| Not surprised. It's a beautifully sung, acted and danced production. Jacob Keith Watson was on as Enoch the night I saw it, and he was as strong as the rest of the cast. (Well, Amar Ramasar is no actor, but he makes up for that with spectacular dancing.) Just curious: Does the album include "Stonecutter's Cut It On Stone"? It is not performed in the show. |

| no stonecutters or geraniums. June is bustin is missing Carrie;s "Get away you no-account nothins" that usually opens that number, but the are a couple of orchestral segues between songs, that I've not heard on recordings before.......Miss Mendez won a tony for her Carrie as did Audra, -other fine Carries on disc include Susan Watson.,Florence Henderson, Sarah Brightman. As Barbara Cook once said, I've played Julia and Carrie, but Carrie is more fun. ........Re Alan Scott's(Hello Alan) comment on orchestrationas, If I ruled the World , there would be studio cast discs of all the Kern, Rodgers Cole porter shows, with orig Orchestrations, etc. John McGlinn did a fine job, but I don't think he always had final say on what to record. His Kurt Weill cd had big chunks of LOVE LIFE and FIREBRAND OF FLORENCE, and a broadway showstopppers disc had 4 songs from SWEET ADELINE> I had the feeling he would have liked to record those entire scores......New Worlds records recently came out with a complete recording of Roberta, John Yap soldiers on, PS CLASSY and others, but at age68 I dont think I'll ever get to hear them all...Ah, well. | |
