Oh man.. I should have mentioned that. That is easily one of the most played CDs I've ever had... I had to buy it again just cause I wore it out. I'm talking about the OBC of course. As much as I love all the other additional songs, I don't love any of the recordings of the new versions, except that big televised concert the Lenny conducted... that may be the best version of the show in terms of collected songs and order etc. It's hard to say it's under appreciated considering how many times it's been recorded or televised. But it is nonetheless still very much under appreciated because so few people, relatively speaking, have even heard of it. West Side Story no one would accuse of being over appreciated, and though Candide has been lucky to be recorded and revival so many times, it is one of the great achievements of the musical theater and it is never considered on that level by the greater public who do not even know it exists. I know the book has presented many people with issues, but I think the show has worked with all the books written for it, even though some are better than others.
