I hope so too. I've been out of the loop for a while, was there even a cast recording made?

Sadly I'm out of town for the final performances, I'm hoping I can see it somehow! Will it be at LCL?

I saw it two nights ago. I used to watch that movie everyday, and I have a real soft-spot for this show. I didn't hate this production, but it needs some work.
I agree with a lot of what's been said..
The GOOD - the 3 witches are fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed all three of them and wanted to see more. The tinman is a wonderful wonderful part of the show; the dancers are great. I liked the lion, I didn't have a problem with the scarecrow, he had a lot of funny moments.

YES. (and as someone else said, make a day of it! Even if you don't, I still think it's worth it)

Yea, cutting the afro was a huge mistake; and I also was really bothered that they cut her huge monologue on why she wanted to be a doctor. I agree that taking so many moments out of the house (*especially* when the money is lost), was a mistake.
But as I said before, this piece is just so powerful... even with some bad cuts, bad camera angles, bad underscoring, and a miscast Walter... I still enjoyed it  .
Now that's good writing. (and acting, for the most part)

The end of this play (/movie) is so beautiful. It gets me every time. I really enjoyed it over-all, but I do wish that a few things hadn't been cut out. O well.
Brava to the women!

That last scene made combs ok for me. But honestly I'm still greatly bothered that this opportunity was given to him when there are so many black actors who would kill for this.
The underscoring has been really distracting, and the editing over-all has bothering me a lot. A lot of important moments have been rushed.

I think someone said that a dvd will be released. And I wouldn't be surprised if ABC re-airs it.

Yes. I haven't seen the show but I'm a big fan of the music. I'm also a fan of Farah Alvin, she's fantastic.

There's the film adaptation of "A Raisin in the Sun" in a few weeks, but I'm not sure of any other shows that are being broadcast.

HBC's singing was distracting.
Alan Rickman was fantastic, these are the roles he's made for.
I was delightfully surprised with Depp's vocal abilities.
Overall I enjoyed the film.

You're right, B3TA07, technically two of my examples are dialogue. Please forgive me for any trauma or chaos that resulted from my inaccuracy.

Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright... cause I only have eyes for you (can this count?)
HERE SHE IS BOYS - HERE SHE IS WOLRD.... HERE'S ROSE!!!!
Is it really me?
Daddy always said that he married beneath him.
... I'm not that smart.
In the mists of this nothing, this mess of a life, still there's this wanting just to see you go by.
Daddy played paino, played it very well.
