A German cast album of Wicked is soon to be released. If the YouTube audio clips from the production are any indication, it should be a winner!

Here's Defying Gravity.

We are fruity.

Yes, indeed.

But are we morsels?

I suppose that is for others to decide...

I was just reading the article online about the doomsday cult in central Russia that has barricaded themselves in a cave. They are waiting for the end of the world.

I don't mean to make light of anyone's religious beliefs, but two things struck me as rather strange. First of all the leader of this so-called cult is not one of the people barricaded inside the cave. In fact, the authorities took the leader to the cave in hopes that he could talk them out of the cave. The other thing that strikes me as strange is that they expect the end of the world to come in about May of next year. So, if you are expecting the end to come next spring, why bother to barricade yourselves into a snow-covered cave right before the start of a freezing winter?

Topic of the Day:

In my CD player here at work: the original soundtrack to Une Chambre en Ville and the original concept album to Blackbeard: A New Musical.

So far, I've listened to each of these once. Even though I have no idea what they're specifically singing, I very much enjoyed the movie soundtrack. It's very different than what I expected.

I also had no idea what to expect from Blackbeard and I am very pleasantly surprised...for the most part. This has a very good score and I think that the melodies for a couple of the women's songs are beautiful. Some of the lyrics, however...

Rob Gardner (who wrote book, music and lyrics) uses false rhymes and is a little sloppy. Take this little interchange:

No! Don’t say it! Don’t say his name!
You might call the monster here!
He knows your thoughts,
Think of something that's not
The pirate that everyone fears!

He rhymes "here" with "fears" and "thoughts" with "not." I know it could be a lot worse, so this is a minor quibble, so overall, I did enjoy it...and can recommend it. There is a website for the show, www.blackbeardthemusical.com where they have audio clips and the complete lyrics! They even have lyrics/dialogue that are not on the recording. That's pretty cool.

Thank you, RLP and MattH, for the feedback. It sounds like maybe HD-DVD is the way to go, but I think I'll wait until all the sales next week to see what prices are.

BK, I got it on Amazon Marketplace--there are copies there for up to $300, this one was less than 1/3 of that, but still pricey, if you ask me (though IIRC the original sold for $20 or so back in 1969/70 when my Mom got it for my birthday--I remember her bitching about the price, LOL). The description said "near fine with all inserts intact". We shall see--although I've had really good luck with Amazon Marketplace sellers.

::LONG SIGH::

My dear daughter just called and asked me if I knew anything about a play called "Lion in Winter".

Yes, say I. I've never seen a stage production but the movie is one of my favorites.

"Nice," says DD, do I think the Grandlads would enjoy it, she inquires.

Well sez me, it's pretty adult and quite wordy - I think Alex (age 11) would get bored.

"Oh," says DD - "then William(age 8 ) probably would to."

Well, sez me, I think they're both much too young for that venture.

Too bad." says DD, we're all going to see it tonight!

ERGHHHRGRG!

I enquired if she knew anything about the plot - obviously the answer was no. I explained that it was about the quintessential dysfunctional family with the husband and wife trying to destroy each other using their children as weapons. I also suggested she be prepared to explain why the King of France was screwing the Prince of England. I noted that a more than casual familiarity with the geopolitics of late 13 Century Europe would be helpful.

So, the Mother who won't let her kids watch The Rugrats on TV is taking them to see The Lion in Winter!

I guess Equus and Viginia Wolff are not far behind!

That would be the Grimmerie, I believe. I have been tempted, but all the descriptions indicate the majority of material was culled from the 2nd or 3rd Broadway cast and the first few touring casts.

I saw Idina and Kristen and Bobby Morse. If they ain't in it, I don't want it!

The Grimmerie is not exactly new. It was published roughly two years ago, I believe.

The original price of The Ridiculously Expensive Mad was - $9.95
