I saw this musical a couple of weeks ago, and it was friggin' hilarious. It wasn't the original cast, but I still enjoyed it. It's currently on tour in Chicago and has a show on Broadway. I'm not a musical guy at all, but it's by the guys from South Park. Hilarious show. Has anyone else seen this show?

A friend of mine saw it when it was in Columbus and also loved it.

I haven't seen it because musicals are stupid.

This mindset is weird to me. Do you hate music? Do you hate being entertained?

They are coming to DC this summer and I was able to secure tickets. I have been trying to go for 3 years now. I am looking forward to it.

Is it the same script as the Mormon South Park episode, or completely different?

I prefer to have humor spoken to me instead of sung.

Another good example is the episodes of The Simpsons/Family Guy. The musical variants of those are inferior to the normal episodes.

The wife and i saw in Chicago the first time with my daughter, it is coming to Cleveland soon. I'm not sure but I think the wife is getting tickets.. I'm a big fan of broadway musicals.

Broadway musicals provides much more that just entertainment, great musical production, talented individuals, singing and dancing but the technology of the production, graphics, set design, lighting … hard work and dedication creates a great experience for public to enjoy.

Only Philistine would not like Broadway Musicals

Meh, just not really into song and dance. Unless it's something I'm familiar with. I saw the Motown musical with my parents (they grew up in the generation) and I loved it too. Mainly because I knew the songs.

If I don't know the music, I'll tune it out and wait for the speaking parts to start again.

I've always enjoyed plays and musicals. It's a far more difficult craft than movie acting or tv acting.

Saw it in Columbus. Laughed all the way throughout the show.
