The Play- A new musical by Norm Scott

So here's the thing. Forrest Gump is full of crap. There. I said it. In truth, life is like picking up a random CD. You never know what you're gonna get. I have to admit, this is one case where the original description is very good, so here it is.
"If you threw a birthday party, invited the Cleaver Family, Frank Zappa, bandleader Spike Jones, and the Muppets... and spiked the cake generously with Contemporary America... you might wind up in the middle of THE PLAY, a modern musical. Join Dad, Mom, the kids, and Rochetti, that lovably clumsy Rocket Scientist, in a world filled with Ritalin, shrinks, kazoos, the National Guard, car accidents, and the final admission that when you die, you\'re dead. Everything is a satire here."

That's a pretty good summary. Think Alvin and the Chipmunks do some acid and sing about life, death, and drugs. Not bad stuff. Definitely not radio friendly, but this disc makes for an occasional interesting diversion.

My brief yet tactful grade -- C
