Your Own Thing - A hip and happenin' re-working of The Bard's 12th Night. It played the Orpheum in the East Village and the show was recorded by RCA. It did make it to CD but now that's even out of print.

The Pirate Queen & Spring Awakening.

KIDDING. I don't know.

I think The Prince of Central Park looked kind of interesting.

my voice teacher mentioned it and i've never heard of it... and i pride myself on knowing a great share of obsure musicals.

There is a cast album of it (Juno) but I think it is long out of print

How about Bocaccio 70 ?

Some of Welcome to the Club is on the Lostt in Boston Series. There is a song by Sally Mayes called "In the Name of Love" which is terrific.

Deena,
"In The Name Of Love" is one of my fave songs. Ever! Sally just knocks that one out of the park!

I have said it a couple of times in the past, but I love my favorite Mormon Musical (okay ONLY Mormon Musical) "I, Nephi".

Hehe. Seriously was rather catchy in parts.

They ended up making a movie out the Prince of Central Park that I recently saw on cable. It had the two deepest female voiced actresses in it....
Kathleen Turner and Cathy Moriarty.
I actually kind of liked it but was trying to figure out where they music would come in other then the fact that the kid likes to play keyboard.

Anybody ever heard of this little show called Wicked? And there was this thing called Rent...weird title.
Anyway, Bring Back Birdie, anyone?

"Anya". Odd, but strangely hauting in spots.
"Flora, the Red Menace"_ you may not consider it obscure, but the history of MT books sure do!

I actually saw ANGEL in its out of town tryout - in a dinner theater in Glen Cove, Long Island! I was in high school and was invited to go with my friend and his parents. I don't remember much about it except Frances Sternhagen played the mother.

BY THE BEAUTIFUL SEA, a vehicle for Shirley Booth in the mid-50's.

I saw Angel & it really was not bad. The same team wrote Comin' Uptown - botth trashed by the critics

I do not think they eve wrote again for the stage

Oh man, I love obscure musicals, 'cause I managed to see so many that you guys would never have heard of...

DUDE -- from much of the same team as HAIR and the first big time "environmental" musical. I forget which theatre it was, but they ripped out the interior and made it this pre-CANDIDE "road" musical.

HER FIRST ROMAN -- a musical version of Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra. I think it closed at intermission.

CRY FOR US ALL -- based on Hogan's Goat. Great, great score. Terrible, terrible book. Big, clunky Howard Bay set that *never* worked right.

YOUR OWN THING is actually going through a bit of a renaissance, showing up at a lot in the community and small regional theatre circuit.

To Sean Martin

Dude - The Broadway theater was ripped up for it. After HAIR, Macdermot & company were given the keys to the store & let DUDE & Via Galactica loose. I saw Via & it was a real dog

Roman - I saw it & liked it . I love the score especially "ROME"

Cry - I saw it & still have the LP. It was a dreary idea that never should have seen the light of day

Your Own Thing - Never saw it

Bright Lights, Big City

I will personally come after the next person who says Spring Awakening

I gotta agree with Mr Roxy - DUDE isn't really that obscure, at least to the flopaholics on the board.
