Long Forgotton Flops — Page 2

Amazed that someone else on earth actually knows what "More Than You Deserve" is! "Go, Go, Go Guerillas" musically reappears as "The Joker's Song" in the unproduced "Batman" musical Steinman did with Ives. "Come with me..." is the main theme that reappears in "Tanz der Vampire", the true version and not "Dance of the Vampires". But that is Jim's favourite chord progression which also appears in at least 5 other songs he's composed. There's a lot of music in that score he hasn't reused.

Another "lost" Steinman score is "The Confidence Man" musical with Ray Fox. That's my favourite show Jim's ever been involved with. As a matter of fact, you can now read Ray's highly interesting blog @ http://sonofthecucumberking.blogspot.com

It's well worth checking out.

There's actually a movie version of DON'T PLAY US CHEAP, isn't there?

^ You beat me to Dr. Jazz. Best flop ever. (Next to Lestat, of course!)

I remember seeing at least two that stick in my mind.

I'm Solomon with Dick Shawn, ran a few days from Apri 23 to April 27 1968.

Onward Victoria with Jill Eikenberry open and closed on the same night, Dec 14 1980.

I'm proud to say I worked on two of the biggest: "Dance A Little Closer", and "The Little Prince And The Aviator"

Prymate!

And High Fidelity...which I admittedly love.
