The original cast were brilliant,  we saw the 30th anniversary show, and the  supposedly farewell tour at Sheffield Arena.  The changes over the years have not impressed me.

It was very good.

 

I still prefer headphones, closed eyes, and build a mental picture of the story, while listening to the original album. Never gets old! (IMO)

 

I'm sure some will enjoy this version. Not for me though.

Agreed,  I have it on vinyl and three different versions on CD.
