I love my local paper, but sometimes its small-town roots show, and not in a good way.

Front-page above the fold photo caption today, pic of kids on a school bus:

Third- and fourth-graders from Westshire Elementary School in West Fairlee were heading down I-91 yesterday to see Phantom of the Tollbooth at the Lebanon Opera House.

*sigh*

Clue for editor: Norton Juster is not the same as Gaston Leroux, nor even Andrew Lloyd Webber. Wikipedia and Google are your friend.

Are you kidding me? How AWESOME would an opera of "The Phantom Tollbooth" be??? ;-)

Oh no.

They did do a wretched musical animated version back in a bygone and best-forgotten age.

One would hope a theoretical opera would be better.

But, seriously, Phantom Tollboth rocks! It's prolly the closest thing to a successor to Lewis Carroll out there.
