Walmartopia
Walmartopia is a musical with music by Andrew Rohn and book by Catherine Capellaro. It is an irreverent political satire of big business and eternal smiley faces, a musical tale of a single mom who speaks up to her corporate employer and finds herself and her young daughter jettisoned to a future where Wal-Mart dominates the entire world.
