Okay, so if you don't know about Prop 8, (i.e. if you've been living under a rock for the last few months) let me explain it briefly. There was a measure on the ballot in California this year to rescind the right of same-sex couples to marry and to define marriage as between one man and one woman, thereby actively enshrining in law a big old spoonfull of hatred and discrimination. It passed. Fun times! Now, I don't live in the US of A, but that's irrelevant. Discrimination anywhere stinks.
So, why am I bringing this up now? Well, welcome to Prop 8 The Musical, created and written by Hairspray composer Marc Shaiman, "six weeks later than he shoulda" (according to the credits). I agree - too frickin late dude. But whatever, it's hilarious and Allison Janney is in it, which means I would watch it even if it were an infomercial for hemorrhoid oitment.
I love the lady who keeps saying "ObamaNation!" and the totally spaced-out chick in the purple t-shirt who says "What else. Does the bible say. Je-sus?" Also, how frickin awsome is John C Reilly's singing voice? I'm off to watch Chicago..
