It's not a fun show to be in as there is so little to get your teeth into. It's no worse than many shows of its ilk but as stated the book is a mess. The songs are pretty weak but have the odd nice moment. As stated earlier they never quite take off.

Well, at least we know the search function is working.

It appears this conversation ended in 05, but since I wasn't around then I'd like to add that Australian singer David Campbell does a great job with "The Kid Inside" on one of his early albums.

I saw the show on Broadway, thought it didn't work, but had a pleasant evening nonetheless. I remember PATENT LEATHER SHOES being funnier, but HIGH SCHOOL having more heart.

Opening Doors put on a production of this show a few years ago and it was not on of their better efforts, but then again it's not a very good show.

There's nothing to it, and despite having a pleasant song or two I found the whole thing to be forgettable. The only song I listen to on the OBCR is "Beer."

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

LOL. I didn't see the original date on the thread at first. When someone bumped it, it stayed near the top on my front page for awhile.
