Indeed, the show--conceived by Berlin restaurateur Hans-Peter Wodarz and a hit in Berlin, Venice and Paris--is stopping in New York City (through March) en route to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. But the show, which offers a meal, a circus and a lot of comic milling for $150 per person (excluding drinks), means to be the ultimate upmarket version of show-biz spectacle.

Follow follow follow yer ass will follow and what a fine FAT ASS it is and BREAK to nineteen hundred and ninety-three disco is dead but now so is punk rock and glam rock and pop rock and self-righteous rock and freedom rock and even grunge rock.
