Not after seeing his Greendale concert. It was like watching a 6th graders bad play. BAD BAD BAD! Everyone was pissed that they wasted their money.
More "Opera" than "Play" actually. Plays turn on dialog, where in Opera, dialog is what happens between the music.
" sun green started makin' waves
on the day her grandpa died
speakin' out against anything
unjust or packed with lies
she chained herself to a statue of an eagle
in the lobby of powerco
and started yellin' through a megaphone
"there's corruption on the highest floor"
suits poured out of elevators "they're all dirty"
phoneheads began to speak "you can't trust anybody"
but security couldn't get her down
she was welded to the eagle's beak
sun green leaned into that megaphone
and said,"truth is all i seek"
security brought in some blowtorches
news cameras recorded the speech
when the city is plunged into darkness
by an unpredicted rolling blackout
the white house always blames the governor,
sayin', 'the solution is to vote him out'"
on top of that great bronze eagle
sun's voice was loud and clear
she said, "powerco is workin' with the white house
to paralyze our state with fear""
Although it was a little rough in the production, I *still* thought it was better than another little 2003 show you might have heard about. Wicked.
