#50re: name a show no one knows
Posted: 11/2/05 at 4:57pmI cannot believe someone mentioned 'yearbook.' I had tried to forget everything about that show... i saw it at a drama festival about, oh god, 8 years ago and it was just horrible. I remember everyone falling down and loving it and the people from my school being like 'ummm that was the most horrendous thing i have ever seen.' That just brought back such memories

Posted: 11/2/05 at 5:02pmThere was a small thread a few weeks ago about the musical 'Festival' - only 5 or so people responded which leads me to believe it is a relatively unknown show.
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Boomers.
A local group did the world premire of it here in NH a year or two ago. It's got a nice score, a solid book. Just weird things here and there. It's gonna go places, maybe with a new name.
Very good though.

"Anyone ever heard of this.
"Trial By Jury" this was an opera written by a very famous pair of composers.
Their next opera after this was "The Sorcerer"
Can anyone tell me which pair of composers wrote it? "
Gilbert and Sullivan, but before Trial they wrote Thespis together.

La Cava (London) - Lawrence O'Keefe was a co-composer on this one, though it's not mentioned in any of his bios.
Radio Times (London) - I played the CD once and put it away, never to be heard again...
Money to Burn - closed after three performances in London a couple of years ago. The Guardian review ran: "...[a show]...that describes itself as a 'musical comedy thriller' and that manages to miss all three of its chosen targets..."

I almost went to see "Ain't Broadway Grand" but decided day of there were better things to do with my evening.
Roquat: Do you mean "LATE Nite Comic?" I know one of the cast members and the mother of the composer.
I've heard of "Moose Murders" and saw the recent reading of the revised "Boy Meets Boy"
Have the recording of "Only Heaven Knows" (love that David Campbell).
Heard some of the music from "Best Foot Forward"
What was that Cleo Laine Cinderella musical? "Cindy Ella" or something? Was that just an album or was it ever on stage?
I also have the recording of "Selma" about MLK Jr.
And, oddly enough, 2 different recordings of "Freudania" about, well, Freud.
Another bizarre 70's show was (I think) "Truckload." A friend of mine was in it and she said it was just horrible. The highlight was when they drove a huge semi from the loading dock onto the stage. It may not have ever officially opened...
