It was amazing. I also saw it in New York more than once. The new songs were great, but the new book sucked. Rosie should have brought the real Taboo here instead of saddling it with an inferior book.

I saw Jim Stanek (one of the Broadway understudies) in a regional production of The Story of My Life three times, and I still use “The Butterfly” as an audition song. I also had a really good time at Cry-Baby, and Taboo’s cast recording was one of my favorites when I was in college. I even liked Lestat when I saw it; the music was forgettable, but the performances were great.
