It's like every LOTR fag's dream come to shuddering life then colliding with every amateur musical theater fag's dream to create an implosion of sad. Pretty sure Tolkien would have gotten out of his seat and cold-cocked this guy.
Yeah I saw it too (fuck y'all it was a gift from mom).
Trust me, BD speaks the truth; that 'Lothlorien' number made me want to projectile vomit off the balcony (although the Balrog was surprisingly well done for a stage production).
The funny part was, the English company responsible for this mess used Toronto as a 'testing ground'.
When it was universally panned over here they were all like 'Hrummph! Canadians don't know good theatre
blahblahcoloniesblahblah etc.' so they brought it back to England, where critics of course ripped it a new Hobbit Hole.
