Posted: 1/23/06 at 1:48pmI like this recording. I do enjoy the music, even though the lyrics aren't too great at times. Kerry Butler sounds a tad bit weak at points, but she's still a wonderful singer. And Christian Borle is excellent. I'd recommend it.

No, Christian Borle is not the lead. The lead character, Luke, is played by Joshua Park.
Christian Borle plays dual roles: Kane, Luke's brother; and Zach, Luke's boyfriend.

Mmmm, Christian. It's not the best thing I've ever heard - the lack of orchestrations is a little disappointing (just a piano), and something about it seems a little lacking...but it's still a great story. And you can't go wrong with Christian. 
I about died when I saw the pictures of him in a leather jacket, slicked-back hair and sunglasses in the booklet.
