Repo! The Genetic Opera

So, I just saw Repo! The Genetic Opera with [livejournal.com profile] quix and [livejournal.com profile] autumnbriars. It was pretty awesome! It's got an... odd appeal to it. It's pretty gory (the premise is organ repossession) and some of it can get a little suggestive (only suggestive, though), and it's an opera (not just a musical; I think maybe 3 lines near the end weren't sung). The music is, in my opinion, pretty cool. It's a Rock Opera type deal; it brought to mind the likes of Savatage and (less so) Dream Theater. Especially the stuff that the Graverobber sang. He was cool. And I liked a lot of the father-daughter duets.

So, yes. A very cool show, which I would recommend you all give a chance if you can, but it may have narrow appeal. It's a limited run, too, so it may be hard to find; I saw it at the local college, though. I would think that Leslie and Carl, Josh, maybe Erin, possibly Laurel, and maybe Amber would have the most interest in it. But, you know, there's no accounting for taste.
