Balla, I love your passion for the show, hopefully ONE day you are gonna "git" to be Audrey II...I like the cd recording much more than I did the actual production and with the bonus music I'm in heaven. You know it's funny the more I know about this current version the more I connect my problems with it to Jerry Zaks direction. In the Times piece earlier this week, he said something that had me kicking my desk and yelling at my assistants(nah, I treat them nice!)..he said, "First off I changed Seymour to be a bit handsome so you could understand how Audrey could be attracted to him." WHAT?!?!..isn't that the whole nature of the show, that a lowly and outcast nebbish must do something way beyond the norm and downright awful to win his beloved's affection? If he was attractive to begin with let's say just goodnight and I'll meet you at the local saloon. Ok, enough ranting, all in all a happy da ythat you've gottten a cast recording you like...and if you ever get a chance listen to the "italian" show cd, very funny and wonderfully sung!
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene
