At one point, the libretto to this musical was online in it's entirety, and I had cut and pasted it here, but it's now been removed, so I did the same.

Haha, Dee Roscioli was in it?? Clearly her best performance ever.

Greg, did you really have to post the entire libretto here?

Bumped because Andrew Rannells, who played James, is now a Tony winner!

i saw it live too. it really was awful. looking back i relize just how bad it was- i looked soo 90's LOL. I really disliked the wig they had Andrew in- it looked nothing like the cartoon at all. the actors really did not fit their cartoon counterparts at all.

Ermmm, not quite. Maybe on the planet of Kolob, but not on this one yet!!

I have to say I'd probably go for a Pokemon musical that used the songs from the original Japanese version and delved into the episodes never shown in the US Updated On: 6/22/11 at 06:56 PM

Someone has posted a full "Making Of..." to YouTube. I'm surprised this hasn't made it onto Stage Tube yet!

^Yes. There is a video from the run at Radio City posted on youtube that seems to be shot from the house camera with soundboard audio.

It's epic in the worst way.

You know what? I changed my mind after watching more of it. This is epic in a way it clearly wasn't intended to be. This doesn't seem much like an official "make money off the kiddies" show nearly as much as it seems like a well-intentioned but tongue-deep-into-cheek fan homage-parody musical.

I mean, come on. Ash turning on the original Pokemon theme song and dancing in his underwear? A Professor Oak apparently in love with Ash's Mom but still insanely super-camp? Throw in a few expletives and it could be Starkid.

I am watching it right now... and it seems be a sincere attempt!! What brings it down is the horrible "puppets" (which just sit there) and the set. The lighting, music, and script are fun and really true to the pokemon legacy.

Dear God I love this show. It's so cheesy, but if they take that into account with the direction, it could be great :) (Wishes for new cast recording)
