Well, you've read the notes, the notes were high flying adored, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've got another suitcase in another hall and are almost ready.

ALW'S THOUGHTS

Quote
Starlight Express started life in 1975 as a sort of Cinderella story which I hoped would be an animated movie.

It never got off the ground. Then in 1983 I rewrote it for my children, Imogen and Nicholas, in the version that opened in March 1984 in this theatre. Nine years later we revisited Starlight whose new music was dedicated to my son, Alastair. Starlight was always meant to be fun, hopefully an entertaining piece of live theatre for a new audience.

Everything in Starlight is played and performed live, though the orchestra is invisible under the stage. We are all proud that Starlight not only because the second longest running musical in London theatre history in April 1992, but also has spawned a new generation of theatre-goers who perhaps never considered going to the theatre before and who may have gone on to other (perhaps more conventional!) things.

Andrew Lloyd Webber
From the 1992 London production programme

I have the original London cast recording of Starlight Express and it's my favorite of all the different recordings.  I don't really care for the changes that have been put in, over the years...but that's just me.

I think that the concept album of Evita references the historical Che. (There are some comments about his work with insecticide).

One of my favorite ALW songs is the solo, "Only He," sung by the then-not-late Stephanie Lawrence from that original London cast recording.  It's been rewritten to be a duet, and I don't think it's as good. :-\

I enjoy ALW's Variations and I like "Tell Me On a Sunday". BUT NOT THE rewritten Bernadette Peters version which is in my list of all time dreadful recordings.

I do like "Unexpected Song".

I also like "Love changes everything" but he reminds me of something else - maybe from Candide!

There are also two quite lovely melodies used in "The Beautiful Game".

I really like the songs "Tell Me On a Sunday" and "Nothing Like You've Ever Known" (this is in 5/4).

I definately love Variations.  I love it in the original rock variation, I love it in the orchestral variation, and I love the live recording from London's Song and Dance.

OK, so I'm a Variations slut.  Sue me.

Tuesday morning greetings!  I'm up early for an appointment with my foot surgeon and then some errands with Richard on the way home.

Hi Ben.  Based on Anthony's Starfighter audition last year, Skip had recommended Anthony for a role (it was a showcase, so awful pay, but a fun part)  but then I realized from here that Anthony had a really nice job for August.  But I thought Anthony would like to know that going to an audition can indeed keep him on people's minds even when he doesn't get the part he's auditioning for, though I'm sure he knows that.

Good morning, all! This is another day with the 42nd Street NYPL, but first the laundry must be accomplished.

Through a terrible fluke based entirely on cash flow and vacation schedules, I had to book a trip of two days to the Library of Congress yesterday, and I booked it for Thursday and Friday of this week. In reading this morning's notes, I realized what a mess my absent-minded action has done to my social calendar for the week. I may be back by 7 for DR FJL's and DP Skip's  soiree, but it depends on whether or not my work is finished in time to make the 4 pm train. I hope to be there, but I'm already extending apologies in case I don't make it back in time.

TOD: This is a curiosity: I've been listening to this JAY recording, THE MUSICALITY OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER because I have orchestrations on it, several or them tracks from earlier recordings like "Macavity" and "Starlight Express." However, I'm credited for two charts and I don't believe they're both mine. I remember scoring a number from "The Beautiful Game" for Mr Yap but I didn't keep a copy of the score so I don't know if "Our Kind of Love" sung by the wonderful Sally Ann Triplett is really mine. As to the other one I'm credited for, "Whistle Down the wind," did I really score it? I honestly don't think so, but I could be wrong. Do I have any favorite ALW songs? Maybe "Half a Moment," which is really lovely, but "Love Changes Everything" sounds incomplete to me, like an AABA song missing several sections, and I keep wondering where the second theme is.

Larry - Please call us when you know if you're going to make it -  i guess that would be  when you know whether you're making that 4 pm train.  In terms of places to sit, knowing one way or the other whether it's 8 or 9 people will help a bit.  The more the merrier of course (especially when you're the "more"), but we just want to be ready as far in advance as we can.

So it's Skip, me, BK, jose, JulieMiller, singdaw, Vixmom, vixter,
