RE: Can I call ya?

My Dad and a couple of friends have been to see the live show just about every year now. Sam and I were meant to go as well, but y'know. Back in 2009 we actually met Jeff Wayne at a big sci-fi do at Birmingham's NEC.
The main problem now is it'll take me about a week to get the music out of my head. I used to play the album over and over, and now I've got it installed indelibly in my brain.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Maybe I'll go this year, or whenever the next show is. If I can work up the enthusiasm that is.
Apparently Richard Burton's great in it.

Is that like Graham Chapman appearing in the next Python movie as an urn with his face on it?

I've not seen it, but apparently they've got a giant blank face thing onto which they project a 3D CGI animation of his face. This is from 2006; the technology's improved over the years as well, so I gather:
