CAROLINE OR CHANGE Cast Recording — Page 2

Okay listen up about CIVIL WAR. Most poeple do not understand it. It is NOT a show. It is NOT a musical. I never worked because people were expecting it to be a musical is it was not. I quote Frank WIlhorn. It is a "concept concert" for the theatre with no book and simply a tapestry of various documents, events, letters, and passions of the war through pop music. That is all. As far as music, CIVIL WAR is an extremely outstanding score but that it pretty much it. The idea is for people to enjoy the music and make their own images in their head about that time in our history. Country pop with a CIVIL WAR background is a clever idea and works but not as a stage show. Buy the cd. Enjoy it and you can become passionate about it and that is all you can do. It's not a broadway cd. It's an ALBUM.

I know everyone does not like that kind of music but for what it is, its outstanding.

Its probably one of the top cast recordings I bought this season.

since when do the topics on this forum ever match the thread title completely?

I have not seen CHANGING CAROLINE, but I do not like it so far. I will see it anyway because of Capthia Jenkins and see what I think.

As long as we're back to THE CIVIL WAR again let me say that as far as music CIVIL WAR is beyond so many shows like this but only in the way of music. As far as book and performances, CHANGING CAROLINE is probably beyond CIVIL WAR.

hahahah good one!
