Knowing I'll never hear the threepenny revival cast again still makes me sad.

I'll add the new Les Mis cast, word is they wont record them, pity.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Follies
Inner City
Chess

DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES.

I'm tired of everybody putting this thing down because it closed and didn't follow "TANZ" closely enough.

I liked it and I regret that there isn't an official cast album of it!

I agree with Threepenny Opera revival (loved pretty much EVERY member of that cast) as well as Lennon, would also like:

Putting it Together (with Carol Burnett and George Hearn)
Lestat (I know, I know, but still)
Concert version of Snoopy (The one Sutton did a few years ago)
The Broadway's Best concert thing Bravo aired a couple years ago.

THE RED SHOES(1993), Jule Styne's last musical.The extended ballet with music by Styne (not an arranger) was in the repertory of the New York City Ballet.The show wasn't very good, but a CD would be a posthumous tribute to Jule Styne who worked on the show for many years.The overture was classic Styne.
