I saw a lot of negative reviews on the Simpsons subreddit but I don't think they got it. What really struck me was that even in the first act they get a few of the details of the episode wrong.

I saw this thing performed by theater students at a university in Australia. I've never seen something so bizarre executed with such gusto. It was great, honestly.
