Posted: 7/29/06 at 8:47amWhat a great production. If you haven't seen it, get the DVD. We watched this a few nights ago and I thought it was great the way Lonny Price kept so much of the comedy intact. The show has such great pathos in it also. And the performances are wonderful.

Posted: 7/29/06 at 10:35amMy God, I love this production. In all fairness, this is my first Candide, but I think it's the one I'm gonna stick with. It's hilarious.

I have this DVD also -- it's incredible. The whole thing is absolutely hilarious.
I got a fairly cheap copy used on Amazon

Oh, a CD would've been awesome! I could've tortured all of my opera/musicals/theatre-in-general hating friends!
I can watch it on my iPod (so I guess I can listen to it that way) but it eats the battery so that's no good!

This is a great production. LuPone is outstanding as always. I bought multiple copies to give to my broadway fan friends as gifts.
Maybe we will get a recording one day...

Posted: 7/29/06 at 8:19pmCheno's "Glitter and Be Gay" is absoultely AMAZING and so effortless for her. It shows what a wonderful singer she really is--with a great range!!

I love my DVD so much, that when my computer broke and the DVD was stuck in it, I pried the drive open with a screwdriver and got it out.
I don't recommend doing THAT, but the show is amahzing!

Posted: 7/29/06 at 9:53pmIt's too bad they couldn't also release this on CD, but I still need to get the DVD...ah, if only money grew on trees.

Posted: 7/29/06 at 10:06pmKristin Chenoweth performs my favorite rendition of Glitter and Be Gay. Many people feel that no one can beat Barbra Cook's difinitive version, but Chenoweth excels!

Posted: 7/29/06 at 11:04pmi don't like b. cooks glitter an be gay at all, actually. She's too breathy and slow.

In her defense, she isn't "slow," the orchastrations are different.
The version we see as the concert is a blend of several previous productions: the original, the revival with Sondheim lyrics etc.
