Pig Farm

Okay, so Lydia and I are both slacking on postings. I think it's the heat. In any case, we saw Pig Farm a couple weeks ago, and it was great. It's by the writer and director of Urinetown, which is an incredibly wonderful and hilarious show. And this show was hilarious in the same ridiculous style.

Basically the show tells the story of a man and a wife on a pig farm with a kid who is working for them. The pig farm gets audited by the government and chaos ensues. It's basically great.

The show starts out a little slow, but it's still funny, and by the end we were both like laughing so much it hurt. It helped that there were these two little old ladies next to us that were basically falling off their chairs laughing. It was great. The ending is phenomenal. It was a little tough, because the main actress on stage was pretty much laughing the whole last scene as well, when she was supposed to be crying.

I thought the cast was great, a little less impressed by the main guy, but very impressed by Logan Marshall-Green (trey in the OC). And of course Dennis O'Hare can do no wrong.

So if you're looking for a good laughing night at the theater, go see this show.
