Simply brilliant. Steinman's compositions always had a whiff of the Wagnerian to them, this one being no exception, and are all thus utterly appropriate to the study of despotism.
While Bonnie's Evita is a truly bravissima turn, who knows what dictatorial heights (or depths) might have been reached by song's original intended singer, Meat Loaf himself. I envision more balcony scenes and no running scenes.
Oh, and the "alternate lyrics" had us falling out of our chairs.
