The book is very much an equal collaboration between Neil Gaimen and Dave McKean and this was a very visual adaption. It opens with a nice riff on McKean's

i think the whole mutli-media approach was what made it a strong show for me. though as you say, the whole singing thing is just that little bit weird. the night i saw it was a saturday, and it was packed with kids.
