Posted: 5/15/05 at 9:52pmIt's wonderful. There are two versions out. One is a "best loved hits" version, the other the complete play on 2 CDs. I recommend the later.

Posted: 5/15/05 at 11:55pmThe best IMHO is the out of print London cast recording with Ken Page, Ruthie Henshall and Frances Ruffelle on it. It's wonderful but it's a hard costly find now. If it's ever re-issued try to pick up a copy of this version too. It also has my all time favorite Stephen Schwartz song "A World Without You" which has a totally different melody on the US cast recording version. If I were ever to meet him I'd be curious as to why he wasn't happy with the first rendition which I find so much better.

Posted: 5/16/05 at 11:29amI love that recording. "Lost in the wilderness" and "Stranger to the Rain" are amazing songs. And woo Hunter Foster:)
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

Posted: 5/16/05 at 1:45pmDemitri - I am meeting Stephen Schwartz next Monday evening, May 23. Want me to ask him for you? Really? It would beat the stammering and stuttering I was planning on doing.

Posted: 5/16/05 at 4:00pmAw Bluemoon...I'd love for you to. In fact I'll rip you the two different versions if you like so you'll be familiar with both. Just pm me your e-mail address and I'll send them to you. Thanks!

Posted: 5/16/05 at 4:03pmI really dislike this show. I guess I'm in the minority on this one.

Posted: 5/16/05 at 4:48pmI think the Highlights Recording is sufficient unless you really like all the incidental music.

Posted: 5/16/05 at 4:50pmThanks Demitri, but I already own both! I love both versions, but am slighter more partial to the second, revised recording only because it was the first one I heard. I'll ask him about it, though (if I don't throw up on him first).
