O.K., so there are a million topics on how bad the show is. I didn't see it, I don't know... but I do know that the recording is one of the worst things I have heard in a long time. To me, it hits the category of laugh-out-loud bad. I'm sure there are others who share this opinion. What is the funniest moment on the recording or from the show for that matter.
Personally, every time I hear the out-of-control and out of place electric guitar my side splits.
The moment I laughed out loud when I say it, after many moments of biting my lip, was when Grace O'Malley gives birth to her baby then immediately gets up, picks up a sword and grunting and straining, half crawling on the floor, fights the men who are threatening to take over the ship.
^ I hate when people say that though, because it actually happened. That's how it went down historically. She gave birth and then went out to fight. There were indeed many laughable moments during the show, but for me this was not one of them.
Even if it did happen, if it wasn't staged properly and if it didn't make sense within the show, then I can see how people would have thought it was laughable. From the description it sounds pretty absurd, maybe if I had seen the show I would've found it believable though...

ohh jeez...my mother was DYING for me to take her to see this for her birthday in July...thank god it closed before then! And luckily she is just as happy to go see "Curtains." :)

This is what's so tragic about the Lestat CD never having been released. So many of us who never saw that show have lost a great opportunity to bash it.
