Everybody knows about: Just because there are puppets doesn't mean this musical is for kids.

I have thoughts: I've seen may references to this show but never the show itself. I think I would probably see it if I were in the right mood--at first glance it's not my kind of thing, but on the other hand I've seen enough sweary and racy musicals that one more probably wouldn't kill me.

  1. with song a song title : the internet is for porn, i would imagine that it would be very twisted indeed. i've listened to quite a few of them when i had satelite music channels.

    i think i would have trouble watching it not for the content but because they look so much like muppets and sesame street characters.

  2. I don't keep up with musical theater like I used to. Seems like from what I think I remember hearing about this one I don't think I'd care for it. A lot of musicals just don't seem as wholesome as they used to be.

  3. @djinnia: The school version is considerably tamer.

    @Arlee: This one is definitely not wholesome, although I don't know about "as they used to be." There's plenty of old stuff that's also not.
