Confusing, Dizzying, Great Singing, Great Staging, Quirky

See it if you enjoy strong operatic voices, unique staging and video projection, wild costumes and hairdos and also have an affinity for poetic 7 sins

Don't see it if you want entertainment to make complete sense. I found a bit hard to follow due to the type of singing and being seated next to the piano.
