Maybe it'd be better on stage, but this recording was awkward at best and insufferable at worst. It's like it's amateur dramatics that universal studios suddenly decided to film one day.
On top of that, I can't tell if it's meant to be a 'laugh out loud' comedy or a spoof or what. This is filmed in front of a fake audience, but they don't seem to react to what's actually going on. What are assumedly jokes land in silence at times, and then they are in hysterics at seemingly unfunny things. It feels like it was made to make fun of the British for the Americans; I honestly can't figure out why else this was made.
Thankfully there's one good song about pigs at the end, but otherwise this is a real stinker of a musical. Certainly bottom of the pile of the Andrew Lloyd Webber repertoire...
