Dolly, what'cha think of it (10 Commandments, not Moses und Aaron)?

The type of thing you'd have parties to watch?

Wouldn't that make it sort of like a family reunion for Dolly?

"Is there a collective BWW ass? I didn't feel anything. "

If there was, we'd need ten to fifteen to feel it.

Late to this party, but here nonetheless.

Just saw this DVD this weekend. Mercy Jesus, Have Mercy On My Poor Soul, Help Me....

Val Kilmer playing the YOUNGER brother of Kevin Earley? I laughed out loud. That score? It all sounded like the same song. Who in crikey is Ipale, aka "Seti"?

The whole thing reminded me of those Easter pageants these mega-churches put on every year -- you know, where the adult choir acts out the story of the last week of Christ amidst much slobbering, crying, and gnashing of teeth.

Oh, Lord, he's back. It's funny, bryan, the same thing could be said about you.

And the bumps of Jericho are sounding
Moses, can you hear them
On your lonely road?
Can you hear the bumps of Jericho?

And I actually think this song is good.

Here is the best part. Some people on Amazon actually liked it haha Read this:

Excellent..., February 5, 2007
Reviewer: Sally B. (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Very well done....I wasn't sure at first when I saw it at the video store...the singing was incredible-the music haunting. Chorus numbers exciting and captivating. I haven't been excited about a musical like this since Les Mis and Rent! I'm anxious to find the cd so I can listen in the car.

yeah there are a lot of glowing reviews on the youtube clips too... Who wrote the music? it's all SOOO samey (I don't object to modern pop being in a biblical musical--if it's decent!)

I remember back when it was on a poor woman in the chorus posted on the Sondheim forum where people were mocking it how embarassed much of the cast was (although happy for the jobs of course)...

Oy. What a musical. This show is so bad it should qualify as anti-Semitism

Obvious BUMP, but I knew there had been a discussion either here or on the Old Folk's Board about this show and I remember being very touched by "Horns of Jericho" by a grown-up and sexy Curly Sue (children of the 90s will know who that is) and the raven-haired chorus boy who gave a riveting performance of the score's best song (by far) "Is Anybody Listening?"... a then-unknown chorus boy who we now know is Adam Lambert, the Simon Cowell-proclaimed "World Idol" (even if he didn't technically win).

Love him or hate him, check out his performance of that song again and tell me it's not remotely moving.

I knew of Adam's vocal range because of this DVD prior to Idol. It's not the best song in the world, but it is, unfortunately, the best song in the show and Adam riffs the hell out of it. It's a total guilty pleasure. I love the lyrics too. They're appropriate for Joshua's plight, but they also parallel anyone in a repressed situation which could be applied to a lot of things going on in the world today.

Wow, he is good.

Is this the equivalent of "La Peine Maximum" from the French production?

I posted on the Old Folk's Board (though it was probably deleted like everything else in that time-warped void of a board) that Adam doing a cover of "I Don't Know How To Love Him" ala Judas at the end of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR would be a gay anthem on the level of "I Am What I Am" were he to want to make it one.

But, as was revealed this morning, he'll be too busy fronting QUEEN for musical theatre covers.

Though most people of this generation know QUEEN post-Mercury through WE WILL ROCK YOU and sports/commercials, no? I'd say so but I know there are some teenagers here so maybe they could fill us in.

Adam was the only thing good in this show. I saw it in LA. Wow. What a mess. But Adam was incredible and brought down the house.
