I saw the original cast on my 18th bday. I agree that Raul Julia wasn't much of a singer - but he was terrific as an actor. Hearing a recording of Jonathan Pryce sing Bells of St Sebastian made it much more memorable than when I saw it in 82.... But I still won't forget the "controversy" over Anita Morris' semi-sheer jumpsuit and how Lilliane Montevecci played several lines to my BF at the time.
