I was on HQ staff (interim corps) the year AOS was done.  They did several performances and I attended several of those because my boss told me I had to go.  I always fell asleep during the show.  At first I tried really hard to stay awake and then I just thought "To hell with it" and enjoyed the nap.  I don't know anything about dance, but I did find it painful to watch LCM doing his thing up there.   
Groucho, your description of the performance is hysterical.
