Since I’m on my own kick of relistening to the music of a local rock opera from my hometown trying to get to Broadway, and read your entire commentary on the music of the poto movie, I’m curious what your opinion of my rock opera would be. Deep Love: A Ghostly Rock Opera’s plot is a young woman named Constance is a widow to a man named Old Bones and gets in a relationship with a young man named Friedrich, both unaware that Old Bones has come back from the grave as a ghost and is furious Constance is, from his perspective, breaking her wedding vows because and I quote from the song deep love (the second track) “what use are such vows if they aren’t held well beyond the grave?”

The Spotify but you can find it on band camp and iTunes. Personally I think the guitars sometimes drown out the voices and it can be hard to hear when the four characters in the opera are singing over each other. However my favorite tracks are“the great ghostly pickle” and “the chant of the dead”
Ooh, cool! Thanks for recommending it!
The good: the singers sound pretty good and I like the songs.
The not-so-good: I agree the guitars are too loud. Also, I think the score relies too much on guitars and would sound better with other instruments. Or maybe it would sound better with non-electric guitars?
The audience is also too loud; in "Keep My Hand Above You" they almost drown out Constance's first lines.
Overall I like it and I hope it gets to Broadway!
