The music is gorgeous, but the lyrics are lazy and generic. I am only familiar with the revival cast recording. I've seen the show twice now, and both on stage and on the CD, Steve Kazee doesn't do it for me. Is Starbuck supposed to be 10 years younger than Lizzie? Because it just seems so obvious, and it takes away from the possibility of any real chemistry.
Audra is stunning and I love listening to her, John Cullum -- who is fantastic, and every word that Bobby Steggert sings. Christopher Innvar also has a rich, full voice that is great to listen to. What really takes away from it all is those darn lyrics. Nothing kills me more than listening to great performers trying to dig true meaning out of lazy, run of the mill lyrics.
