Whaddya know, it's GROUNDHOG DAY!
Feb 2 2018, 12:36:50 PM
I thought it would be appropriate to make a little appreciation post for GROUNDHOG DAY on Groundhog Day itself. What a show! Why it received a bad wrap, I'll never understand. GROUNDHOG DAY didn't try to be more than it was, and it had no pretensions of what it was not - but what it was was meaningful (to me and many others).
It was my favorite show of last season. I love what Tim Minchin was able to do and say with this score - not t

Whatever happened to this? I know a lot of people, myself included, would be ALL OVER this.

Malloythere! said: "There's this tiny, unknown musical about the American revolution and its founding fathers that really doesn't get the buzz it deserves."

I thought it'd be nice to create a thread that just gushes about lesser-known shows I positively adore. These deserve FAR more credit, imo.
FUGITIVE SONGS - Miller and Tysen's song cycle that preceded TUCK EVERLASTING. Absolutely gorgeous score!! Features 19 songs documenting a group of runaways' trek across America. The studio cast album features the likes of Gavin Creel, Karen Olivo, Barrett Wilbert Weed, Matt

Next Musical based on a movie?

I've always wanted to see The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson adapted for the stage - although, some of its more outdated moments are problematic (namely, Jolson's performance in blackface).

Favorite Overture(s)?

The Man of La Mancha OBCR overture absolutely floored me the first time I heard it. I literally had to stop for a second and take it in. Hoooooly crap.
The Thoroughly Modern Millie overture comes in second for me. Such a great, upbeat, and oh-so-roaring-20's intro.

The Definitive Cast Album Thread
Sep 25 2017, 09:27:38 AM
Although the 2006 revival certainly puts up a fight, I feel that the definitive version of Company is easily the OBC. ESPECIALLY after seeing the incredible making-of documentary, Original Cast Album: Company.
