Ewwww. Bladder as in haggis? Not that again...

This here's the story of Willy Lomond: a man who's had too much haggis...

I can't say objectively. I had to do the play in high school. I was the
doctor, but I caught the flu just a day before we performed (grrrr...)

Never seen that. I don't do well around musicals (sorry James Brown). Though I
did get to see the _King and I_ with Yul way back when.
