But never before have I wept because I saw in no uncertain terms how blasé we’ve become about our right to choose our leaders. So please: this Tuesday, get out and vote. We know who the bad guys are. Keep them out. And thank you, Messrs. Elmegreen and Fornarola, for reminding us.” (TheaterMania.com)
