Posted: 1/15/06 at 7:38pmI saw PREPPIES at the Promenade.It was a pretty toothless satire.It did have a few nice songs . One , was the opening number "People Like Us" it had lyrics like....... People like us never need to be told savoir faire and a tan get you by........"Summertime " was another pretty song.But it wasn't much of a show. If you're looking for obscure musicals how about "One Night Stand" the Jule Styne musical that , I believe ,had one preview and closed.

Posted: 1/15/06 at 8:23pmBlood Brothers isn't unknown! It's one of the biggest shows on the West End (has been running 17 years) and the most successful britsh musical (although I think Billy Elliot will soon take over) and there have been productions of it world wide! definately not 'unknown'!

Posted: 1/15/06 at 9:30pmDUDE....some people know it, but i'd definitely say it's more on the unknown side.

"good person of schezuan"
This is a quite famous Brecht play (first known as The Good Woman of...) that many people have adapted. It is more of a play with music.

Some of the musicals that I have, that many may not know about are: Grail, the musical; Temp Slave, the musical; Lunch, the studio cast recording with Carol Burnett, Davis Gaines, Mellissa Manchester, Faith Prince, Brian Stokes Mitchell and many more. I also have Golf, the musical;FreeWay Dreams (a L.A based musical); Gunmetal Blues; and Stepping Out, the musical. I collect rare musicals that people never hear of.

Evangeline. But its a local musical. It was written by one of my teacher's and was preformed at our city theater last year. Maybe one day people will know it =D
This is a really old website for it that hasn't been updated since 2000 I think.

Zombie Prom has a cult following. Little known yet known.
You want an unknown? Read my musical.

Posted: 1/15/06 at 10:45pmThere was a musical version of PORTRAIT OF JENNIE that ran at The Henry Street Settlement in the early 1980's. It Starred a very talented actress named Donna Bullock. I don't even know if it's ever been published. I loved it and couldn't believe it never went anywhere. There was a also a musical entitled SHELTER that ran in 1972 by Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford. I thought it was terrific too and had a brief run on Broadway. It starred Marcia Rodd (who got a Tony nomination), Terry Kiser, Susan Browning and Joanna Merlin. I believe a CD was recorded years later with a new cast.

Posted: 1/15/06 at 10:49pmThe Wicked joke wasn't funny the first time someone took a stab at it. Just saying.
