Tomfoolery is a musical revue from the incredibly twisted world of once-famous American satirist Tom Lehrer. Long before Avenue Q made us laugh uneasily about racism, and before the Book of Mormon creators were even born, there was Tom Lehrer… wasting the evenings of people around the world…
Notable songs offend the Vatican, The Audubon Society, The Boy Scouts, Southerners, small towns, environmentalists, chemists, Harvard, folk-singers, the people of Mexico, women, veterans, The United Nations, those with transmittable diseases, most ethnic groups, most religions, the elderly, the Irish, pornographers, math teachers, Oedipus, masochists, drug dealers, gun enthusiasts, the rich, and the poor. It’s really quite impressive to fit it all in.
