This cult classic Broadway Musical
previously only enjoyed an abridged cast album. JAY's first complete
recording of the score is the answer to this masterworks legion
of fans hungry for alternative recordings of it since it's Broadway
debut in 1963. The 2 CD set contains over 40 minutes of previously
unrecorded material including those that were added to the New
York City Opera's revival a few years ago. Hit songs include IS
IT REALLY ME? IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER HOT DAY and LITTLE RED SHOES.
Composer Harvey Schmidt and lyricist Tom Jones also wrote Broadway's
longest running musical "The Fantasticks" which is still running
after 46 years. The starry cast includes Ron Raines with Karen
Ziemba (currently wowing audiences on Broadway in CHICAGO) and
Richard Muenz repeating their roles from the New York City Opera
production. Recorded in London and New York, this addition to
the JAY Original Masterworks series was recorded with the National
Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Owen Edwards and was produced
by John Yap.
