| I must say that Steven is actually lying... I was also sent a copy of the DVD and it was not like that at all. The songs were all sung a cappella by Jim in his bathroom (for the echo to provide the best acoustics... Jim had his bathroom built by a great architect to give the best acoustics). The video clips were of Jim in a wig as Wendy with Barry Keating as Peter and Rink as Hook (Really who could play the evil bastard better?) and JD as Emily. If you don't believe me ask JD, she knows I'm telling the truth because I'm BFFs with a producer (well actually it is someone who works in the produce department at the grocery but that's the same thing.) If you want more proof just please tell me how I can provide it... I'll need you to tell me 7 times in writing, in triplicate, and notarized. > > I'm guessing the diaglogue from the 2008 NYC reading > mixed > > with animation (Scarfe?) and songs (newly recorded or just > > the Bat 1 & 2 album tracks?). > > They hate me anyway, so I might as well answer your post. > > The songs used were the tracks from the album. > > The animation is not by Scarfe (even though he has met Jim > about possibly doing the animation for the show).
