Yes I saw Return to the Forbidden Planet and thoroughly enjoyed it, none of the songs are original though and the story is lifted from a shakesperean play ( I can't remember the name at the mo' ). The same bloke did From A Jack To a King ( same kind of idea as RTTFP ) a sort of rock and roll Macbeth. Again the songs were not original ( although they changed the lyrics where appropriate in some cases ). Still a good night out.

The Sound of Music thing started off in London as a gay thing and many people don't seem to want to get involved because of the connotations. Also, it simply dosen't offer the same feeling of being risque. There's also the point that the Sound of Music thing is done to the film, whereas the RHS is usually a live performance.
