Posted: 2/21/05 at 3:23pmI saw this already on footlight.com I was going to buy it but then I realized that no one actually sang anything from Phantom. I was sad...

Posted: 2/21/05 at 4:02pmI wish I had seen bounce, but I loved him in POTO and I treasure my Kiss of the Spiderwoman CD.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 4:12pmNo, they weren't very good. I don't think people really got it, which is pretty typical with Sondheim. It usually takes people a while to get into his stuff.

I played the sound clips and liked most of them. --Didn't care much for Kevn Gray's "My Time To Shine." What is that from?
Odd choice for the Michael Crawford selection. "Charley" is from an early show of his that ran, I think, only a few weeks.
