When the going gets weird, as Hunter S. Thompson observed, the weird turn pro. And next year?s race to represent New York in the U.S. Senate seat is shaping up to be one weird puppy.

If the above clever turn of phrase is not enough to attract you the the second performance, consider: How often does Harvard perform a Tony-Award winning musical? And how often does such a musical include a character named "Whizzer," whom "Marvin" is in love with...
