DYLAN STAGED

The dribble of an artist's songbook hoiked together with a lame story and sold as a must-see musical - thanks for that, Mama Mia - shows no sign of letting up. The latest ill-advised inspiration is The Times They Are A-Changin', a Bob Dylan musical.

Yes, Bob Dylan. Here's a preview:

The plot chronicles a low-rent traveling circus run by Captain Arab (Paul Kandel), and his son Coyote's (Michael Arden) longings for a world outside of the family business. The story also details Coyote's love for a young animal trainer, Cleo (Jenn Colella), who is exploited by Arab.

We're sure at some point there will be a significant moment when a water pump cannot be used, due to some young scamps having removed bits of the equipment for kicks.
