Well, not to this specific show itself.

I created it when joinging THE ORDER OF DRACULA forums (before BWW).

It's "Bram Stoker on Broadway"

I mean, sure there WAS the play and all - but, ya get it...


Actually, I do have a question for Jeremy re: THE MASTER'S SONG.

I happen to love the new orchestrations for this song. Is the HIGH note (not sure what it is) still there at the end of the song?

Jeremy, finally! Thank you for coming here and giving us official information. I've been spreading the info about GlobalVision on this site alone and it's nice to finally have you here.

Thank you (well, you like 30 seconds of it!)

It's not really the same song as bway -- we combined the main song with the so-called "reprise" and made it its own thing. Euan brought his take on the character and it wasn't about high notes...

Remember the phrase from the 1992 US presidential election, "it's the economy stupid"? -- well, we have a sign on the wall of our studio: "tell the story, stupid" -- and that's what it's about. What story are we telling, is it interesting, and is it dramatic?

We don't worry too much about any one note, because in my opinion, none of them matter if the story is being told well...

Sorry to stray...

Ha! S'ok. So it sounds like the demo song (with William Youmans).

I was just wondering. That note always gave me chills. Plus, it was nerve-racking wondering if Don would hit the note. Which he didn't always.

Oh, and how much of the Vampire "vocalizing" is included on the recording? I loved those bits.

Sorry for all the questions. I need to feed my excitement somehow!

No, not at all. we totally re-conceived it for the concept recording. It is a brand new concept, brand new way to tell the story, based on Euan's read on the character.

Patience.... blink and it will be April 4 and the music will reveal all, and you can beat me and the project up all you want. Until then, words are cheap, and I have to finish mixing the Jekyll album!

So I have a question.. or two.
Is the J&H: Resurrection CD another name for the Concert album that was going to be released or is there no Concert album anymore?
Also, who will be singing on the Resurrection album?

Wow, I said album a lot :P

There never was a "concert" album... we went through a bunch of names and tried to tie-in to the current "in concert" tour -- but it just didn't hold up. Our record is related to the concert tour, in that the stars of the tour are also on the album (ok, I just leaked it) - but since we re-arranged, re-orchestrated, and re-conceived the enitre score, sure, in concept there may eb some similarities, but in the biggest of pictures, it's its own thing... we struggled with the name issue -- is it a live recording? is it the same as the tour? -- the answers are no, and no, so we had to find another name...

"Resurrection" has a goth rock flavor to it, and since we're bringing it back... we found that we liked the new name for the project, and it clarified what it is -- ok, since we leaked the project late last year, some people heard the old name and like you, are rightfully confused. Hopefully, over the next few weeks, once the audio clips surface, it will be VERY clear what this recording is and isn't. Thanks for your interest.
