It seems Nearly Naked Theatre has been doing "naughty" plays for so long now that the company can appear subversive only by presenting a traditional musical. But the 10-year-old troupe isn't pulling a stunt with its production of Blood Brothers, Willy Russell's celebrated smash hit about twins separated at birth...

So after sitting through two hours of complete pap Tuesday night as American Idol's first group of 12 attempted to stay on key long enough to get halfway-decent remarks from the judges, you'd think we'd deserve a break, right? In the Land of the Sea-douche, however, there is no rest...
