Oh good! I reckon it's ace. The showstopper (Wait For Me) has a proper S-tier chorus. And Andre de Shields as Hermes in that recording properly owns the role in the same way Joel Grey will forever be the MC in Cabaret. Only less camp and creepily sexy, more wise street poet.

I may be a "fan of musical theatre", but I'm not really a fan of musical theatre. That one, however, rules. Big variety of styles, but still has a showstopper.

The reason he's only filmed above the waist is to hide the raging erection he gets every time he sees himself on the big screen.
