Another potential MASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTERWUHK for Branson East:One of the hits of last summer’s New York Intl. Fringe Festival, the musical political satire “Walmartopia,” will have a commercial run, opening Sept. 3 at Off Broadway’s Minetta Lane Theater.
With a book by Catherine Capellaro and music and lyrics by Andrew Rohn, the show skewers the world’s largest company via the vicissitudes of a single mom and Wal-Mart employee, who speaks out against working conditions and ends up transported with her daughter to 2036, when Wal-Mart rules the planet.George S. Kaufman once said satire is what closes on Saturday night. In the modern Branson East what closes Saturday night actually closed ten years ago.
