Marvelously harrowing. Last Rights has the voyeuristic magnetism of a horror film. You know it'll deliver a backhanded slap of terror, violence and shock, but you can't help looking. The album's first planned video, "Killing Game," culminates in two alien characters--whose veins are on the outside of their bodies and whose eyes are sewn shut--ripping each other's eyes open...

...choreography hitched to a slow narrative, obvious jokes, completely undefined characters and mediocre performances -- than for its shameless retrospection, its bland assertion that Broadway's future lies in its past. The second act contains two gratuitous slurs on the "concept" musicals that have dominated the past decade: a visual slap at Grand Hotel and a verbal slam toward Les Miserables. Yet those shows have precisely what Crazy for You so painfully lacks: propulsive storytelling, cinematically fluid staging, emotionally powerful character songs, and a sense that something urgent and meaningful is at stake...
