OH! One of my favorites store signs that I saw while walking around earlier was:

Chocolates
Perfumes
Sunglasses

Hmmm..... Interesting combination of wares.

DR Danise - Is is just the three pages? And is it really that short?

JMK · « **Reply #124 on:** March 24, 2005, 12:40:18 PM »

Pogue, Kelly is out on CD on the Original Cast label (the other Bruce's label

). The liner notes are fascinating. Charlap insists it was a hit, it just didn't run, LOL. And there are some bonus cuts, including Mrs. Charlap, Sandy Stewart, singing the big ballad, which, again, he claims was a top 40 hit, but I have never been able to find in Whitburn, LOL

Perhaps you know this already, but Charlap and Stewart's son is a jazz pianist of the first order. He is known to do songs from Kelly occasionally in his sets.

My worst nightmare is the one where I'm in the underground mausoleum and they shut the entry and I can't get out.

My worst fear is that they will paint the new church interior flamingo pink.

Chocolate, perfumed sunglasses--Yum! (NOT!)

Yes, DR Jose, 3 pages is all. Remember, it is the Phantoms "unfinished" work.

DR CP said:

"Has anyone ever heard the score to KELLY? The other score I'd be interested to hear was HOME,SWEET HOMER...a musical version of the audience with Joan Diener and Yul Brynner. Were either of these ever recorded in any form?"

There is a studio recording of Kelly. It was made in 1998. I have a copy. There is nothing in the score that stands out. It wasn't horrible enough to contribute to the legend of the bomb. There are some bonus tracks of one of the performers in the show. She made a couple of recordings for release as pop tunes during the time of the show. They are pleasant but that's about it. It's also available at Footlight Records. Here is the info from their Web site:

Audio CD
Studio Cast
Title: Kelly
Version: STUDIO
Composer: Charlap, Moose
Lyricist: Lawrence, Eddie
Starring: D'Arcy James, Brian/Mayes, Sally

Price: $16.95

Product Description
Starring Brian D'Arcy James and Sally Mayes
Including Bonus Track: "I'll Never Go There Anymore"(pop version) performed by Sandy Stewart and arranged by Don Costa.
Recorded June/July 1998
14 Track total

IIRC (if I recall correctly) there are bootlegs of Home Sweet Homer floating around this great land of ours but I don't think there has ever been a real recording or even a studio recording made of the score.

I can make a copy of Kelly for folks who are interested.

Anyone over heard of SMIKE the musical? Based on the character from Nicholas Nickleby. I saw the LP the other day at Footlight and it looked kinda crazy.

DR Danise, I would be interested in checking out "Don Juan Triumphant" if it is available through email. I'm such the adict! Let me know what info you'd like from me.

No, but there's a great musical based on Smike's brother, called Swonderful.

Oddly enough, I did a little voice-over work for the first time in probably thirty years for a friend of mine on a promo reel for a movie. I was amazed at how quickly it all came back and how well I acquited myself. Everyone seemed quite pleased with my work. Nice to know I've still got the chops.

If Jose comes ever comes to your neigborhood, be prepared to find out about restaurants he has found in a day that you never knew about in four years of living there!

So just what is this KELLY musical? I can't find any info about it on the web.

Many folks here will remember Judith Crist as a movie reviewer for TV Guide in the 1970s-80s. But Crist had a previous life as one of NYC's most powerful critics at the NY Herald-Tribune. She was right up there with Bosley Crowther of the NY Times and a few others at one time as a critic to be won over. But...in 1965, she disliked "The Sound of Music." Not only did she dislike it, but she was snide about it. And the readership was not amused. The Herald-Tribune fired her because of her review rather than lose thousands of subscribers.

On the other hand, Judith loved THE LION IN WINTER so I I liked her. In fact, she was at the vanguard of critics who championed THE LION IN WINTER for the Best Film award from the N. Y. Film Critics Circle. When it ended up winning the prize, Adler resigned from the organization.

Seems like there was an article on Don Francks in SHOW MUSIC years ago, but I'm not going through all those back issues to find it. Or maybe it was in THEATER WEEK.

Matthew · « **Reply #143 on:** March 24, 2005, 01:14:09 PM »

Nevermind... it's arrived

Matt H. · « **Reply #144 on:** March 24, 2005, 01:15:49 PM »

Didn't they record HOME SWEET HOMER through the sound system and release it on a bootleg LP? Seems like I remember someone writing about it. I don't have it.

I am planning on watching the NBC Americanized version of THE OFFICE tonight. I know it can't begin to match the wit and brilliance of the British version, but I'm going to give it a try. The reviews haven't been damning, and with no laugh track (a la SCRUBS), it might appeal to me.

Matt H. · « **Reply #147 on:** March 24, 2005, 01:23:04 PM »

I also am going to make a mighty effort to watch MEDIUM tonight. With the CBS line-up gone due to basketball, I should be able to find the time.

JMK & elmore, I do remember that Francks was in the infamous KELLY. It's seems his film stardom was as brief as his fling at Broadway stardom.

Has anyone ever heard the score to KELLY? The other score I'd be interested to hear was HOME,SWEET HOMER...a musical version of the audience with Joan Diener and Yul Brynner. Were either of these ever recorded in any form?

DRPogue, my memory is that there's a sound system tape of KELLY that was released on vinyl in the late 1970s, and it might have actually made it to CD. I suspect there are private hand-held cassette tapes of HOME, SWEET HOMER under its various titles, as it moved to New York, but I have never come across one.
