I believe MTI licenses this show, correct? Is it the exact script from the revival with Sarah Jessica Parker? Or is it the original with Carole Burnett?
In other words, which cast recording is most like the licensed script?
THANKS!
"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."

Rodgers and Hammerstein Theatricals licenses the show (it has both Mary Rodgers and Adam Guettel's works in its library).
And according to their website, the original cast recording is the one that is suggested as closest to the licensed material.
