LRF is crack. Complete and utter crack. The best track is totally Marat splashing around in his bath and convincing Charlotte Corday to get naked with him. The best song is Marie Antoinette the night before her execution, but she has no character development other than that song.

I love it to death, but it's not a real musical, despite the Charles/Isabelle love story; they exist mostly to attempt to tie all the crack together as far as I can figure out. Also, one needs a high tolerance for cheesy 70s music, as there is no way in hell "Chouans, en avant" should have become any sort of hit. It's more of a cracktastic concept album that I cannot imagine getting staged with any sort of reasonable flow between scenes.
