bare The Complete Studio Recording — Page 23

OK, so I've listened to the CD a good number of times, and it's really starting to grow on me! I have a question though. Is this pretty much the entire show, dialog and all? I saw the production in New Jersey over the summer, but I can't remember!

Although I've yet to hear it, I am sure it is probly the whole show.

I'm pretty sure it is. There are long moments of dialogue that I am surprised were actually recorded.

Wait a few hours. They sent me my code. It didn't work and I waited. THEN it worked.

Still nothing

Ah! Now I'm paranoid and thinking maybe it's not my code?

For charging us FEDEX... Jesus himself better be delivering this package.

Heh. I live probably ten miles from where they sent them from, and mine went through Memphis as well--that's FedEx for ya.

I've yet to receive any sort of shipping confirmation and I bought mine within the first hour available. It's very frustrating, and I should not have to send a snippy email to the customer service in order to get mine shipped out. This is ridiculous.

I think just send another email. But I heard they will all be mailed by tomorrow. My code still doesn't work, so I've either got the wrong one or it'll be sent with the shipment tomorrow. ?

I just finished listening to the album for the very first time and am still shocked and appalled by how much I absolutely hated it! Not only did they make unnecessary and subpar lyrical changes, but changes were made to the story as well! The only thing that I enjoyed about this album was Matt Doyle. Even Jenna Leigh Green seemed off to me. Very, very disappointed.

For starters, they changed the dynamic of the Ivy/Jason relationship. I don't know if it was intended this way, but new dialogue seems to suggest that Ivy and Jason slept together at her birthday party. And then by the second act, they are seeing each other. And then they added a bit of song/dialogue between Nadia and Jason during "Promise" which completely detracts from Jason's feeling of helplessness and being alone. And the way the dialogue between Peter and Jason during "Two Households" was rewritten suggests that Peter has washed his hands of Jason completely which is then contradicted in the song "Bare." A few added words during "Queen Mab" makes it seem that Jason's death was accidental rather than suicide.

I guess having typed all that, it is nothing major, but enough to piss me off, coupled with awful new lyrics, and some performances which just did not work for me: Stephanie Anderson as Sister Chantelle, Keili Lefkovitz as Nadia, and Jenna Leigh Green as Ivy.
