I saw the musical at Breakthru 2003, and it seemed like I was the only one who thought it sucked. Most Queen fans there could overlook the lame plot, but I could not ...
yep you are the loner in this one

Wait a mo! Is that the crappy videoed version?? Jeez, no-wonder you didn't like it. Like others have said, you really need to experience it 'live'. I'd seen clips and felt it to be cold. And that's why I had the bad feeling when I was dragged to the show. But I was pleasantly surprised.
This happens every year at my theatre group. Watching the show live is fantastic. But when we watch the recorded versions, it hasn't got that fun factor from seeing and experiencing it.
What was the production of sound and picture like? I mean, was it like a concert rig-up for cameras and soundboard sound? Like a proper video release?
Peace,
Adam.

Mr. Scully
I agree that seeing one thing live and watching it on DVD/TV makes a HUGE difference. When I saw Bejart Ballet on VHS, I was bored to death and fell asleep. Seeing it live was much more entertaining.
So I'm gonna see this WWRY hype for sure but I really don't expect to change my opinion about it. Good singers? Maybe. Good show? Definitely. Plot? Lame. Art? No.

The film was top-notch, with different camera angles, absolutely grade A sound.
Despite the 2112 and Kilroy Was Here plot, there were enough good/great moments to make me want to see it live (NOBY on its own made it worthwhile).
The other great thing: unlike the showings of Houston 77 the previous two years, and the Hollywood concert this past year, everybody kept their mouths shut.
Nothing like spending all that money to see our highlights of the weekend, just to have people talking and laughing during LOML and 70% of the rest of the videos. Those same people may claim they've seen Houston, but they certainly didn't hear it.
Hopefully this year, those who want to talk will stay out of the room, or they'll crank the stereo up a tad more.
