My two principal interests have combined to incendiary effect:

Suicide bombing, mass bloodshed and fundamental Islam do not exactly lend themselves to singing and dancing.
But Jihad the Musical by the Silk Circle Production company has forged on regardless and is already being performed on stage at the Edinburgh Festival… The terrorism musical – billed as a “madcap gallop through the wacky world of international terrorism” – has already sparked protests.
A petition calling for the Prime Minister to condemn the musical has been launched on his Downing Street website.

Anyone who thinks this is the first suicide-bomb musical should try doing Sondheim in Des Moines.
