You may choose one of these three options.(I wish I could have shown you Hamilton.)
Then answer the questions below.
Pippin
This is one of my favorite musicals ever because it is fun and wild and super super 70s. The main dancer is one of the finest performers ever to have graced Broadway. It upended a lot of the romantic and sentimental musicals that came before it and offered a sort of Meta-theatrical take to mainstream audiences. Inspired by Bertolt Brecht and American Vaudville, it makes fun of the "young man looking for his place in the world" story.

Into the Woods
Many people consider this production to be one of the best classic Broadway productions. This dark and twisty little musical takes well known Fairy Tale characters and shakes them up when a Giant brings fatal consequences to the story. I love this one too. It is on Amazon and will cost you $3 to watch. Or you can find a low-quality one on youtube.
Mad Deep Dish
This is a non-musical option and is where the online monologues from last week come from. It is a sort of choose-your-own-adventure through a bunch of conspiracy theories that are interconnected. Because this was created as an experiment, it can get a little buggy with the chatbots. If you want to watch this option make sure you copy the link into a new tab, or the VirtualProff Bot might block the other Mad Deep bots.
