No Summer Rerun

Within the limits of the tubular milieu, the only thing more entertaining than simply watching TV is making fun of it. And this is the tried-and-true tack taken by the local comedy sketch group Nietzsche's Moustache in its new spoof, 60 Minutes: the Musical!, which opens today at the Avenue Theater for a run that continues through the end of August. In it, the regular 60 Minutes team becomes simultaneously indisposed, replaced by the correspondents from hell (i.e. Nietzsche’s Moustache), who sing, dance and satirize their way through a typical episode of the newsmagazine (complete with interviews, commercial parodies and Broadway-style numbers) – with atypical results.
