From the official web site, some outrageous hype:
Jeff Wayne's musical adaptation of H. G. Wells' classic novel
/The War Of The Worlds/ is the best known and best selling
musical work of all time.
s/"musical work"/"musical adaptation of sf novel" :)
Of course, that's until the music hall revue style Startide Rising,
featuring the classic numbers "Swimming in a metal sea", "Sometimes
it seems like the whole universe is out to get us" and "My what big
teeth you have (for a dolphin)".
Take THAT, Wolfie! Eat THAT, Herr Beethoven! Smoke THIS one, Mr. Bach!
*g*
Take That? ;) Oh, I see what you mean...
Better selling than Bat Out Of Hell, even? Maybe, probably not. But
well loved.
