This musical is a bit of a mixed bag, as it covers a large variety of musical styles and even portrays the Pharoah as a pre-incarnation of Elvis. It is more like an operetta in script style, as there is virtually no dialogue.

The songs from this show, in general, do not make good audition pieces as they do not make sense when used out of context.
