Hail Malthus!

Sunday night I went to see Urinetown at the Geary Theater with the wife and in-laws. Truly laugh-out-loud funny, Urinetown is a self-aware sendup of a musical, filled with top-notch and appropriately over-the-top performances. The music was very good too.
Although I didn’t notice at the time, I’ve now read that the official slogan on the show’s T-shirts is: “An appalling idea, fully realized.” Well put! Urinetown can’t really be explained. It can only be enjoyed. I recommend it highly.
