Closer To Heaven. it flopped in London in the early nineties and is a guilty pleasure. I love the score, as well as the pop versions on the PSB album Nightlife. Recommended.

I remember watching Closer to Heaven at the Arts Theatre. I had such high expectations. I remember at the interval being somewhat disappointed, and then I saw Neil Tennant speaking to the director and I was too much in awe to say anything to him. Once the cast album came out, I was hooked...and now I can't even begin to remember what I didn't like. I've managed to miss the revivals, and also the one-woman show "Musik" starring Billie Trix (one of the lead characters in Closer to Heaven). I'd love to see this again, along with Musik. I continue to enjoy the music, including the PSB versions, the cut songs, and the extended versions.

And back to the original topic, "Results" is a gem. This is a good reminder it's time for me to revisit this.

If I was aware of this, I had forgotten all about it. NIGHTLIFE is a top-notch album especially if you're into PSB. I'm intrigued now.
