Pacific Overtures- true brilliance, but only in small doses
"Picture "The View," with the wisecracking, sympathetic sweethearts of that ABC television show replaced by a panel of embittered, suffering or enraged Arab women" -the Times review of Black Eyed
I totally agree with Hairspray. I can only listen to it once in a while.
"This table, he is over one hundred years old. If I could, I would take an old gramophone needle and run it along the surface of the wood. To hear the music of the voices. All that was said." - Doug Wright, I Am My Own Wife
even though HAIRSPRAY is one of my favorite shows, I also have to agree that I do get a bit tired of it after "Run and Tell That" usually... also PHANTOM OF THE OPERA gets a bit boring...
one of the only CDs I can really listen the whole way through is SWEET CHARITY weirdly enough...
I spent my junior high school years listening to "Les Mis" nonstop. Since then, I just can't bare to listen to it anymore, even though I'm now an adult and out of college. I swear, I must have that entire score memorized (as do many people on this board I'm sure!).
Even though it's my favorite musical, "Nine" (revival) can get annoying.
"Chicago is it's own incredible theater town right there smack down in the middle of the heartland. What a great city! I can see why Oprah likes to live there!" - Dee Hoty :-D
