Jerry Springer The Opera -- THE CD

I got this CD this weekend, and have listened to it a couple of times. I like it very much, for the most part. I wish they had included a lyric sheet instead of just a plot synopsis. Some of the choral singing (and there is a lot of it) is rather difficult to understand.

The score is great, very funny and shocking. It reminds me of South Park: scatological lyrics, appearances by God and Satan, some catchy showbiz tunes. If it isn't quite as good as South Park, well, I'm not going to hold that against them, because few things are as good as South Park when South Park is really rolling.

Anyone else heard this yet?

re: Jerry Springer The Opera -- THE CD

Yeah, I've posted my thoughts on this before. It's a great show and a great CD but I've listened to it a few times over and find that after you know what's coming it's not really funny anymore so I've put it away for a year or so!

I too wish there was a lyric sheet. When I saw it live it was difficult to understand what they were saying and I thought the recording would make it easier but it hasn't!

To those who haven't heard, I seriously recommend you buy the CD.

I got my copy at Footlights on 12th Street. It's an import so it's a bit pricey, but I thought it was worth it. The score is very intelligent and very funny. It repays repeat listenings.
