Review:
Eat the Taste the Monday night political satire at the Barrow Street Theater, by the men who wrote Urinetown, suggests that John Ashcroft, the Attorney General, really wants to be in Musical Theater. It's a farce, including a great fight scene, choreographed by David Brimmer, and is full of show business in-jokes and FBI ridiculousness. It's fun to put Ashcroft, Cheney and their fellows down. The performances are as over-the-top as the premise, and at 65 minutes, director John Clancy keeps us amused.
