It just came into my mind again as I played the demo.
Does it have a future?

I doubt it.

Is there a recording of this, or a website?

There's the demo recording, which was never sold commercially. The website has long expired.

The "infamous" cult demo.

So if you wanted to do say an amateur production or mount a full scale production who would you contact? how would you find out if you could?

I think the rights have been rescinded.

CPD is correct.

I miss Bare!
At least it had a run Off-Broadway, I would have hated to have seen it die in Los Angeles or Workshops.

It's unfortunate because it was so original and so touching. I've never left a theater with my heart actually hurting as I did after Bare; what an honest piece of theater.

Does anybody think (even though it lacks commerical appeal) if Bare would have stuck it out a bit it would have been successful and still alive?

COME BACK!

There never was a pop opera called Bare. It is just a figment of your collective imaginations, that has been blown out of proportion over time.

I thought the show was doing very well financially, but lost it's backing somehow...or did I dream that?

I liked it better then SPRONG AWAKENING.

A shame. I (also) much preferred this piece to "Spring Awakening". I say this because they both seem to be in like musical styles.

It ran for a month and a half limited engagement Off-Broadway at The American Theatre of Actors after a successful L.A. run, closed to prepare for a new open-ended Off-Broadway production at the (then new) Dodger (now New World) Stages, but one of the main investors backed out before it began performances and the creative team was unable to secure enough funding in the end to remount the production. Over time, there was talk that the show would be released for regional use, but the creators were unable to come to an adequate financial deal, and in the end the piece was sadly laid to rest.

I hate to threadjack, but NS - your signature is giving my computer grammar damage.

So does that mean the rights to this will never become available. It would be a real shame if this piece was lost entirely.
