I’ll be honest...

I’d completely forgotten Murphy hadn’t done the cast album.
I’d also forgotten all about Jacquey Maltby, who I happened to see in all 3 of her major NY stage credits I could find - saw her teice in Jerry’s Girls (the second tone, after Chita had left due to her horrible taxicab accident, they split up Rivera’s track among the ensemble performers), then when she went on in City of Angels, and finally the second time I saw Song of Singapore.
If I remember correctly there was some tension between Murphy and the shows other performers, who were also the writers... not trying to stir up stuff 30 years later, not sure if she was already missing performances to the extent she later would... but this was RIGHT before Murphy really popped — she’d already done Drood, but this was the beginning of the crazy 2-year period when she would alternate between workshops of Passion and Hello Again - and of course wound up doing productions of both - so that may have had something to do with it.
