It sounds like the dialogue is full of references to rock lyrics and rock bands and performers. Is the show as quick-witted and clever as a Blackadder episode?
I read this summary on Wikipedia: "The musical tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought and fashion, and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same." This strikes me as extremely sad as here we are today, nearly two decades after this musical was released, and the pressure to conform is stronger than ever; indeed, it is now legally enforced in many respects. The virus is being used to justify even further control, and we are being brainwashed in to "binge-watching Netflix" and accepting similar mind-numbing, screen-based, conformity-inducing activities as "the new normal."
Anyway, as you know, I love your custom-costumed "Scaramouche" Bratzillaz gal, and she looks as goth-glam as ever here!
Its called “ lesser magic”. “ They” show you in advance what “ they” are going to do as a n changes to society.
There are a ton of media going back showing where they want to take us. Logans Run, 1984 etc
A lot of spooky stuff happening now including bible prophecy being fulfilled if ypu beilve in that.
Yeah, we are totally living in what is quickly becoming a 1984 world, with shades of Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451, and a bit of Lord of the Flies. Disturbing times.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
