Based on Van Morrison’s classic song of the same name, this latest Broadway toe tapper Domino is sure to touch the audience with its tribute to rhythm and blues legend Fats Domino. It tells the classical tale of how a rise to fame and fortune based on singing the blues is not enough to prevent that ultimate downer – surviving a hurricane, only to die.
Here’s what a recent review in New York Magazine had to say about this smash hit song and dance routine of a super star's attempts to survive a collapsing civilization:
“Today, as a result
of the global pandemic, the city’s financial position and the city itself faces
perhaps its most severe crisis since 1975,” he said. “And it may actually be
worse than that.”
“It may take until
Biden gets in,” she said, “but Janet Yellen is not going to let the states
collapse.”
“perversely comforting”
“it’s making the
people who watch this stuff very nervous”
“The pleasant
surprise […] high-income families that are living elsewhere decide to go to the
trouble of changing their residency”
“The second wave will
probably make for a grim Christmas emotionally,”
Take a hint from Morrison’s intro lyrics to the musical
– and be sure to “start riding the subway again”, if you want to get to the show
on time (and survive some of the other unforeseen pre-show fallout):
“Don't wannna discuss it. Think it's time for a change. You may get
disgusted, start thinkin' that I'm strange.
In that case I'll go underground.”

My money is on Janet Yellen to wash away our tears of pending urban collapse, foolishly?
