Description / My Opinion
Amazon.com - Ordered 02/25/99 - Shipped 02/26/99 - Received 03/10/99

First performance at The American Place Theatre, New York, 9th May 1983

The booklet contains 5 medium B&W pictures of the show and a little text by Michael Barrett (Musical Director).

I didn't understand the story very well, but the score and the songs are nice enough to make this recording very pleasurable. There are lots of dialogues that are very well performed, that is the listener can actually have a good idea of what is the actor's mood and how they behave on stage. Some aspects of it remind me a little Kurt Weill's Street Scene.
