Spitfire Grill the Musical Question

Broadway World Radio always plays songs from "The Spitfire Grill the Musical", and I love them. I went on Amazon.com, and the cast album is out of print. They don't even have an image for it. Where can I get my hands on a copy? And when did this show play? I don't remember it.

Try Footlight Records at www.footlight.com. If they don't have, chances are no one will.

No matches found. I guess I'm doomed.

Try the Playwrights Horizons Website. That's were I purchased mine back in 2002. They produced the CD and released it themselves. It wasn't available for retail sale in stores.

Wouldn't ya know? I went into the Playwrights Horizons store, and it was the first thing that popped up. I've already ordered it through Tower Records, though.

Make sure it is the cast recording and not the movie soundtrack.

I did. They had them listed as two separate items.

I've never seen a production of the show, but would love to. It's a great listen, though. Steve Pasquale sounds terrific on it. Somebody needs to make that guy a star!

Steve Pasquale is great. I loved him as Robbie Fay in "A Man of No Importance". Has anyone seen him since he took over the role of Tom in "Fat Pig"? Is he good? I've never seen him in a straight play before.

^^ The only thing I've actually seen him in was as Chris in a Miss Saigon tour years ago in SF. I've seen the show 4 times, and listed to various cast recordings. He was easily the best Chris I've seen or heard. I made sure to keep him on my "radar" since then.

He's also on the Denis Leary show "Rescue Me", but the theatre is his real home.

If you're near Connecticut, The Spirit of Broadway Theater in Norwich, CT is doing THE SPITFIRE GRILL this season. Check it out!

Unfortunately, I did see a production of this show - it's horrendous.

Perhaps that particular production was horrendous, but The Spirit of Broadway Theater's production won't be.

Garrett Long is absolutely perfect in the role of Percy Talbot - she has an amazing voice and her acting is wonderful - I was lucky enough to see her in the NY production and having worked with her in the past - I was interested to see her do something of this magnitude, and believe me - she didn't dissappoint - just wonderful!

Isn't Garrett Long your drag name, redhot?

I just saw a regional production in Jackson, Mississippi a few months ago. Very funny and warm.

Steven Pasquale is a hoot on "Rescue Me" and VERY easy on the eyes. And don't forget Daniel Sunjata is on that show, too.
