I am discovering my love for a new love for Mary Testa after buying and listening to "See What I Wanna See". I had always known her from "Forum" and "42nd Street", but I want some more of her! Is she on this recording? I didn't see her name on amazon?

No. She was a part of the Transport Group production in 2004 (which was not recorded), though.
But YAY for the Mary Testa love. Check out William Finn's Infinite Joy CD. Mary sings "All Fall Down" (from Romance in Hard Times/America Kicks Up Its Heels) and "Set Those Sails" (from In Trousers).

Thanks! BTW, I already have "Infinite Joy", which is what really started my love for her! Also, Liz Callaway singing "Sailing"!

Infinite Joy is one of my absolute favorite CDs. There are so many great performances. I shill it wherever possible
We obviously share the same taste in music! As I can tell by your Eva Cassidy icon! IMO, her "Fields of Gold" is one of the most beautiful songs to be recorded I have ever heard!
She is on the Marie Christine CD.
I just got that one, though not just for her. I also have "A New Brain."
She's also in the most recent recording of Lucky Stiff.
She also has two great songs from "The Ziegfeld Follies of 1936."
And the OOBC of "In Trousers"
I love Mary Testa also. Definitely get the Broadway Unplugged CD (the first one) for her hilarious rendition of "Hard Hearted Hannah."
