 One Of The Funniest Plays To Hit New York With Melons August 10, 2008
Stephen Thomas (New York, NY)
I saw this play at The New York City Fringe Festival and it was one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Frantic, mad-cap humour mixed with satire and parody. Any fans of Monty Python, The Blackadder, Howard Ashman & Alan Menken, or Fred Allen will feel right at home!
In a vain attempt to impress an alluring diplomat at The UN, Miles Muldoon gets pummelled by melons by protesting fruit pickers from Guatemala. The blow on the head gives him the ability to read minds and he discovers a plot by the fiendish terrorist He (played by the same actor) to disrupt The UN, as well as the collusion of those involved.
Michael McEachran is like a young Danny Kaye, bouncing between 2 characters and sailing through lightning fast lyrics and constant slap-stick. After seeing the show I got a copy of the early cast recording titled, "I Know What You're Thinking" which featured enough dialogue to keep the context of the story moving along and also featured numbers removed or replaced by the time I saw a production. I am quite eager to hear this newer recording and am sorry I missed it's official Off-Broadway run.

I actually liked this campy off-broadway show. Come on, it was meant to be fun, and three cheers for Nikki Snelson - "I'm In Love With a Terrorist"!
However, when it comes to any soundtrack CD, I measure it on what you can get from just listening to it. This soundtrack is totally meaningless without the on stage antics.
How To Save 15 Bucks and Find Something Better To Do for 90 Minutes June 23, 2007

Did the first reviewer see the same play I saw? Impossible. The only reason I stayed to the end was because I paid for the ticket (half price) and it's a sin to waste money. Though its premise sounded appealing at first, I ended up being spectacularly unimpressed with both the story and the music. I squirmed in embarrassment for the composer and librettist, as this material was obviously supposed to be fresh and irreverent but instead was simply weak and painfully unfunny. I hope Mr Karp and Mr Weinstein have day jobs, because musical comedy is definitely not their calling.
The Bomb on the Cover is Apt. May 11, 2007

Do not be fooled by any shill reviews, this show was a disaster in its commercial off-Broadway run last fall. As a matter of fact, they were so desperate for audiences that they told people how to get half-price tickets in the famous New York times ABC ads; absolutely unheard of! The score is a mish-mash of derivative music aiming to be satirical and lyrics that (as one critic noted) "have a distressingly casual sense of rhyme." Having suffered through this show (luckily on a free ticket) the only saving grace of this recording is that one will be blessedly free of most of the book, quite possibly the stupidest seen in a "professional" musical in a generation; yet even with being blessedly ignorant of the story's shortcomings the score to this is all but unlistenable. Look up Variety's pan of this show online and you will see it actually contains the phrase "bring barf bags." Buyer beware.
Disappointing show May 11, 2007

I saw this show last year with a free ticket. Unfortunately, I didn't get my value out of it. The music is pretty lackluster. The show had its moments, but I can't imagine the soundtrack being enjoyable in the least.
