My love for it started I believe it was last March when I saw the LC concert? After that I bought the cd and loved it so much. I was so disappointed I had only taped the last hour of the concert, but had yet to discover the DVD that was just definitive of what this show was. Oh so good, I'm actually listening now to the sequence explaining Fosca's past. This is a show where I find the score, book, and performances in top notch. I can't even find a weak point in this show. One of Sondheims best and one of my favorite musicals

"I Love Fosca!" (extended version NO ONE HAS EVER LOVED ME) is like heaven. Especially sung by Jere Shea.

That show has GREAT music. My personal favorite is "I Read."

I didn't like the show or the score that much when I saw it on Broadway - it was bland and woodenly acted - the same with the TV version which just seemed to have all life sucked out of it.

I got into the score through, of all things, Terry Trotter's jazz version and then later the London stage version which I found much better acted - even Michael Ball, who I'm not all that fond of - and realized (although I could have done without the intermission. It's now a firm favourite.

I remember when I first saw the dvd in my dorm room on my little laptop... I don't think I breathed at all during the last half hour of the show.

The show is just divine and Donna Murphy is transcendent.
