... an all time classic for sure.

I have also had the pleasure of seeing "Return to the Forbidden Planet" three times. Sung and acted by an energetic group of young musicians, each of whom can play at least 6 different instruments (at different times, obviously!) complete with Shakespearian phrases (mostly from the Tempest on which it is based). Well worth seeing if you ever get a chance or listening to the CD which is still available I think.

Alas: I always end up falling for the robot as he is so essential to the whole thing and is a real heart breaker ;-)
