Return to the Forbidden Planet

So my good friend Molly makes me go see many plays that I would not otherwise be inclined to see.  Last night we went to the GMUHS performance of Return to the Forbidden Planet.  I prepared for a snooze but as you might expect since I'm writing about it, the play was enjoyable.  It's a spoof on Shakespeare and takes place on an intergalactic ship.  And then there's the music.  I knew the words to every song they sang such as "Don't let me be misunderstood", "Gloria", "Only the Lonely", "Monster Mash" and of course "Mr. Spaceman". There were 20 songs in all.   How can you miss with great 50's and 60's music and a total spoof on Shakespeare?  If you want to check it out, tomorrow is your last chance.  7PM at GMUHS, April 2.
