At Emory University in '87 ('86?) we were also able to produce (and I was elated to be able to conduct) the original version. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with anything else.

Brandeis' student theatre group did the original show in the '86-'87 season, the year after I graduated. (But I was still there, working with the graduate acting program as a young musical director, and I saw the show.) Beth was played by a young freshman actress by the name of...Debra Messing. Yes, that one. :-)

By the way, thank you for the link to that episode of the "Life In The Pit" podcast. A friend of mine had suggested this series to me, and somehow I never remembered to look it up. But "now I know" lol. :-)
