Unexpected Songs: The Lesser Known Tunes of ALW - Feb. 21 - Cast Inside!

One of the largest complaints we got from folks in 2004 was not announcing our concerts early enough, so here's to more advance notice this year! We're kicking off the year with a big group concert on Monday night, February 21st at 7pm at Joe's Pub with a project that's near and dear to me, and that's (long name) "Unexpected Songs: The Lesser Known Tunes of Andrew Lloyd Webber."

Performers expected to appear include (alphabetically) Kristy Cates, Rob Evan, Eden Espinosa, Max von Essen, Jessica Grove, Tom Hewitt, Natalie Joy Johnson, Joe Machota, Tina Maddigan, Jeff McCarthy, Emily Skinner, Marty Thomas and more to be named shortly.

Click here if you want to purchase tickets early to what's going to be an incredible night of music featuring a couple of tunes from Woman in White, Whistle Down the Wind, Beautiful Game, some of the lesser known songs from his other shows, and a couple of even less known - but all great tunes. ALW's more prolific than many in the theater world give him credit for, come see why!

Wow! I really love Beautiful Game...can't wait to see who's going to be performing!

OMFG. Is this going to be taped? Please let this be taped. I want to go but can't. I HATE LIVING IN SC.

I wish I could be in NYC for this one.

I have seen almost all ALW musicals ( except for Jeeves and Woman in White). How about considering these songs --

*God's Own Country ( heart-rending song from THE BEAUTIFUL GAME, which must be the saddest musical I have ever seen)
*Half a Moment ( lovely one from JEEVES)
*Unsettled Scores ( powerhouse song from WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND)
*Anything But Lonely ( a diva song from ASPECTS OF LOVE)
*Seeing is Believing ( lovely duet from ASPECTS OF LOVE)
*Too Much In Love to Care ( another romantic duet, from SUNSET BOULEVARD)

and many, many more from ALW!

This should be a wonderful evening, many of the songs mentioned *might* just be part of the mix, plus lots of suprises.

And wait until you hear who shall be singing them, what glorious voices await!

Hope all of you can make it!

If its even still up for debate, please consider:
"There is more to Love" (ASPECTS)
"UNCOUPLED" (STARLIGHT)
"Only He" (from the original STARLIGHT)
"Amigos para siempre"
"Falling" (ASPECTS)
"Nothing Like You've Ever Known" (S&D)

wish i could be there. have a great concert!

"First Time"--Beautiful Game
"Tire Tracks and Broken Hearts"--Whistle Down the Wind
"Somewhere, Someplace, Sometime"--Tell Me on a Sunday (Revival Cast)
"Come Back With The Same Look In Your Eyes"--Tell Me On a Sunday

*gets on knees, clasps hands and pleads*

Please say the magic words "Patrick Wilson".

I Like "THe Heart is Slow to Learn" sung by kiri Te kanawa in one of the Lloyd Webber extravaganzas, the one with Glenn Close in full NOrma drag. I have never heard this song again and don/t know if it somehow made it into one of the later shows . . .

---

I love "Our Kind of Love." I thought "The Heart was Slow to Learn" was kind of blah! (Lyric wise) but I loved the music of it so I glad he did what he did.

The song "YOU MUST LOVE ME" was composed particularly for the film version of EVITA and won an Oscar but it is relatively unknown. I've heard Lea Salonga sing it in a concert here in Manila and it was beautiful.

Thanks JO for your input on the song!

Oooh, "Only He" from Starlight Express would be awesome! And anything from "Aspects of Love" would be nice to hear. I used to listen to that incessantly back in the day.

And am I the only person in the world that has no idea what "Beautiful Game" is? Yikes. :/
