Robert Lopez (2) (1975–)

I got to see this musical on its national tour. It was an amazing show, although I spent some time blushing. I was as shocked as the Mormon missionaries at the meaning of Hasa Diga Eebowai! I knew I had to get the CD when I got home.

Of the songs included, I loved Hello for the wordplay within it. The kindness in I Am Here for You overrides the humor. Making Things up Again makes me giggle as Arnold takes the Holy Word and adds fiction. "Up again making things you are" says the Wizened Old Jedi Master. (And yes, I laughed out loud.) Tomorrow is a Latter Day brought both tears and laughter. "Thank you God! Ma ho nei bu, Eebowai!"

I would advise getting the CD over the MP3 version. While the synopsis and lyrics are available online, the gorgeous photography is not. I will also note that this recording is definitely NOT workplace safe. Nor is it for the easily offended.

Recommended for listeners who have either seen the play and enjoyed it or for those who are willing to listen to the message that God doesn't want us to hurt one another; rather, we should love one another.… (plus d'informations)

Long ago I went to to see this show on tour. I bought the CD and loved it. It rode with me in the car as I traveled. When I moved, it got lost in the shuffle, When I found it, it would no longer play. So I have replaced it.

Are all the songs safe for work? Absolutely not. Are they funny? Yes. Do they have some uncomfortable points that are true? Absolutely. For this mixture of qualities, I still love this musical.

My favorite songs tend to be the ones that are uplifting, sweet, or a bit sad. So from this I would pick Purpose, Mix Tape, There's a Fine Fine Line, and For Now.

I'd suggest this for people who have seen the show or want to.… (plus d'informations)
