After an incredibly rough day, it was great to come home and listen to the album.

An incredibly accurate and well produced representation of a subpar show. Just goes to show it wasn't the music and cast.

So I'm better off with the soundtrack? I didn't see the show (though I would have loved to). What, exactly, (if you don't mind my asking) was sub-par about the show... and so wonderful about the songs? How does something like that happen?

Can't wait to get my hands on it!

I expect it in the mail tomorrow or Friday...

(Now, as for "bare"... *shifty eyes*)

I concur...as much as I wanted to love the show...

It was still an incredibly enjoyable experience though.
The direction was messy and the book left some to be desired for, but I thought it was a pretty decent show. To me, it felt like a great out-of-town try-out. It was just too raw for Broadway.
Even so, the performances alone made it one hell of a show.
Should be getting my CD on the mail tomorrow and then I can listen to Murphy's "Surabaya Johnny" over and over and over again.
I'm quite interested to see how they recorded the "Alabama Song" sequence.

The performances did indeed make the show. I still remember Judy Blazer in one of the "trailer park" scenes. She had no lines but she was the most amazing actor on stage. She was just washing the darn thing, but she was so focused. And of course Donna Murphy whose wonderfullness I shan't even get into here. Really, there wasn't really one one actor that I didn't quite enjoy, but the whole cast was really quite terrific.

everyone seemed to have a problem with the lighting and the fact that Lotta took 10 minutes to put makeup on her face near the end. personally, i loved the 1st act a LOT and the 2nd act, not so much.

They recorded the whole Alabama Song sequence - people auditioning, and then Lenya. And the reprise is as it was on stage.

Got mine yesterday as well and listened to it this morning! Fantastic! Really, it is and only made me realize how much i miss that show and had hoped it would have stuck around for a lot longer than it did. I know it wasnt your typical Broadway fare - but this show just did it for me and made me smile the 3 times I saw it. To have Donna and Michael and the entire Company (David Pittu and John Sherer sound great here too) on CD sounding this good is a great credit to everyone involved making this happen. A huge Thank You!

There are no lyrics listed, but the reading and stuff listed in the booklet adds even more to this extremely interesting work of art.

Just curious -- does anyone know how the cd was shipped? Was it USPO or UPS? I was hoping that since it was shipped on Monday, I'd get it today -- no such luck.

Thanks.

Mine was shipped USPS. I ordered it last Monday afternoon and got it yesterday. Granted I live in New York.

it's USPS First Class Mail.

and i enjoy the CD as well. i find that there's some problems with the songs sort of cutting off and the editing isn't the best but i suppose this was used to conserve the space on the CD.

Donna and Michael sound wonderful though!
