Power leads to corruption leads to comedy. The inevitable musical send-up of our felonious guv, handled with Broadway glitter and schmaltz by Second City, has critics rolling in the aisles. The show exploits a lucky confluence between the bombast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's “Jesus Christ Superstar” and the Blag's self-dramatizing messiah complex. It also offers a generous helping of local references, making it one for the natives, not just the tourists. If we can't laugh at ourselves, then who can?
