"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 6/4/10 at 6:47pmYou could look into songs from "Just So" and "Honk," both by Stiles and Drewe. "Just So" is a collection of Kipling's stories, and "Honk" is about The Ugly Duckling.

Posted: 6/4/10 at 6:50pmIt never made Broadway, but Maltby/Shire's CLOSER THAN EVER features a great song called "The Bear, The Tiger..." that was cut from BABY. It's literally a list song about the mating habits of different animals and one of Maltby/Shire's most clever songs.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
