    About 15 of 'us' - all but one a former Jw, and most either familiar with this board or currently posters here - attended the play in the Chicago Theater District last night.

    What a hoot! According to the geniuses [the same guys who did South Park] who were behind the production, it targetted Mormons on the way to poking fun at all religious delusion.

    It was a great play, great actors, and wonderful props.

    Among the funniest of songs was this one, set immediately after the Mormon Missionaries landed in Uganda. This clip does not have video, just the lyrics - you'll get the idea of how the rest of the satire goes:

    I saw it in New York a couple of months ago. I laughed the whole way through.

    It's got a special resonance for (ex)JWs. And the songs are just great!

    The satirical overlay to all religion was obvious. 'Let's solve all these problems by reading a book'.

    I say with gusto: Hasa Diga Eebowai!

    Good being with you folks yesterday AK and wife, Zed and OTWO. Nice of you guys to walk me to the parking lot afterward.

    Look forward to seeing you all again. Hasa Diga Eebowai! (Maybe that's how we should greet each other going forward.)
