I assume your local accounts are correct as to dates, locations, etc. on
Doonesbury meeting the footlights.  The show is a musical, music by
Elizabeth Swados, book by GBT, both of whom are closely involved with the
show.  No reports yet on how it looks, I don't know if it's even in previews
yet.

Myself, I'm skeptical about it.  When was the last time a successful show was
created from a satirical comic strip?  ("Dogpatch" only proved that Al Capp's
creations worked better on paper than the boards.)  But I'm ready to be
surprised.  Look for reviews next Friday.
