Magic meets TABOO

Posted: 11/18/04 at 9:09pm

...So on the reccomendation of several good people on this board, I went and bought the OBC of Taboo the other day. I have not been able to stop listening to the CD ever since! I think, so far, my favorite tracks are "Stranger in this world," "Safe in the city," (cause Sarah Uriarte Berry rocks!) and "Talk amongst yourselves." Did anyone here see the show when it was still gracing NYC, and was it as amazing as it seems like it would be? (I'm sure it was!) Thanks to everyone who reccomended it! :)~*

Oh there are several people on the board that saw Taboo and loved it. They'll chime in here real soon, I'm sure.

TABOO is SO great- I listened to it for months straight without touching another recording. It's so addicting, and it rocks! Glad you liked it!

What an amazing cast! I'm just blown away, and I haven't stopped listening to this recording for days. Discovering the wonder that is Euan Morton, and reestablishing my Esparzaholism. Amazing. Were vocal selections to this ever published?

"the wonder that is Euan Morton"

Oh yeah. I'm still recovering from his solo shows at the Zipper Theatre and the last one was days ago. Getting to hear Come On In From The Outside again Saturday night was heaven. Even if Euan had to do Raul's part, which was hysterical, by the way.

As far as I know the vocal selections weren't published.

However, WooHoo Taboo!! It's one of my all time favorites. I saw it 8 times and wish I could have seen it a million more.

And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Taboo is a pop theatre masterpiece. I especially love, in addition to the songs you metioned, Petrified, Il Adore, I See Through You and Sexual Confusion.

I think I need to hear about THIS!
What did he do?

When it got to Raul's part in the song he yelled out "I'll Be Raul!!" and then proceeded to do one of the funniest impressions I've ever heard. God bless you, Euan Morton.

Yeah, I would like to offically add Il Adore and Petrified to my favorites list. I can't get over Sarah Uriarte Berry. I only knew her as Eponine prior to this. And the Esparzaholism goes on and on.... I may as well just add the whole CD to my favorites list at this point. Wow, I wish I'd seen this.

I got my pictures back yesterday, and I took one that had to be the exact moment Euan started singing Raul's part. You can tell by the look on Euan's face that he's making his voice deeper. Jeffrey, Brooke, Denise and Cary are cracking up. I LOVE it!!

No. Raul was at Euan's Sunday show. This was the 11:00 Saturday night show. I zipped from Adam's show up to see the Tabooers. Great night!

Taboo was amazing! It's a crime that it closed. I was able to see it twice, including closing night. If you didn't see it, you missed something special. :)

I LOVE Taboo. Sarah Uriarte Berry does rock, along with the entire cast. Its a shame it closed so early

Does anyone else love "Guttersnipe?" That is the catchiest damn song! I have both the London and Broadway versions on my workout CD.
