The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Rael's sex fail in "Counting Out Time".
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Pretty much the whole album, which is especially noteworthy as it's over 90 minutes long.
  • Epic Riff: Mostly on keyboards, see "In The Cage", "The Raven" and "Riding the Scree".
  • Freud Was Right: The Slippermen, and Doktor Dyper's "cure" for same.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The Lamia, The Slippermen, and Doktor Dyper.
    • "The Waiting Room". OMG.
  • Special Effects Failure: In an interview, Collins mentioned the various technical and costume failures made the show unintentionally hilarious and the reason the Broadway show had a short run time. He also expressed irritation that half the time, Gabriel's costumes interfered with his singing.
    • Tony Banks is on record as saying that he doesn't think there was a single show where everything worked correctly.
  • True Art Is Incomprehensible: The story is pretty much unfilmable.
