This show doesn't get much attention these days, but I love the cast recording. If you enjoy Shaina Taub's recent 'Shakespeare in the Park' musicals, IMO this 1970s show is the OG version of that style (and I say that loving all of the above scores).
This intrigues me because I don't know the material at all. All I know is that it took home Tonys for best book and musical, edging out Follies.
^^ Alas, that is generally how this show is referenced these days, when it's brought up at all. But let's not hold that against it, lol.
A few of my favourite songs, if it helps (with Raul Julia singing on the second one):

Renee Elise Goldsberry made quite a name for herself in this show in 2005- she had a big number that had a "whoa who was that?" reaction, and I am pretty sure that preceded her turns in Color Purple and RENT. Its a fun show.
