Steve
Becker pitched this as a show I should consider. One listen to the
soundtrack CD and I was in love- lush, beautiful, melodic music filled with
passion and humor. SOLD.
I
procured a perusal, and set up a read-through with Grant at CPCT. The day
came. We all sat down to read through the script and listen to the songs.
The time came for the first song and… uh, wait a minute- that’s not it. Let
me find it… it’s not on here. Oh well, let’s move on. 2nd song…
that’s not it. What’s going on here? Steve runs home for a revival
soundtrack CD. The other songs are there, as well as some others that
aren’t in the script. And there’s songs on the original CD that aren’t in
the script, and a song in the script that’s not on either CD…
This
all should have told me something. Time for some research. Turns out this
show has never done that well at the box office (this production would be
no different), and therefore has been endlessly tinkered with since it’s
inception. There are a seemingly infinite variety of versions. To this day
there are songs credited to this or that production that I’ve never heard
or seen the music to.
Well,
darn it, I can tinker with the best of ‘em (in my, um, humble opinion). So,
undaunted, I took my shot…
Note:
I’m not blessed with anywhere near the photo coverage on this show as I was
with “My Fair Lady”. The pics are not performance shots, but culled from
various rehearsals. The set and costumes are in various stages of completion,
and lighting is flash in many cases. The pictures don’t so much capture the
show as give you a rough idea.
