Monday 16 December at Symphony Space. Alongside Jordan Donica, the cast includes Jin Ha, Taylor Iman Jones, Alysha Umphress, Kelvin Moon Loh, Chuck Cooper and more. Anyone here going?

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):
