The Show Must Go On

My wife and I went and saw Walter Wonka and the Lawyer Factory¹, the law school musical by Minnesota Law School's TORT² theater group over the weekend. It was awesome. I don't think I've laughed that much all year. Highlights included (but are certainly not excluded to) the following:
- My legal writing instructor playing rich "socialite" London Ramada, who go into the lawyer factory because her daddy gave the dean a plane.
- The lega-loompas and their acrobatics
- The "Mondalian Rhapsedy" (to the tune of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsedy) which included Walter Wonka writing rejection and wait-list letters (my favorite... the wait list letter included the phrase "I am waiting to see if people smarter than you bail on me.")
- The song "Give Them Pizza" (to the tune of ABBA's Mama Mia!) - referring to the method of getting students to attend a group's meetings
- My property professor playing a professor who buys into the gunner's suck-up ways.

There are many more, but overall the musical was awesome. I really wish I would have taken part in it this year. I have to be sure to be involved next year.
