Gail and I saw "Saved"

So Gail and I went to the show tonight. It was a little theater off Broadway called the Playwrights Horizons, where they work with emerging writers.
.
We saw "Saved", which is a musical based on the movie "Saved!". The poster is at the bottom to remind you.
.
The difference was that this show was rewritten to be less judgemental and mocking of the the Christian school kids. Hard as it is to believe, the show was actually much more honest about the questions people go through in their relationship with a higher power. Sounds corny, and at times it was, but for the most part is pulled it off.
.
Primarily due to Celia Keenan-Bolger, who played Mary (the good-girl who tries to make her gay boyfriend become straight by having sex with him once, then getting knocked up, then falling in love with the Pastor's son), Aaron Tveit (who I LOVED in Next to Normal and played the gay boyfriend here) and Van Hughes (who played the Pastor's son).
.
The rest of the crew was also great. The Macaulay Culkin character was direct from Xanadu and the Mary's mother was expanded for the show and had a killer voice.
.
Gail really like it to.

The Playwrights Horizon works with new ideas (they work-shopped Sunday in the Park with George as well as Grey Gardens) - and I thought the show could use a little trimming. But generally it was really really good.
