like experience, as America as our parents knew it begins its accelerated descent down the tubes of history.

I think it was Gandhi who said: If we can't laugh, we can't take down the government and behead every benighted fuck deserving to be killed.
