Description / My Opinion
CDNow - Ordered 11/06/98 - Shipped 12/02/98 - Received 12/11/98
This is a very interesting cast recording. Out of the story, the performances are good. Unfortunately, the lyrics included in the booklet do not contain the confessions lyrics to retain an element of surprise... The score is also a piece of art and there are lots of terrific moments in this recording.

There seems to exist two CD recordings of this show, with more complete material, but I couldn't find one.
