Thanks Wanna Be A Foster! I've never really heard a coherent story as to what happened, so comming from a relibale source, I'm gald I finally know!
We get Broadway shows that are restaging of pop tunes and run by HUGE theater conglomerates, yet an original and touching work is ignored by the people who could make it happen. Gotta give credit to the fanbase, because Bare seems to have disappeared completely, and they have kept the hope and bootlegs alive!
Like TheActr97J said, It WOULD be a real shame if this piece was lost entirely.
Damon is a really nice guy. I met him after a performance of BARE after we had been e-mailing each other for a few months. Such ashame this show didn't make it. I have often wondered why the backer backed out. It was a hot ticket while it was playing. I know someone in the business who couldn't even pull strings to see it in New York and lucked out when A friend invited him because he had an extra ticket.

Keep your ear to the ground. I hear that the rights will soon be available for licensing. Great news!
boxboynyc- You're kidding right?

Infighting and lack of agreement on a final product is why this show will never see the light of day again. Plus Damon has said that it's an old chapter in his life and he has moved on.

Not a great show--judging by the demo--but something about it really sticks with me too. I got the demo as a bonus when buying another cd from Shh-Khmm-Ba records (however you spell that)--I hope if the rights have been pulled back that means they're sitll trying to work on something with it
