| Sheer Madness, plainly put, is a waste of American theatre. It has developed into nothing more than a tourist attraction with stereotypes and bad jokes. Perhaps it has been at the Kennedy Center for profit purposes, but if it were for quality entertainment, I would question American theatre altogether. Some places have been famous, and popular, for bad humor, but with the name the Kennedy Center, there should be some sign of taste or respect. Sheer Madness is also a disgrace to American theatre. One way to validate their bad taste is by using phrases such as �it would be as fun as a shopping spree with Winona Ryder,� which the topic has been drawn out and joked about for too long. Another way Sheer Madness shames the American theatre scene is the idea it presents to international visitors. They may judge America by comparing it with America and conclude that America, like Sheer Madness, though impressive and expensive on the outside (the Kennedy Center), it is cheap and bland on the inside (Sheer Madness). Perhaps it is time to discontinue the long run of Sheer Madness and locate it somewhere it belongs, far from good taste, just like Sheer Madness. |
