Rock Opera Returns!
Jim Berrier | San Antonio | 03/28/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Selfish Giant is a rock opera based on the classic children's story by Oscar Wilde.

From the creative minds behind: "Agapeland", "Music Machine", and other hall of fame children's musicals, this one is great for all age groups, and beliefs. The music is excellent, and the story wonderful. Reminiscent of "Tommy", "Superstar", "Ogden's Nutgone", and others.

The music is inspired, with hints of: The Hollies, Beach Boys, The Who, and Alan Parsons.

The classic rock opera is back, and it's return is welcome."
