Probably my second favorite musical after Phantom of the Opera, Repo is an amazing piece of work. Created by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich and produced by the producers of Saw, you know you're in for a ride with this combination.
Yes, this musical is gory, but DAMN, the music and story are so good you don't even care. They even got an amazing cast for this movie, including: Orge from Skinny Puppy, Anthony Stewart Head and SARAH BRIGHTMAN. I seem to have a thing with musicals starring her...
But yeah, songs like "Legal Assassin" and "Chase the Morning" are just incredible. Found some youtube links:

Not only this amount of awesome in one movie, but we also get to see Paris Hiltons face fall off. I'll repeat that. Paris Hilton's face falls off. If that's not reason enough to see this movie, nothing is. I mean, hell, its the only reason most of us watched the House of Wax remake, to watch her get impaled by a metal rod.
Best character in this musical, Graverobber. Hands down. He is by far the coolest character in a musical. Ever. I think he even surpases Phantom for me. He only gets a couple songs, but man he's good. And he played by the guy who wrote the musical, so no wonder.
But yeah, go see this. ASAP. Its worth it.
