Posted: 9/1/05 at 2:14pmI just got my tickets for Woman in White. I am really excited about this show. I read the book many years ago. The music is by Andrew Lloyed Webber.

Have you heard the cast recording, BroadwayLady?
Or would you rather wait to see the show first

Posted: 9/2/05 at 9:28amI got the last 2 seats in Row M mezz for the first preview and am so excited. I have listened to teh cast recording, but haven't really like sat down and listened to it you know. Like I played the CD, but wasn't really concentrating on listening. Anyways, do you think I should listen to it before (i.e.- does it have spoilers?) or wait until I see the show?

Yes, the cast album has major plot spoilers, but on the other hand, it's not a score that hits you the moment you hear it and needs repeated listenings to really appreciate. Go see the show, then listen to the CD a few times (even if you don't initially like it) and it may grow on you

Posted: 9/2/05 at 11:46amI've had the same experience, Eastwickian. I wasn't immediately taken wtih the CD, but after several listenings, I heard all sorts of nuances that I'd missed the first few times. Now it's a new favorite. You're right about the spoiler effect, though. Still, the secret of the show is not the secret of the novel, as I recall. I found all the performances quite engaging, though I thought Angela Christian's Ann is a bit strident. But then, as she's playing Ann Cathrick, it might be intentional.
