Great singing, Dizzying, Confusing, Quirky, Great staging

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.

Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if you would like to hear a collection of dramatized songs from some of the luminaries of new music, with interesting multi-media effects.
