Description / My Opinion
Footlight - Ordered 06/04/1999 - Received 06/15/1999

The first performance of this production was held at Quarry Theatre, West Yorkshire Playhouse, 30 November 1998.

The booklet contains 5 big (one page) color pictures of the show and one double page color picture collage. There's a one page synopsis, one page of critics (good...).

I love this version as much as the first, no more, no less. I've been sad some songs like Here comes the morning were dropped, but the new songs are often very good. Unfortunately, I've found that some melodies were rather weak. I also think Martin (Stephen Weller) is weaker than Matt Rawl (well, his voice is less nice). But as a whole, this recording is rather great.
