"You are CRAZY!!! I have seen this show and if it gets bad reviews it will NOT be because of how good or bad the show is"

Yes, that is usually how reviews go, they never give a bad review because of how good or bad the show is

I have seen plenty of shows where the audience gave rave responses and raised the roof during productions where critics then destroyed the show because it wasnt conventional. A lot of reviews are given and many times there are very political decisions made! Thats what I mean about the show and whether it is good or bad. Oh and quote me on that!

it looks cool.
But a cast recording only deals with sounds.
Does it sound cool?

The music is really good. Like most have posted it is very celtic and there is mostly an underscore throughout the entire show. There are very few solos and even fewer ensemble numbers. You have to remember this is not being billed as a "Musical" Think of it more as a play set to music. However the moments where there are singing are well done. They are very welcoming moments. The ensemble numbers and Gollum's number are nothing short of a spectacle. The elvish choirs provide an unbelievable dissonant harmony. It is very unique. As far as Broadway. They are aiming at a London Premiere in Spring of 07. I imagine if Toronot and London are successful it could be in NY by 08
