Ok next question...
If you were to introduce LaChiusa to someone who's never heard his music, which musical would you show them first? (assume that the person IS a musical theatre fan)
In other words, list his musicals in order of the most accessible
My list would be:
Wild Party
See What I Wanna See
Marie Christine
Bernarda Alba
First Lady Suite
Hello, Again
Anyone disagree?

I'd love to hear or see a recording of Audra's Seven Deadly Sins concert.
Is there a cd or dvd out?

Clicquot- That's a great analysis. I doubt I would have ever picked up some of those things if you hadn't brought it up.
BSoBW2- Never heard of "Lover's and Friends," but I'd love to check it out. Tell us about it.
Can I also gush for a minute about Barnarda Alba? I read the play after listening to it, and I gotta say, he did an incredible job illuminating it. He took Lorca's most beautiful lines and made them so personal and haunting. "One Moorish Girl" is truly terrifying...

I agree with completely with gust. It seems to me, when I listen to a LaChiusa piece, that every other line in a song has a message or idea that I have time to digest for about two seconds before I'm distracted with another point that he brings up.
For instance, here's a few lines from "People Like Us" from Wild Party:
People like us, we slip by through the cracks,
We'll never be famous so who's gonna care?
Nobody needs us and everyone's had his way

To be honest, I don't know what the requirements for the Pulizer are. We all know that musicals can and have been given the Prize, but I don't know any details.
Anyone have any clues?

Ditto what everyone said. Stunning show.
What I don't understand is why, since there was not a Pulizer Prize given to a play this year, it wasn't given to this show?! I truly think it deserved it in every way.

Oh.
My.
God.
I JUST finished listening to the cd for the first time.
If you haven't heard it yet or seen the show, get the cd NOW. This is a show for artists of any kind. The songs are SO funny and intimate and personal... I really can't say enough about it. I'm so blown away, I'm not even coherent.
To the writers of this show: THANK YOU for writing such an amazing work.
Oooook rant over.
Just had to get that out of me.

Jane Eyre
I went through this HUGE obsession back in high school and even though I know that its music isn't up-to-par, I will always love this show.

This show was probably my biggest obession a few years back. The lyrics are sometimes a bit shaky but I will always be very fond of this show.
Its basically the reason I survived high school. lol

re: iPod vs. CD

Both
However, I've been buying more and more albums on iTunes recently. I don't want to pay 20 bucks for a cd when I can get TWO albums for the same price. iTunes and my wallet are real good friends.
This sounds really dumb but I also like the idea that I don't have to search store to store to find what I want. With iTunes, I don't even have to leave my room to get new cds.
That said, I would rather have the hard copy. One day when I'm really rich I'll get the hard c

I got to meet her after seeing her in Doubt. She was so gracious and kind. I was so star struck though, I couldn't do much besides drool.
It is my firm belief that if Christ does have a bloodline that continues on today- the the Da Vinci Code says- OBVIOUSLY Cherry Jones is one of those decendents...
