There was something that always blew me away as a sportswriter … every town and city where I went for games, there was always some sort of interesting tradition or chant or custom that everybody else knew about.
The play sounds legitimately awful. But who knows? The constitution does NOT ignore women. In 1776 "men" referred to both men and women. You should know that.
I consider myself a solid 55-60 on the Broadway fandom scouting scale, but I hadn't heard of this show until reading this. Thanks for the review Joe - definitely want to check it out!

Thanks for going there, Joe, important for us all. Yes, keep the constitution.
How was treatment of women egregious?
