Free Music Review: Its Better to Have Loved A Short, Than To Have Never Loved A Tall...
Hit: 4 Stars
This musical is still growing on me, and in another week I'd probably have it at five stars. This, of course, with a first listen putting it probably at two stars. However, the more I listen to it, the more jokes you pick up on, and the funnier and better it becomes.
This soundtrack has a little bit of everything, and while others say that, this really isn't that much of an exaggeration. Impersonations (Joan Rivers, Jodie Foster, Judy Garland, Ellen DeGeneres, to name a few), a career review (basically any Martin Short character you can remember), and parodies of other musicals (Wicked, Dreamgirls, Company, and Jesus Christ Superstar I remember mentions of off the top of my head), and jokes galore (puns to celebrity jokes to an inappropriate, but hilarious, Noah joke).
Now, this soundtrack isn't perfect. Its very choppy and frankly after the portions involving his wife it goes downhill and gets a little wacky, even more so than in the beginning.
Still, its worth listening to. Its got a lot of witty exchanges and will be very enjoyable for a while. I'm a little worried as to how this will age (Britney Spears jokes, Fidel Castro on his deathbed, and a few others), but rather than worry about what I'm going to think about it in five or ten years, I'm simply going to enjoy it now.
