Recently, I have been completely intrigued by the Original Broadway Cast Recording of this musical: King of Hearts. However, the liner notes provide only a bit of information. (And ibdb has been down for days- anyone know what's up with that??) So, did anybody get to see this show at the Minskoff? Anyone know anything about it?

(I love that Don Scardino- Director of Lennon- plays the lead, and Pamela Blair and Millicent Martin are also in it!)

I saw one of the few performances of this show which is based on the movie of the same name. It was pretty bad and closed pretty soon after it opened.

It was not good-some pretty tunes.... but the sets were incredible- still have memories of the asylum set- all those beds stacked up helter skelter to the top of the proscemium and the roof top scene-

Wow. Yes the score definitely has some wonderful songs in it. Could you (lucky) people who saw it describe more about the physical production? Or maybe what you thought was bad about the show? How were the performers? Does anyone else think it has obvious similarities to Anyone Can Whistle?
