Anyone else as excited about this as I am?

To finally see The Monroviad performed live. What an incredible piece, overall.

I would be if I knew where and when it was being performed?!

The Kent Nagano recording is stunning although not quite in the regular Broadway league.

Excited is hardly the word! Can't wait to see someone tackle "Duet for One" live in the flesh.

The show is presenting in a one-night only concert on 3/31 by the Collegiate Chorale at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Dwayne Croft and Emily Pulley are playing the President and First Lady. They will be accompanied by the Orchestra of St. Luke's.

Thanks for posting. Being in the UK I don't think I'll be able to get myself organised in time, which is a shame because it is an awesome (and I don't use that word lightly) score. I'm surprised it isn't generating more interest on this board.
