Les Miserables (Miserable?)

Les Mis.
A world-renowned production. But will it pass the "guy test"?

Rewind to Saturday the 11th. Location: The Ordway in downtown St. Paul. Right next to the Excel Center (Go Wild!). 2:00 is curtain call. Let the guy test commence.

GUY TEST:
(In honor the Minnesota Wild, we will grade by goals, not points.)

1. +5 Goals for being right next the Excel Center
2. -2 Goals for having to get dressed up
3. -5 Goals for the CD prices being $50 and $60
   
4. -9 Goals for being a musical where every single word is sung
5. +5 Goals for the music. (It was much better than RENT.)
6. +6 Goals for a good redeeming story line
7. -4 Goals for a love story towards the end
8. +5 Goals for the bar owner and his wife (Very funny)
   
9. -2 Goals for confusing names (The only two names I could kinda remember were Jean Claude Van Damn and Corvette)
10. +5 Goals for the war scene
11. +2 Goals for having no ones life safe (The kid gets shot)
12. -6 Goals for being so long (It seemed like 6 hours instead of 3)
13. -3 Goals for the guy behind me for clapping like he has never seen anything better
14. +3 Goals to the guy next to me for wanting the play to hurry up as much as I did

FINAL SCORE: +31/-31=A Tie
SHOOTOUT: +50 Goals because Erin loved it and that's why we went
WINNER: Erin and Les Miserables
