Michael Dale takes a look at Golem Owned a Tropical Smoothie at The Tank:
As Anton Chekhov wrote, if the title song of a musical is interrupted with a legal disclaimer regarding the use of copyrighted material, the first act had better end with a cease and desist order being issued to the authors.
Okay, I'm paraphrasing a little, but a major point composer/bookwriter/lyricists Ethan Crystal and Garrett Poladian emphasize from time to time during their crazily mindless bit of joyful nonsense titled Golem Owned a Tropical Smoothie is that the title character is absolutely named after the public domain Golem of Jewish folklore and, as the ensemble company sings out, "it has nothing to do with The Ring." |
