If I know anything about musical theatre people it’s that their lives revolve

Do those plays openly mock, misrepresent, and belittle Judaism?

Let's win but let's also not overreact. I like the Church's original response

We know the final result but that doesn't absolve us of our responsibility

We have a responsibility to be disciples of Christ. I don't think it does anything to fight against the musical. We of
