I've been listening to Kristina a ton later. Good to see there's been some talk of it on here. The score is nothing short of glorious. I hope they keep the full length show in tact. It's a shame Americans (I'm one too) can't sit still and be compelled for 4 hours. It's long, but the story is there, so it's doable.
I also want to make a correct as to something ThunderCat said about Dance of the Vampires. The original Austrian production was written first in English, so Steinman could compose the score (he doesn't speak German), then translated into German. In fact, some of the original reviews from Vienna noted this and said the show will likely work better in English. The problem with the Broadway show was the original show was rewritten. The disgrace had nothing to do with a translation.
