Now's the time when the pigs are going to die. James Perkins is going...
...Broadway pornocrats have finally run into the law. Che! was shuttered by the police after the second night's performance, and the cast, production staff, director and playwright were charged with "consentual sodomy, public lewdness and obscenity." Should the show never reopen, it would be a boon to untold thousands...
