glebb Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 The (un)Original Cast Recording - Volume 5 is the best since Volumes 1 and 2, in my opinion. Created and written by Gerard Alessandrini, "Forbidden Broadway Cleans Up Its Act" stars Bryan Batt, Lori Hammel, Edward Staudenmayer and Kristine Zbornik. This study on the 'mousification' of Broadway spoofs the raunchy "Cabaret", "Chicago" and "Swan Lake". Other selections are "A Jolly Holiday With Rudy" - Julie Andrews and Rudolf Giulianni, "The Lion King" - "The Circle of Mice", "Can You Feel The Pain Tonight?", and a very wicked tribute to Julie Taymor, "Titanic, The Musical" - "Ship of Air", Bernadette Peters in "Annie Get Your Gun", Ann Miller in "I'm Still Weird" (I'm Still Here), "Gagtime" medley, "Super-Frantic-Hyper-Active Self-Indulgent-Mandy"(Pitinkin), "Find Mary Martin" (Climb Every Mountain). This CD is perfect for a four mile run! Link to comment
carbro Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Glebb, thanks for the heads up. I must hear "Super-Frantic-Hyper-Active Self-Indulgent-Mandy." :speechless: Link to comment
Mary J Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I love this cd, too! My favorite part is the tribute (?) to Les Miz, the "only show with its own pension plan..." Link to comment
