The actress who's playing Sister Robert Anne in NUNCRACKERS told me she has the BROOKLYN CD with four selections on it (which I understand the producers were using for PR purposes prior to the show opening.) Anyway, she's going to let me borrow it next week. Looking forward to hearing the songs on it.
I've had this in my possession for about a month and haven't bothered to take the shrink wrap off of it.
It's been quite a season for new musicals so far. The critics have been besides themselves coming up with synonyms for dreck in their pans of Dracula and Brooklyn. The name of one of the authors of Brooklyn is the same as the name of one of the authors of the first musical of mine to get produced. Oddly, as is the case with so many Hollywood scripts, I never met the man. Could it be the same fellow?
In any case, I hope the authors of Brooklyn are learning a thing or two about writing a musical, and will come back and write something better. One can't have the same hopes for the authors of Dracula, because they've had many musicals produced before, and seem to get worse and worse.
