"After a series of lackluster reviews, the traveling global warming musical that was financed by the U.S. taxpayers is ending its run early."

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

What a shame! But of all the ways my tax dollars are wasted, a musical on global warming is the least objectionable.

Fortunately, you are only one taxpayer out of millions Gaveston. I do not agree with the above sentiment. I am grateful that we will not longer be dumping any more of our own, hard-earned money on this ridiculous project.

Wow, what a random project. It sounds like a latter day Industrial Musical, but intended for a wider audience.

At least they were trying to do something artistic and helpful. Trying being the key term of course. I agree that it's the least of the useless things money is being spent upon.

As an investor in this musical, I demand tickets to the Tony Awards.

Some of the songs are really wonderful.

"Where Have All the Ice Caps Gone" is a classic showstopper with dancing emaciated polar bears.

And the 11:00 o'clock number "Gore's Turn" still haunts me.

There is a black ops group in the CIA that funds Wildhorn shows

This explains who his investors are.

Well, since it's reported in the Washington Free Beacon, I guess we just have to take notice!
