Sometimes we try really hard to like things and no matter how hard we try, it just doesn’t work.
Let’s just preface by saying that sometimes if you have to try to like something, then something must be wrong.
Such was the case with the musical “Cowboy Poet.”
It would be easy enough to blame the nasty weather outside or maybe it was the length of the show (two-and-a-half hours). Whatever the reason, it seemed as though many in the audience couldn’t help but wonder when the Los Alamos Little Theatre production would end.
