I completely agree. These songs are examples of poetic world building, so fully realized in the arrangements, we're transported.

I am having a ‘Kate Baldwin singing Ribbons Down my Back’ experience with “The Predatory Wasp…”. This was a song that I skipped on the original album but I can’t stop playing this version.

I just came home from seeing the matinee and saw this! The music was simply glorious, and I'm excited that it'll be out so soon!

Kate Baldwin was the first time I ever didn’t hate that song

I’m not someone who normally notices orchestrations but this one was one while watching I was like this has to win orchestrations

I can't wait to hear this album!!

A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

With CD sales on the decline, I'm guessing there isn't as many manufacturing plants.

im not nearly as enamored with Stereophonic as everyone else is….like I think it’s a good play but I don’t think it’s the earth shattering score/orchestrations winning piece everyone else thinks it is
