I just finished listening to the CD and i really wasnt all that impressed. No 
(original) songs really stood out. You know the kind, the ones where you are 
humming them two hours later. Sure, you have 'Knights o/t Round Table" and 
"Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" but thats really it.

Im sure when you "see" the show... instead of just listening to it... it makes 
more sense and it all ties together. I _AM_ looking forward to this show making 
it to the Los Angeles area (i believe its in Chicago presently)... and i _WILL_ 
be getting tickets.

But my very first impression of the music, although VERY musical theatre, VERY 
Broadway, was less than impressive.

I Love Tim Curry (plays "King Arthur") -- great baritone voice and fantastic 
actor -- but his vocals werent that strong, kinda weak. Nothing like his Rocky 
Horror days (yes, i understand that was 30 years ago and voices change over 
time).

Have any of you bought the CD or have heard the music yet? And your thoughts.
