REPO! The Genetic Opera - Sunday 11/23

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Seeing our old friend Terrance on the big screen in the role he's been working on for well over a decade was pretty cool. There was some great costuming, and the gory bits were nicely done. Paris Hilton was a natural in a role that was basically her already.

Sadly, the rest was crap. The story was choked to death by repeated tellings, and reliance on singing everything just hurt the characters. There were some bad, miscast actors, including the lead girl, which ruined the whole film. Some of the good music from the old show still shone through here and there but was mostly covered with the new stuff, which was not good at all.

If those that saw it are interested, here's a link to the old New York show page, and here's a trailer of sorts of the 2002 show in LA, starring GD's cousin as Shilo. Ah, what might have been.
