Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:33pmShould I buy the cast recording or not? Please, help me with your point of view because Amazon hasn't got music samples from this show. Thanks.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:35pmThe show was quite awful on-stage, but comes off better on CD. The only real reason to buy it is for Norbert Leo Butz.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:35pmIf you have other things on your list, I'd say skip it. It's okay once through, but not something I put on often, unless I need a good giggle.

I think that was EVERYBODY'S reaction.

"Someone is saying, THOU SHALT NOT". The title tune is catchy, in a KILL ME NOW, sort of way. I like "Take Her to the Mardi Gras". hehe, it's fun, again, in a slightly painful way.
Didn't Debra Monk spell out the murderer on a scrabble board?
Harry Connick Jr. shouldn't be allowed to write musicals or guest star on Will and Grace.

If I remember correctly, yes.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:54pmAfter her character had a stroke, apparently. Oh my. The Cast Recording definetly deserves a good laugh once around, but after that, it should be burned quickly.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:56pmI've tried to block the entire show from my memory. I will, however, throw on the cast album from time to time (as you said, for a good laugh).

Even the cast is kind of horrible, except Norbert.
What's that one song, "Tugboat, tugboat..."
