liakuGot the soundtrack. Holy shit this sucks.
Well, if you don't listen to the lyrics, it sounds... fine. Great voices actually. I'm curious what their Romeo looks like because his voice sounds pretty much the same as Lukas' but better. I'm not about to compare it to the awesomeness that was Rómeó és Júlia, . They changed how a lot of the songs work, but I'm not a French purist, so I don't really care. But what idiot translated this? They had every single work of Shakespeare to legitimately steal rhyming lines from, and they didn't. They could've ripped the lines straight from the play itself, but they didn't.
I mean, seriously. You're making a musical of a play that was pretty much written in sonnet form. Take your freaking rhyming lines from the play. Les Rois Du Monde revolved around the world "dumb" and whatever would rhyme with it--which is not much, so dumb was rhymed with dumb a great deal. Yeah. Ouch. To be fair, half the songs are fine. The other half are godawful.
