Was there footage available at one point? You must have seen Smeghead's production because you were able to comment on it but you made no comment about the 1986 production. Was it any good? BTW, how much was the poster? > Yes, the VHS is from the 1986 production. The album is not > the original cast. It's more of a concept album. The songs > were cast instead of the characters. Oh right. Did you read that part of an Amazon review I posted where someone seems to be complaining about that? > Andre De Shields I love that guy. Even though I have only ever seen him playing Hook for the "BOOH" reading. Unfortunately, none of the performers sang. They just played the album tracks with new videos. Is he a great singer? What character did he play in "Rhinegold"? I will reread the script with him in mind. I love him for his acting. He made Hook's dialogue sound like Shakespeare. He was particularly brilliant at Jim's speeches. > The arrangements on the album were based on the original > orchestrations that Steve Margoshes wrote for the Queen's > College production. You have said before that Steve is a genius. I think you said that nobody understands how to mix rock and classical better than him. > Has > > there only beeen a VHS release from the Queen's College > > production? > > No, there hasn't. What other VHS releases were there? Anything on DVD? > > Why was it cancelled by Papp? > > He kept taking all the leads for his other productions and > finally he said to them he was cancelling the show. I'm > amazed that he gave Jim the opportunity in the first place > considering how well "More than you deserve" did... Hee hee. I can just see Jim stealing all the leads. It sort of reminds me of Meat Loaf's memory of "More Than You Deserve" when Meat said that Jim hired six choreographers without telling anyone and he had originally been hired just to write two songs for a "play". > It was a flop. It lasted 63 performances but it was a > flop. 63 isn't bad. If you take into account some of the things that Meat Loaf and Paul Shaffer have said about it. | |
