CLASSIC MAD DEPT.
MAD founder, the late William M. Gaines, was a large man who liked large things: Zeppelins (he had dozens hanging from his office ceiling), King Kong (he had a giant Kong head looking in his office window) and the Statue of Liberty (he owned the world’s largest private collection of Statue of Liberty casts).

“Though technically not part of the production, Julie Taymor throwing fruit at the stage was a highlight of the show, and they should probably keep it.”
