Anyone think $100.00 is worth spending for this? I was sorely disappointed that the Broadway cast was not recorded, and I've been waiting for SOMEONE to record it. But $100.00? I'm not so sure.

I was so happy when I saw the title of your post. But the content is a little disappointed. $100 for 47 min CD without original cast. Mmm, I have to pass.

But they are non-profit so it would be a tax write-off.

It's really a shame that the original never got recorded. I would love to hear those folks sing these songs I've never heard. That's why it's never done, is that no one wants to take a chance on a show they've never heard.

If you wouldn't pay $100.00 to see the show. (I saw it for free) I can't imagine why you would pay that much for the recording.

The score isn't THAT great or THAT interesting.

I don't know why they're making such a big deal out of a show that no one knows.
