Romance/Romance

I got the music to this show because you had said somehing about it. The music is absolutely beautiful. It's very lyrical, and it really just stays in your mind. I am actually surprised schools and community theatres don't do production upon production of this show. I think this is a very legit musical, but would be afraid to see it try to go up against the Mamma Mias, Lion Kings, Movin Outs, etc. on Broadway.
Who knows, maybe it would actually be a nice change.

I was a frequent visitor to Romance/Romance during its original run on Broadway. Alison Fraser was divine, in two roles that were tailor-made for her unique style and presence. The score is terrific, with the first act being sly and mostly humorous, and the second act more emotional and thrilling.

Sadly, it was Scott Bakula's last performance in a Broadway musical. Such an amazing talent, stolen away by Hollywood, never to return. Sigh.

I am a shill and will pump up R/R. What a beautiful and witty score. Such songs as "Not Too Late", "Rustic Country Inn", "The Night It Had To End", "Summer Share" and "Words He Doesn't Say" are gems.

Is there a recording of it out? I've never heard of this piece. I'd love to hear some music from it.

I've played pit piano for R/R in a college production. The music is very satisfying to play, especially the second "It's Not Too Late".
