Bach at Leipsig [B]

The critics seem to think less of this show than I do. In fact, I'm tempted to give it a B+. I can only conclude that there aren't many who like both thought provoking theatre and silly comedy - especially at the same time. All the critics think the author models himself after Stoppard, but I think he's 20% Stoppard, 50% himself, and 30% after the movie "Airplane". If you can balance the silly (and yes, often intentionally repetitive) jokes mixed in with a little real plot, I think you'll like this one despite the critics.
