Title: A pitiful excuse of an opera.
Product review: Quality was definitely not Repo!'s strong point. Although it sets the stage of being a very interesting story, it falls short with shallow characters and very poorly written songs. Apparently Repo! tries to be "cool" and current with today's "rock" generation, but it falls prey to being so "cool" that it becomes shallow instead. The level of acting couldn't be any lower, every character's difference is only tied to his or her background, which is not enough to make you feel attached to them, especially in an opera or musical. Character development is important in musicals and operas, and Repo! has none of this whatsoever. Scenery is pretty bad to say the least, it looks like someone just filmed it on an abandoned house they found, so I would say its step above YouTube quality.There are many more worthy operas out there that are much better than Repo! It may seem like a "hip" opera for our generation, but don't fall prey to it, its an opera without soul.
