| I saw it, attracted by the cast, and the fact that I was young, and it was cheap, and I'd see anything. It was just awful. On the desperate level of "Fun City" and "Four On A Garden" and "Things That Go Bump In The Night." Nothing worked, and it was playing to an almost empty house. One of those show where I'd bought my usual back balcony seat and was directed by the ushers to sit in the front of the orchestra, just so the actors didn't feel they were playing to seats. Even at 18, I knew enough to feel sorry for everyone involved, but only barely: I was laughing in the wrong places, at things that were ludicrous, and not laughing at the occasional intended jokes. I'm sure everyone but the investors was happy when it closed. |

| Thanks, "Whistler." Having seen "Fun City" and "Four on a Garden," you made me laugh using them as references. I was too young to have been able to see UTBU, but I do own the poster since it's by the brilliant Tomi Ungerer (so there was that). | |

| Yes, it's a fantastic poster. (Not that I own a copy.) | |

| Damn. I just went looking for the Ungerer UTBU poster online and couldn't find it. I haven't thought of him and his work in years, though I used to like his art a lot. I even used knockoffs of it once as projections for a production of a Brecht play. If anyone can find a link to the UTBU poster, please tell me the key words, if you can't post the link here. Thanks. |

| Thanks. That's great. Nicely funny. And probably better than the script and the production. | |
