The joys of horseracing.  I'll take Superstar over Joseph any day of the week, myself.

Well. you're wrong. DRJed, but I hope you get a job!

I do like a lot of Superstar myself.  I always liked the bizarre film.

Or was it Oklahoma! that released volume 2 of songs

Well, HAIR had the original Public Theatre cast recording, then the Broadway cast recording, and OKLAHOMA! did get a second set of 78's from Decca with Alfred Drake singing Jud's "Lonely Room."

Thank you DR Elmore. I love the "widow" clause.

I'm still thinking about that third show.  HELLO, DOLLY! had three original cast recordings:  Carol Channing, Pearl Bailey, and Mary Martin, which was primarily the cast of the first national tour I saw in Cincinnati; I think it's LORELEI, which had two recordings beyond GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, with Carol Channing, Leeroy Reams, etc.

You know, it's interesting in the denouement:  Alan is saved by Mary's becoming a widow, but the truth about  Uncle Barnaby's involvement in the Toymaker's murder is never disclosed; Alan technically is a freed murderer at the finale as opposed to being exonerated.

The 1902 WIZARD OF OZ must have been incomprehensible to children as well:  outside of the cyclone blowing Dorothy and her cow Imogene to Oz, there are no wicked witches, and the plot involves Dorothy being chased by poet laureate Dashemoff Daley, the lady lunatic looking for her lost love who turns out to be the Tin Man, and Pastoria's plot to take over Oz and execute the Wizard!  I expect they loved the Montgomery & Stone antics like "Baffin's Bay" and the Football Song, and all the singing and dancing and had no idea what the hell was happening.

I like Joseph okay (i liked it better 10 years ago).  But I think my favorite ALW musical would be Evita.  Seeing it on stage i was totally mesmerized.

It might have been Hair. The album was called DisenHAIRited.

Thanks for the suggestions of what they (Regis, Kathy Lee and Vanessa) might have been referring to.

George Bush wants to take over the TV show "OZ?"  I wonder what Christopher Meloni has to say about that?? ;)

We have the DVD of Donny Osmond doing Joseph I am not sure which CD of Joseph we have tho' I shall have to check when we get home.  

I was very fond of this DVD and the Vixter loved it as well....


WARNING!  Very Gay Comment Ahead:

I thought Donny Osmond was wonderful in the touring company of JOSEPH, so I was really looking forward to the DVD.  When I finally saw it, I was very disappointed in the way they staged it for the video, but, to make matters worse, Donny shaved his chest for the video.  Now why in the world would you tour all over the hinterland and back, exposing your hairy chest to the world, but then shave it for the video???  It just seemed weird.

America loves the boy from OZ and wants the rest of us too. A musical written for Jackman is what I would like to see.  Van Helsing the musical.  NOT.
Another reminder - Mr Crowe is from New Zealand!

Hummm... I think Jackman and Crowe in La Cage Aux Folles would be a treat!

What are you trying to say?
Oz is better than New Zealand?
In the latter, people make their telephones fly with more... zeal? ;)

Is it true that some US "papers" call Mr Crowe "Jerkus Maximus"?

Does this mean I've gotta shave when we take AGYG on the road?

I suppose that would depend on what road we take AGYG (orchestrations by Larry Moore) on.

I guess, for the video, Mr Osmond had to be PC: pure chested!

After all; he was not appearing in a revival of HAIR! :D

Yes, DRFrancois,  Mr Crowe is getting trashed daily in Manhattan.  Ah, fame, thou glittering bauble!

The answer to that question determines whether or not it ends up in your VCR, right, Larry?
