Is that a euphemism?
I guess nobody else knows that lyric either......speak clearly, Orson....posterity is confused!
Yes. ILLYA DARLING is my new favorite KRITZERLAND release of the year! And as MR BK says, hearing the songs in "show order" makes the album a completely different kind of listen. My favorite songs are all there....and the addition of PO PO PO and THE BIRTHDAY SONG are great....particularly PO PO PO with it's dialog and exposition.The music is glorious...remember this is my first time hearing in in S T E R E O!!Congrats to KRITZERLAND and MR BK on this wonderful release. Hopefully the score - if not the show - will be rediscovered. The arrangements are lovely to hear. And since that cock-eyed Greek prostitute is the whole show - hearing her "vocals" in stereo is also very nice!!Hurray! But I still can't make out the lyric in GOLDEN LAND that follows the line:"....seek the Achilles heel........far away"
The new revival cast album of West Side Story is being recorded this very day.

ON THIS DAY IN THEATRE HISTORY:The very first Tony Awards was held in 1947 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. It reportedly had one of the lowest television audience for an awards show ever.
Patti Lupone IS Illya!
DR JRand, maybe someday Patti Lupone will record the song--then all will be clear.
Also, the documentary about the casting and creation of the recently closed [but touring] revival of A Chorus Line opens in theatres 17-April.
Is this something that we need? A documentary following the creation and casting of the original seems far more interesting.
