| I've posted this before but I heard it again and it bears repeating. The opening number to HIGH FIDELITY is one of the 5 best opening numbers of all time. Listen to it if you haven't before. Sooooo good. It's actually a good score all together. They should do it at Encores. | |

| Well... don't know if I'd count it as one of the 5 best opening numbers of ALL TiME (off the top of my head, I'd put "Tradition", "Wilkommen", "Company", "I Hope I Get It", "Ragtime", and "All That Jazz" ahead ot it, as well as the opening sequences of "into the Woods", "Grand Hotel" and "Titanic"... and could probably come up with 10 or 20 others). BUT, it is definitely on the list of 5 best opening numbers from major flop musicals (joining, again off the top of my head, "My Favorite Year", "The Wedding Singer", Colored Lights from "The Rink", and "Movies Were Movies" from "Mack and Mabel".) |

| I couldn't agree more. I'm so grateful that Ghostlight Records put out this terrific Tom Kitt-Amanda Green score on CD. ''The Last Real Record Store on Earth'' is an awesome opener, anchored by Will Chase, who's never been better. Kitt's tune is incredibly catchy, and I love Green's witty wordplay: ''I'm not too brilliant on the day-to-day''/ ''What's the day today?'' The score is chockful of knockouts: ''Desert Island Top 5 Breakups,'' ''Ready to Settle'' and the lovely ''Laura, Laura.'' But the other track I've played over and over is ''Goodbye and Good Luck,'' a fun fantasy number about Bruce Springsteen. ''High Fidelity'' played 18 previews and 13 regular performances in 2006, but I loved it so much, I must've seen 4 of them. I wish more regional theaters would do it. ''High Fidelity'' deserves to be heard and seen again. It really rocks. |
