Walmartopia opens on September 3rd.
"It's a fun, campy science-fiction musical." Her plot focuses on two Walmart "associates" (which is how Walmart refers to its employees), Vicki and her daughter, Maia, drafted into a corporate musical, who use the forum to tell the shareholders about the horrible conditions that they and their fellow employees are faced with. The company executives don't want to hear about it (as an actual current sex discrimination class action brought by 1.6 million female employees will attest to), and Walmart's mad scientist, the fictional Dr. Normal, puts Vicki and Maia in his time portal and transports them to 2037, where they discover a world completely dominated by Walmart."
