Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)'Shockheaded Peter' is one of those delightful theatrical experiences which you literally want to take home and play over and over again, and the soundtrack to this macabre thespian jewel is about as close as you're ever going to get. Vocalist Martyn Jacques' perfectly-controlled falsetto voice borders on the edge of freakish, and accompanied by the sadistically amusing lyrics, and the bizarre orchestrations, The Tiger Lillies create the sinister and yet extremely hilarious atmosphere which is half of the show's success. The tunes are catchy if not always easy on the ear, but Jacque's remarkable crescendos more than make up for it. Along with the carnival-like accordion, the occasional drum solo and the oh-so-macabre hum of the cellist, 'Shockheaded Peter' is a marvellous creation of very dark musical satire. A word of warning, though- don't play it near the cat.
