Marc Shaiman (Hairspray, South Park) vs. Michael John LaChiusa (The Wild Party, Marie Christine)
So first LaChiusa writes an article for the newsletter of the Metropolitan Opera ("the Met") about the "death" of Musical Theatre. Shaiman then posts a very bitchy rebuttal on Talkin' Broadway (which unfortunately is no longer available as posts expire after a few days), which then spawns a hilarious thread with all the other forumers joining in. I didn't mention it in the podcast because I just got this link now, but this big hubbub even caught the attention of the New York Times (free subscription required) and Variety (paid subscription required).
