I just discovered it. (Early Christmas gift to myself)

Some gr8 stuff there. Did anyone here see it live? I'm just curious if there was any dialogue or was it pretty much a song cycle like the CD jacket says.

I think it's just concert style, right? I'm so pissed cause I lost my Cd. It's so good. I really would love the sheet music if anyone has it.

I saw it, many times. There was no dialogue. Just a beautiful, simple set with a big bed, a door, three musicians in white pyjamas and eighteen different lighting fixtures which set the mood for each song. The lighting design was exceptional. Michael Winther wore a blue T-shirt and blue pyjama bottoms, and moved around the set barefoot. It wasn't strictly a concert, as Michael moved around the set a lot barefoot and acted and mimed along with several songs. For instance, in "Dinner Party" he was a bored guest, in "I Want To Go Out Tonight", he danced atop the bed while it was wheeled around the set with disco lights twinkling along its sides, and "Perfect, Finite", a single, bare bulb sympolized an open apartment window while he sung while looking wistfully at it.
It may not sound like much but it was totally captivating. And during "the Night You Decided To Stay", I cried like a freakin' infant - everytime.

Since the show is made up of songs written by an assortment of writers, why don't you try contacting specifically the writers who composed/wrote the song/s you are interested in? Some writers have been known to send music of their songs on request or let others know how to get the music when contacted. This approach might not work, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I would really really really love some music from this show, i have been searching for quite some time, if anyone could help me!?xx

You're not the only one Jwaa. I've also wanted the score to this for some time. I was very fortunate to see this in its run at NYTW, and was blown away.

Anyone out there?

I just noticed this posting. I'm the publisher for this piece, and the piano/vocal score is available for purchase from our website www.billholabmusic.com

This is not an unusual fee for a full score. I was not able to see this show but was fortunate enough to receive a copy of the CD from a friend. The music is funny, poignant and moving. I have not listened to the CD in some time nor have I posted on BWW for some time. This thread has prompted me to look for the CD and listen to the music again and to share my appreciation for the music with the rest of you.

I thought it was just vocal selections. If it is a FULL score, that price makes more sense. I really wish a vocal selections book would come out.
