Score 1970 - Articles Page 23

On Friday, February 23rd at 5:30 pm at Barnes & Noble Lincoln Triangle, Raul Esparza and the entire cast of Company will perform three musical numbers from the classic Stephen Sondheim score in conjunction with the release of the new cast recording of the critically acclaimed Broadway revival.

Bruce F. Winston remembers his 'musical theatre mentor' Harold Rome, the composer/lyricist of Call Me Mister, Fanny, I Can Get It for You Wholesale and more

He has sold more than 70 million solo albums and is best known as a drummer, songwriter and performer. Oscar-winning songwriter and seven-time Grammy Award winner Phil Collins can now add Broadway composer to his credits. He has written the music and lyrics, and has even expanded his songs for Disney's film into a complete theatre score.

LESTAT stars Hugh Panaro in the title role, Carolee Carmello as Gabrielle, Jack Noseworthy as Armand, Jim Stanek as Louis, Roderick Hill as Nicolas, Michael Genet as Marius and Allison Fischer as Claudia.

With so many older (pre-1970) musicals being the butt of jokes in current Broadway productions, it makes it both supremely difficult and yet very simple to appreciate the more elegant form of a musical. Take, for example, 'Camelot', staged for one night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
