Hey, so I was wondering - since I'm in a shadow cast of Rocky this weekend, I naturally researched Rocky a little bit and discovered the screenplay for another full-length sequel 'O Brien wrote himself, "Revenge Of The Old Queen".
I know there's one demo that's leaked onto the internets, but I was wondering if there were other recordings that were available to listen to as well.

Several of the songs were used in "Shock Treatment," I believe.
ETA - Scratch that. I'm thinking of something else.

Posted: 10/29/11 at 6:50pmA friend of mine *made* other demos, working with O'Brien off and on over the years. I don't know that she has copies or that they are available anywhere. I'll ask.

Jennifer Holliday would be so proud of you!

Sean, my memory was faulty. My friend (singer/actress Michelle Holmes) played Janet in a series of live, backer's audition-type performances for the sequel in the 1990s. (That's interesting because she sounds nothing like Susan Sarandon. Michelle is the lead singer of the band, Crazy Aunt Mary, and, while she sings many styles, she is a fabulous belter. Not that Sarandon would have necessarily done the sequel anyway, but I find it interesting they were using such a different type of voice for the auditions.)
I asked and Michelle said she made no recordings and doesn't know what, if any, demos were recorded.
Again, I apologize if I got anyone's hopes up.
