"High Spirits" - the musical version of Nowl Coward's "Blithe Spirit"... I guess it flopped, but the music in it is FABULOUS!

SFANW
Zanna Don't (I heard rumors of it coming to B'way this spring...anyone know anything?)
Hot Mikado- I've only met one other person who's heard of it, because they did it at her school. I think it's a GREAT show...why isn't it better known?

i saw blood brothers in london last year and loved it. it was such a great show. i also love the typicals, but im not gonna lie i laughed my arse off at "debbie does dallas" and "bat boy" is just fantastic. my favorite year is funn, we did it at my college my junior year...its a funn show! and my sophomore year of high school we did Kismet...i know odd for a high school, but our leads were just perfect. NOw that I come to think of it Kait Kerrigan was in that. she was marsinah!

anyways. just my 2 cents!

One of my favorite not-so-well-known musicals is

THE GOLDEN APPLE

Mack and Mabel just closed at the Goodspeed Opera House here in CT. The reviews I read were good and at least one article mentioned that there is talk of bringing it to NYC, off-Broadway probably.

A lot of good ones have been mentioned. I would add Valmouth and The Fix. Blood Brothers and Man of No Importance get heavy rotation in my cd player.

Of course, Wildcat, how could I forget....

LADY IN THE DARK

one of the most underappreciated, in my opinion, and one of the most musically sophisticated and witty of musicals.

Wasn't Glenn Close supposed to do a revival a few years ago?

Birds of Paradise(musical) and All In The Timing(Play)

What is Blood Brothers about? I was going to be in that, because a director I know said I would be perfect for it, but now we are going to do Guys And Dolls instead. So I'm just curious what it's all about?

I would say A Tale of Two Cities but anyone who has been on this board for any amount of time has not escaped my shilling for it.
outside this board, it is not well known. It will be though! OH YES IT WILL BE IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
