Because I wrote this and have nowhere to post it but here, this was my ode to having totally forgotten about My fair Lady opening Thursday night until after midnight, because I was totally hypnotized by the release of the Jim Comey memos, until around 11:30 p.m. I finally recognized the Comey memos were a non-story, nothing to see here after excitedly reading them. Biggest political news let-down I can recall. Then i went back to email and saw the My Fair Lady reviews there all at once!
Tune of “Show Me” (an imagined cast of My Fair Lady opening night version)
(verse) Ow -
Nerds, nerds, nerds, all you theater nerds!
All the praise here is true.
But what’s happened to you?
That D.C. distraction won’t do!
We’re getting raves, five-star reviews
What’s in the news? Comey!
Our show should be on the front page.
What’s all the rage? Comey!
Here we are with notices that say we are a coup
Spotlight’s on Jim, we say “us too”
Every stupid memo says what you’ve already heard
Focus on Jim is absurd.
In a small role, cheers for Ms. Rigg!
But look who’s big - Comey, Comey!
Don’t let Jim’s prose put you to sleep.
Please go call Telecharge now
Comey – oww!
