What is your favorite recording of this FABULOUS show? Mine is the 1996 London Cast Recording. And please, if you do not like it, don't post.

What did I do wrong? David Cassidy did do a role in the play. I never saw it ..he was in it during the 70's 80's I was not born yet in the 70's I was born in 81 so I never saw it. Is it comeing to My city at all ? I'd like to see it. Peace dude.

maybe it was a play with a different title. but if it had THAT title, then it was a musical. the musical came out around '71-'72

tFAN, I am not shouting or criticizing you or anything. This is all innocent I promise. I was just saying that it is a great show and everyone should see it. That is all. I love everyone on this board and will not start something unless it is called for it.

All these newbies. All this wimpy flaming. My head is spinning. I'm confused. I heart you, Spider('s woman - dammit, I'm a straight lady! I am!).

Hard to say which recording's my favorite, but I tell ya, the current tour, with Eric Kunze and the late Carl Anderson, was phenom. The singing, acting, everything rocked. It's one of the only ALW musicals I truly love.

I also love the Australian recording. It is so fun. And JCS is ALW's masterpiece. Hands down. Then POTO, then EVITA, then SONG AND DANCE (with Marti Webb)

Agreed w/ POTO and to an extent Evita. It's his 3rd best, but a distance third after POTO. I've never heard Song & Dance before. And Joseph... and Cats were just...words need not explain.

(PS. There's an Aussie CR?)

96 London soundtrack is the best.

Movie soundtrack is the worst.

This is ALW's masterpiece but THEN comes Starlight, Whistle, Evita.

I doubt anyone will say the movie is better than the recent video.

Posted: 8/20/04 at 12:41am

I haven't seen the new DVD but I've heard the CD and I'm not a big fan. Too...over-produced, if that makes sense. I enjoyed the movie soundtrack much more. (Carl Anderson, people!) And Ted Neely's Gesthemane (sp?) gets me every time.

Edited to ask: Did anyone see Sebastian Bach as Jesus on tour?

Type_A, have you ever heard Steve Balsamo from the 1996 cast sing "Gethsemane?" OMG. That is the best version EVER
