"All nine actors put on the owlish glasses to play Lennon himself, including the four women and two black men."

It's that new "Lennon" musical, playing in San Francisco -- described by Newsweek. Sounds heavy on the Ono:

It was the Lennon-as-everyman conceit that won Ono over. "I was sort of hesitant to say yes to the usual proposal, but this one was very special," she says. "It's very significant that we are saying anyone can play John, not one race or one special kind of people."

Is that special? Or is that maudlin crapola?

So far, the reviews have been "weak." Consider that "Woman Is the N----- of the World" comes across as the best song in the show.
