Incredible. Their 'Our Children' is so moving. To me, Michael Rupert can do no wrong and Miss Murney sounds simply beautiful. And the special bonus of 'Back to Before'. Astonishing.
I agree, I loved her FALSETTOS, but then saw her in BLOOD BROTHERS when Petula Clark and The Cassidy's came in and you are right, she pretty much walked through the role. And FALSETTOS is the most amazing musical I ever saw! William Finn is a Theater God!
I never met him either, I would probably just stand there and not be able to speak. But, a friend worked with his partner, who was such a sweetheart, and gave me a CD of SWEET CHARITY which I had been after and as a bonus surprise the CD of MAIL. He used to work at Footlight part-time but I don't know if he's there now it's an online store.
Bobby, don't know if you are in NYC, but if you ever get a chance to meet Mr. Rupert or his partner, they are pretty good about giving fans stuff. I got a MAIL and a SWEET CHARITY (this was when it was out-of-print) from his partner.
Just got back from my own All-Male Thanksgiving. Alas, I didn't meet my "Arthur", but had fun anyway. Thanks for the link. Can listen to him sing day and night. Love the track with him and Carolee too. That production of Baby was divine!
Waitress, Sorry I didn't get a chance to see MAIL on Broadway, I was lucky enough to get a recording of it and the then out of print SWEET CHARITY from Mr. Rupert's partner. It's a fun pop score and had a bunch of great people including Brian Stokes Mitchell, Michelle Pawk, Mary Bond Davis, Robert Mandan and B.D. Wong.
