"What was it that you didn't like about it? Was it the music or was it the overall production? I ask because I own the cast recording which I love a lot but I've never gotten to see the production itself and there have been quite a few people who have been sticking it on their least liked lists. It didn't do badly on Broadway, I think it ran for about 3 years, it crashed when the film came out mind you but I'm sure that was to be expected."
Well, I got the cast recording two years before I saw a production at the Kennedy Center, right after the movie came out. I thought it wasn't bad, but after I started seeing more productions, I just started comparing it and just thought that Titantic wasn't that great. I'm more of a story/song person myself, but I just sat during the production thinking, "I really hope the original version was better." Which I'm assuming it was.
"During this performance, please feel free to let your cell phones and pagers ring willy-nilly. However, do remember that there are heavily-armed knights on stage and you might well be dragged up and impaled."
