Repo!

Gentlemen. (Um... Hello once more!) So I was kinda wondering whether anyone else has also seen Repo! The Genetic Opera already? It's relevant because Anthony Head got a lead role. And is it just me or are musicals getting more numerous in movie and TV/short episode (Dr. Horrible!) form? Anyways, the...
