Posted: 3/7/07 at 11:38amYour 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.

There is a cast album of it (Juno) but I think it is long out of print
How about Bocaccio 70 ?

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.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

"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.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

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

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