I'm all about not cowing to terrorism. I'm also all about insensitive satire. But I feel like maybe this musical was old before it started. This war and its elements have been beaten to death by comedic representations. I am glad they aren't afraid of backlash (like with the Muhammad cartoon mess). Maybe it is something we haven't seen before. I have a feeling it will eventually make its way over here.
