I really regret not getting to see this, but I really enjoy the score.

I donated.
Finally, a kickstarter campaign I can get behind. Although, I do love the second demo recording. There are other shows that don't even have as good of a demo.

Saw the first preview at York Theater. Amazing show. Not sure how much it has changed over the years. But I may have to contribute to this. Love the show.

Wasn't David Cromer supposed to do a revised version of this?

@Dollypop- Yes, he was involved in a few workshops when it was eyeing a Broadway transfer. The Zellniks re-wrote a lot, and most actors (I think everyone but Bobby and Tally) were re-cast. Once Broadway wasn't happening, the writers reverted to the York script/cast/production, which was directed by Igor Goldin.

wow! this show has been around FOREVER! good luck to them, and good for them for staying with it.
Growl, your post be gone!
Wow. How on earth did that happen?
Anyway, I was just bumping this for anyone who missed it.
There are two weeks remaining to donate!
There's a week left to donate!
If/When things are solidified, Jonathan Tunick (!) will orchestrate.

They need roughly $10,000 in 8 days? I dunno...

My friend was asking me the other day on why a company like PS Classics is holding a Kickstarter campaign to fund a cast album? He asked this a legit company that can produce the money themselves, why will I donate money to a CD recording when the profits come in, it will all go to PC Classics?
I'm skeptical they will get the $$$ now :-/. But they have engaged so much publicity/logistics over this it almost sounds like it is happening anyway. I wonder if someone will 'donate' the rest of the money so they can still take in the $$$$ anyway. I will be a bit annoyed if they do this because it goes against the spirit of Kickstarter.
