That is amazing. I'm definitely going to try to go to this, considering my love for Michael John LaChiusa is quickly escalating.

I hope Ghostlight jumps on this. Seems they've been recording a lot of his stuff latly. I would think a concert would be easier to record.

A Concert's much harder. I'm not holding my breath for that. I think it would be wonderful, but unlikely. You'd have to get everyone paid to record it (or at least sign the release), then it's a matter of paying someone to record it, then paying someone to schlep all that recording equipment for a live recording, then the editing etc. Trust me it's much easier to record it in a studio.

Really? I guess it seems easier logistically because everyone's already there and you don't have to get them into the booths, you can just record it.

Yeah, I know it won't be recorded, but it would be nice. It's LaChiusa's only unrecorded score. It's a shame though, and with an amazing cast.

There's plenty of shows of his that haven't been recorded. I'd love to hear his Opera he did for Chicago. I'd really love to hear Audra's piece. THAT sounded great. I'd really like to hear Lucky Nurse and the other pieces. There's plenty of unrecorded LaChiusa...hm I'm going to make a recording and a cabaret act.

LaChuisa is a great composer. His work is so deep, I loved Bernarda, I can't wait for that cd.

Basically, the main character Charlotte decides to quit smoking in the wake of 9/11, and then searches for a new way to define herself.

Akiva...I know the gist of is a woman trying to quit smoking but it's definitley way more than that because it's LaChuisa...btw when does Bernada Alba come out? AHH soo much Michael John....gustof's a happy guy!

Yes, I saw it at Second Stage. It's good but a minor LaChiusa work. The cast was exquisite though: JLT, Lea DeLaria, Hugh Panaro, etc. were all terrific.

I already have tickets for the concert; really looking forward to it.
