Product description

TEN COMMANDMENTS - THE MUSICAL

Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for Adam! He's in this throughout--that's worth five stars!
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2009

Adam sings the best song, "Is Anybody Listening?" Even the New York times, reviewing the Los Angeles production in 2004, pointed him out as the best singer in the show and didn't even mention anyone else but Val Kilmer. (I checked it out online.) Adam has a few solo lines in other songs, but "Is Anybody Listening?" is all his. Adam is fun to watch (duh!) and appears throughout. The other singers are generally very good (some better than others). Val Kilmer doesn't actually sing much; his default mode is that song-speech that Rex Harrison popularized in "My Fair Lady." Kilmer is best (singing and acting) in the scene with his brother the pharaoh, asking him to let his people go. That song/scene starts off strong and he sounds pretty good. Overall, Kilmer isn't bad, but on film you can plainly see that he is too old and too out of shape to play this part. The insurmountable problem with this show is that, with two or three exceptions, most of the music is not very good. Then too, the author of the book doesn't know how to tell a story, doesn't have any sense of drama, draws out a good story and makes it a bit boring, and doesn't understand that theatrical economy requires that one does not start with Moses' birth. The show wants to be like Jesus Christ Superstar, but did JC Superstar start with the Jesus' birth and grind slowly forward? No. It began shortly before Jesus' death. JC Superstar also put the story on a human scale and the Ten Commandments doesn't do that. It sometimes seems like it was written by a 10 year old (Moses and the Pharaoh reconcile at the end! Everybody's together! Everybody's happy!). Other than Adam, there are some nice moments: The Pharaoh's wife (Nefertiti!) has some very nice moments, particularly after her son dies in the last plague, and Moses' adoptive mother and wife are also good. But towards the end, it starts to seem a little silly, because the music and the book are just not written well. But, hey, the DVD's only $6.99. Well worth it for Adam. I bought it and am happy I did. On the DVD are are extras: Behind the Scenes (Adam speaks!) and a lengthy Picture Gallery (slide show, really), which begins accompanied to the complete track of "Is Anyone Listening" and, when that's over, with snippets of other songs for the rest of the slide show. Even in 2006, the producers knew who was the best singer in the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eleventh Commandment: Thou Shalt Love This Musical! I Do!
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2008

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 Ipale as Seti, Nicholas Rodriguez as Aaron, and Adam Lambert as Joshua.

Val Kilmer sings beautifully and soulfully in this production as do the rest of the cast. I love how the whole ensemble come together at the end to sing "A Prayer For Life". I also love Val's "Key To The Kingdom", Lauren Kennedy's scorching "Could You Do That For Me", and Val and Lauren's tender "A Love That Never Was". Also awesome are Val's and Kevin Earley's magnificently forceful battle of wills played out in song ("Glory Of Ra/Let My People Go") as well as their earlier more friendly song banter to "When We Rule The World" in which Lauren also performs a segment of.

More beauty comes from Nita Whitaker's soulful realisation that Val is indeed "The One". However, the icing on this already delectable cake comes in the form of a hauntingly beautiful song called "Where We Belong" performed by Nita Whitaker, Luba Mason, and Michelle Pereira. It truly is divine.

The message of the show is all about universal love and acceptance of all types of people - it is neither overtly preachy nor disrespectful to the source material, and is very inspiring.

Two slight criticisms. There is no real introduction to any of the characters and audiences are assumed to know who is who. Also, if you can ignore the fact that Alisan Porter (Miriam) in reality is considerably younger than Val Kilmer, and yet plays his *older* sister in the show - remember, when Val was playing Jim Morrison in "The Doors", Alisan had only a few years earlier played little "Curly Sue" in the movie by that name - you will enjoy the music and the performances.

Cheers, Michael

4.0 out of 5 stars Breaking the Commandments

I was longing for a chance to see The Ten Commandments when the musical played in LA, but was not in the area. When the DVD version came out I jumped at a chance to purchase it, esp at this low price.

It is a spectacle musical, lots of contemporarily influenced choreography, scenic is well done, although they have applied effects that I am sure were not in the production, to enhance the DVD. Performances were done well too, and this was way before the Adam Lambert / American Idol craze.

Additionally at the end of the DVD the extras provide insight to the overall development of the production.

Certainly glad that I bought this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shame this Musical never lasted

I discovered this musical by chance having searched for Adam Lambert on itunes! What a wonderful musical, and so wonderfully cast. There is not a single weak person. With Val Kilmer (surprisingly) taking the lead role as Moses, right down to the ensemble, they are all so convincing and energetic.

The story is actually the story of Moses from birth up until the giving of the 10 commandents, rather than of the 10 Commandments.It is based on the love and conflict between the two brothers, Rameses and Moses. The music is spectacular. Adam Lambert's solo as Joshua is perhaps the best known since his advent on American Idol. A great song wonderfully sung.

The biggest surprise is Val Kilmer. I have long admired him as an actor, but didn't realise his vocal prowess, despite knowing he sang all the songs in The Doors. Although not the strongest singer on the dvd,(the others are all professional singers) he is really good, and just right for the role.

The final song, Prayer For Life is so moving. I watch this dvd repeatedly. It is so inspiring and uplifting.
