A lot depends on which version of the musical they are familiar with. I don't
care for the Broadway version (although there are some incredible songs like
"Someone Else's Story" and "Apukad Eros Kazen" - and the female lead on the
Broadway cast album, Judy Kuhn, has a more vibrant style). I prefer the story
and music from the concept album, and find myself running lines from that
frequently. The female lead from a play I directed this summer listened to
the tape backstage before every performance. My sister disagrees entirely,
and likes the Broadway album better. My roommate saw the new version a few
months ago and says that it combines the best of both. There have been many
other versions as well, it changes almost every time it is staged.

Any advice appreciated.

As you know already, the answer is yes.
I saw it there 3 months ago, and thought the cast was *obviously* bad.
(comparing to the recording and the LA cast.)

To me, these comments seem contradictory.  If the playing of the 
orchestra is a disappointment, how can the conducting be wonderful?
It seems to me that if the orchestra does not perform with the 
"sizzle and snap" desired, the fault lies to a large extent with 
the conductor.  This seems especially true when the orchestra
performs up to expectations when accompanied by the pianists.

PERFORM-L is a newsgroup for folks interested in performance studies. 
Recent discussions have covered everything from virtual reality to the
signficance of the live performer to why audiences respond differently
to pro wrestling than they do to opera.  Most everyone on the list is

I hope finals are going smoothly for all of you who have to take them...

Ahem. Now that that's out of the way, I have a request. :)

I was just sitting here listening to my CHESS album, and I was wondering
if there was anyone out there in net.land who happened to have the
lyrics to "Nobody's Side". Actually, I'd like to have lyrics to the whole
thing, but I'll settle for "Nobody's Side". :)

Can anyone help me out?

Also, message to Kelly Morrison....
I tried to send you a message earlier and it bounced back to me. Maybe
we're just having connection problems... anyway, I need to know what the
name of the song is on the Premiere Collection tape that you made for me
that is after Mr. Mistoffeles and before Superstar. It's all instumental,
so I can't figure out the name or where it's from. Are you still at school?

Give me a call, if you're still there... I'll be home Dec 22- Jan 12 or so.

For $60 a ticket, you'd better listen to it first.  I thought it was great,
and my date that night loved it too, but a lot of the theatre-goers were not
impressed, it seemed.  So, my advice is to give it a listen first.  The    
melodies are sweet but almost too often repeated.  The actual songs in it,
though, are as good as he's written.  As for the story itself, bring a notebook.It can be very confusing.  It wasn't for me, since I read the novel, but my
date kept complaining she wasn't sure what was going on.
By the way, I saw the Canadian Tour, I think, when it hit Chicago over the 
summer.
