Daddy Warbucks, that 54 Below concert mentioned by tazber was (I believe) the one recorded for Ahrens and Flaherty's new 'Nice Fighting You' CD. I believe the album songs 'Ballerina' and 'Dancing Still' are from Little Dancer. 'Nice Fighting You' iTunes samples
Of course, when I clicked on the first link..it notes Rebecca, Tiler and Boyd Gaines. I am pretty sure I looked there before and didn't see any specific names. So either they updated the page that is linked.....or I am having a brain melt down/senior moment. Either way is entirely possible.
Just received this in the mail from the Kennedy Center:
Inside is a whole bunch of information about the work of art itself/a small summary of what the musical is going to be about with some GORGEOUS artwork. Not sure how to post multiple images, but if anybody wants I can take pictures of the inside of the pamphlet. Each page contains a sentence from lyrics from I'm guessing the show.
Here are some samples: "If I'd never been a dancer, if I'd never seen the artist, if I'd only walked away… But life turns upon a moment like a dancer on her toe shoes…" from the song, "C'est le Ballet".
"Who's always prancing like a pony doing fancy tricks? Who's dancing in a line along with lunatics? Who never gets a break? Always has an ache? Who yearns for steak? Who's always fitting like a gnat, never getting fat? A rat!" from the song, "A Rat".
"The cocky nose, the awkward stance. But then, this transformation when she starts to dance. Such a distance in between a thousand little dancers and Marie" from the song, "In Between".
"Well, if you want it then you can have it. Uncork the bottle and out it pours. Yes, if you're willing Oh, what a thrilling world is yours!" from the song, "Little Opportunities"
'She is up to here with hope and fear and youthful do or die, and no wonder why, looking back at myself, I see her concentration, her fierce desire to shine!" from the song, "Looking Back at Myself".
