Featuring a silly yet smartly satirical book by Gersh Kuntzman, who plays a judge, this musical joyride often feels like a college revue. That's not surprising, since Marc Dinkin, who wrote the music and lyrics and serves as musical director, won an award for a rock opera he wrote at Harvard. His lyrics are witty, if at times verbose. Here's a sample line from the catchy, Beach Boys-esque "My Little Ugo": "True, my little Yugo won't survive a big crash/But your SUV will roll over and you'll get whiplash." Exemplifying the show's silly side, another ditty is called "Dick, Have Some Balls."

The Dick in question to is Dick Johnson (Christian Maurice), whose company is making bigger and bigger SUVs. The behemoths have names like the Deforester and the Defiler. Dick is about to unveil "the first extremely large vehicle," the Destroyer, which will seat 11 adults. "I don't even know 10 people," says Spiros (Kenny Wade Marshall), one of Johnson's three marketing executives who make up a mock Greek chorus. The other two are Demos (Stephanie Roy) and Christos (Chris Griggs).

Johnson lives in a mcmansion boasting three garages with his pert wife Sarah (Dina Plotch) and bleeding-heart daughter Jennifer (Jen Kersey). Jennifer's funny solo number is "I Wish I Was in India (Starving)." Taking on Johnson and his bloated vehicles is environmentalist Max Blank (Adam Wolfsdorf). The actors who play Johnson's staff double as Blank's coworkers; they later triple as toadying reporters from automobile magazines.
