Description:
Through the magic of musical theatre, one of the world's greatest stories has been reborn. With a stunning new vision, The Ten Commandments: The Musical brings to life the gripping tale of two brothers, Moses and Ramses. United by love, divided by destiny, they lead their two nations in an epic struggle between slavery and liberty. The Hebrews were slaves in Egypt 3,300 years ago. When Moses, a Hebrew baby raised as a brother to the Egyptian prince, learned of his true origins, he was thrust into a new life, leading his people to freedom. But liberty was not enough. To survive and thrive, they had to abide by the rules of their God, The Ten Commandments. The story that has inspired billions of people now becomes a call to the world for peace, love and brotherhood.

Val Kilmer stars as Moses in The Ten Commandments--The Musical, an almost entirely sung stage adaptation of the biblical book of Exodus, captured on video from a production in Los Angeles. This is one of those profoundly misconceived ideas that self-destructs before your very eyes: From the moment Moses' mother Yokebed places an obvious rubber doll into a video projection of flowing water, you know that every step of this production will fall laughably short of its ambitions. The score is like an interminable 1980s power ballad; the choreography amounts to little more than generic leaps and erotic floundering; the awkward lyrics include such gems as "Metaphysics and religion, philosophy and love/A prince has got to know some things about all of the above"; and the actors deliver the insanely exuberant performances that only come from musical theater kids who think they're finally getting their big break. The story's moments of spectacle--the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea--are depicted by cheesy computer graphics projected on a giant screen behind the stage. Kilmer (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang , Heat) is the only actor (aside from the French-accented Pharoah) with chest hair; was that in his contract, or was he too lazy to shave? Egyptian glitz and Jewish tatters are equally campy (just wait for the orgiastic Golden Calf scene!). This is for those who savor oblivious badness. --Bret Fetzer

First, I am a great fan and love love love recordings of stage musicals ON STAGE. It's the closest you can get to live theatre without being there.
With that in mind, I feel horrible for the talented performers who had some dreadful lyrics to make work. The production was 'over the top', and to the point that it was so bad it was good. My kids (13 and 17) treated it more like a comedy.
These kinds of recordings can and *do* work... for a great example see the newly ... Read More

I have become a huge fan of Val Kilmer's stage production of "The Ten Commandments: The Musical", a rock-opera performed entirely in song and dance which I have on DVD and LOVE. Val plays Moses, opposite four new favourite musicians of mine, including Lauren Kennedy playing Nefertari, Michelle Pereira playing Yokebed, Luba Mason playing Bithia, and Nita Whitaker playing Zipporah.
Also notable in the cast of this divine musical are Kevin Earley as Rameses, Alisan Porter as Miriam, Aharon ... Read More

Well, well - I reeeeally wanted to like this... but... Um - where to start?
The source material - GREAT - one fabulous tale direct from the Old Testament - and the epic Cecil B. DeMille movie of the same name is such a blast - so presentational in performance, you'd think Heston and Brynner were actually on stage, always staying open to the audience - loudly declaring their lines. Makes you think it might make a good stage play - or a musical! Why not? There's PRINCE OF EGYPT - beautifully ... Read More

This is a terrible show. The lyrics are childish, often repeating the same line many times in a row. The mikes curved around the actors faces are terribly distracting and more in keeping with a rock concert than a biblical musical. The sets are unattractive and boring. Val Kilmer is horribly miscast and UNattractive to the point of being unwatchable. He should NEVER have been shown without a shirt as a young Moses. He was obviously a 40 year + man! It was also obvious that by the time he got to the last ... Read More

I saw the live production in Hollywood. Great performances from supporting cast and I like the music as well. I'm a fan of Val Kilmer, but he is not that great singer and can't really share the same stage with others who are so good.
