What's your favorite show that you only know through a cast album? Was it performed before you moved to the city, or closed prematurely? Was it mounted before you were born? Mine:
"My Life with Albertine": I don't know why I never got to this, but I didn't see it. Today, the cast album is in constant rotation in my CD player.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

Some people analyze every detail/
Some people stall when they can't see the trail/
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail/
But I keep rollin' on/
Some people can't get success with their art/
Some people never feel love in their heart/
Some people can't tell the two things apart/
But I keep rollin' on

Posted: 1/22/05 at 9:11pmAvenue Q, Wicked, and Hairspray. I love the book "Wicked" and the movie "Hairspray," but I have yet to see them on stage. As for Avenue Q, my puritanical parents will never let me see it anyway.

Kate Music, are you referring to the 2000 revival?
Be glad you didn't see it. It was dreadful.
Even Maya Days, usually splendid, couldn't save it!

Cabaret. Sadly, my Broadway obsession *yes I am a late bloomer, leave me alone okay 
* began AFTER Cabaret had closed. However the music, the darkness, the loneliness really gets to me! Now all I have to do is wait 10 years for the revival of the revival (...is that even possible??)
