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

Based on the context you're correct. My concern is that as a Church

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

So if I am to understand, this is just one of the scheduled stops a Broadway cast is making on this years tour of this

If it is arbitrary, geesh — kinda shocking. I thought that show was basically dead. Silly me.
