I enjoyed it, but couldn’t help but notice and be annoyed at how totally it failed the Bechdel test.

True but the Eliza epilogue is redemptive there, no? 

As for catchy showtunes, well, it is hip hop.  I've never found hip hop that catchy. They aren't really songs in the traditional sense. It's too hard to remember all those damn lyrics. I remember certain lyric lines, like 'Wu Tang Clan ain't nuthin to f with' but I don't really 'sing' those to myself, more drop them like I'd drop lines from a movie. That being said, I'm not a huge hip hop fan. I have certain hip hop acts that I enjoy - Wu of course, Cypress Hill, and this - but that's about it. 

Note - the original King was played by the leader of the rival Vocal Adrenaline in Glee.
