Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again!

I still can’t believe that the people who wrote a musical with almost good politics (only Little Shop of Horrors “a lot of folks deserve to die” and Sweeney Todd " those above will serve those below"have better politics ) also wrote one of THE most horrifying defenses of US liberalism and empire with “Miss Saigon.” The orientalism, the fucking apologia for US warcrimes in Vietnam, the show’s absolution of the soldiers… it’s really gross.

Theater kids had their perfect chance to sing their favorite song and burn down the capitol and they passed on it. Not even a murmur. So disapointing.
