I agree with you there.  I didn't see the show, but it put me off the 
soundtrack right away.  I'm so used to Roger's RnR style that it was pretty 
much annoying.  Maybe I should have played it a few more times, like Brian 
says, and maybe it would have grown on me, but I couldn't really get far 
enough to evaluate the new song and the ending because I didn't like the 
sound.  You've definitely got my vote to oversee it!

There have been some other RnR style shows that made it on Broadway, haven't 
there?  Any NYC Broadway fans here?  What was the one Pete liked so much 
last year?
