6.1 CLAUDE MICHEL SCHONBERG [SP]

6.1.1 SHOWS TO DATE

LA REVOLUTION FRANCAISE - Boublil and Schonberg's first musical,
    produced in the early 1970's.  Very rock beat and completely in
    French.  About the French Revolution.  Even has Schonberg in a
    singing role.

LES MISERABLES (1985) - Musicalization of the Victor Hugo novel.  Won
    the Tony Award for best musical in 1987.

MISS SAIGON (1989) - Madame Butterfly-type story taking place during
    and after the Vietnam War.  Nominated for best musical Tony Award in
    1991.

6.1.2 CURRENT PROJECTS

Boublil/Schonberg are currently working on a musical version of the movie
THE RETURN OF MARTIN GUERRE (recently remade as SOMMERSBY).  Cameron
Mackintosh will produce, with an opening scheduled for spring 1995 in
London.  No cast has been announced but the director will be Declan
Donnellan and the designer Nick Ormerod.  The Boublil/Schonberg
production is not to be confused with MARTIN GUERRE, the Ames/Harrington
musical produced at Hartford Stage in 1993  starring Patrick Cassidy
and Judy Kuhn, or THE HOUSE OF MARTIN GUERRE a musical produced in Toronto
in the spring of 1993.

LES MIS movie info: Alan Parker [FAME, BUGSY MALONE, PINK FLOYD THE
WALL, BIRDY] was initially chosen by Cameron Mackintosh to direct the
movie for Tristar Pictures.  Parker pulled out, and was replaced by
Bruce Beresford [DRIVING MISS DAISY, BLACK ROBE].  Beresford has since
dropped out, and as of April 1993, the movie was in pre-production at
TriStar Pictures with the following creative team:

Producers: Cameron Mackintosh, David Matalon, Chris Kenny
Director: Richard Attenborough
Screenwriters: Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schonberg

A 1994 release is a near-impossibility; 1995 or later is more like it.

6.2.2 CURRENT PROJECTS

SUNSET BOULEVARD - ALW's musical version of the Billy Wilder movie
   opened July 12/93 at the Adelphi Theatre in London to mixed reviews.
   It starred Patti LuPone and Kevin Anderson (SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY),
   but Anderson has since left and LuPone's run in the show
   will end in March.  Betty Buckley will succeed LuPone in the
   London production.  The Los Angeles production opened December 9/93 at the
   Shubert Theatre.  The LA cast features Glenn Close (Norma), Alan
   Campbell (Joe), George Hearn (Max), and Judy Kuhn (Betty).  It has
   been officially announced that Close will play Norma in the NY
   production, which begins previews at the Minskoff in Oct/94 and
   opens Nov. 17/94.  Kevin Anderson will likely reprise the role of
   Joe.  Close's successor in the LA production has not been announced
   as of Mar/94.  The creative team for SUNSET BOULEVARD includes Christopher
   Hampton, who wrote the book (although it appears to have been taken
   mostly from the movie), Trevor Nunn (direction), and John Napier (sets).
   See 6.2.3 for cast recording information.

EVITA movie - This project has a long history.  There have been rumors
   of them wanting Meryl Streep (directed by Oliver Stone; Streep pulled
   out at the last moment, citing exhaustion from her previous movie),
   Barbra Streisand (listen to Forbidden Broadway for this version),
   Sarah Brightman and Madonna to play the lead.  Supposedly Touchstone/
   Disney was going to produce the movie, to be directed by Glen Gordon
   Caron (writer/producer of TV's MOONLIGHTING and director of CLEAN
   AND SOBER) and wanted Madonna to play Eva but Lloyd Webber didn't
   like the idea (for one thing, Madonna wanted some new songs written
   for her).  Oliver Stone is now again working on the movie
   for Touchstone.  He is looking to cast unknowns in the principal
   roles.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA movie - This is another one that has been
   rumored for quite a while yet never seems to get made.  Rumored leads
   have been Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman and one would assume
   Steve Barton.  Joel Schumacher (ST.  ELMO'S FIRE, FLATLINERS, FALLING
   DOWN) was initially scheduled to direct but he pulled out.  Still
   nothing happening yet.

ASPECTS OF LOVE movie - This is another rumored project that hasn't
   begun filming yet.  Supposedly Lloyd Webber wants Brightman as Rose
   and this wouldn't be surprising since he has had her playing Rose on
   Broadway, London and for part of the American tour.

CATS animated movie - Supposedly Steven Spielberg is to produce this,
   although there have recently been reports of a creative falling
   out between ALW and Spielberg.


6.2.3 RECORDINGS OF SHOWS


*JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT

This is the first musical that Lloyd Webber and Rice had produced.
Originally it started off as a piece for a Children's choir and later
became a Broadway musical.  The original production was only 15 minutes
long (the first recording ran about 1/2 an hour) but as the years went
by more songs were add to it so that the Broadway production of the early
80's ran for 60 minutes.  In 1991 a new production was staged in London
which is currently running.  This show now lasts about 2 hours with the
introduction of more dance sequences and the repeating of songs. A
production with Donny Osmond is touring the United States and Canada and
a production with Michael Damian is currently running at the Minskoff
Theater on Broadway

>Original 1968 Cast (25 min)
   -This has Tim Rice playing Pharoah.  It is very 60's rock and similar
    to the new production.
>1974 London Cast
>1979 London Cast
>1982 Broadway Cast (60) - Chrysalis
   -Stars Bill Hutton as Joseph and Laurie Beechman as the Narrator.
    This is a much more musicalized version of the show.  It was nominated
    for a Tony Award and runs about 60 minutes.
>1991 London Cast (72) - Polydor
   -Stars Jason Donovan as Joseph and Linzi Hately as the Narrator. This is
    a very modernized, rock version of the show.
>1992 Toronto Cast (72)
   -Stars Donny Osmond as Joseph and Janet Metz as the Narrator.  Same
    production as the 1991 London.
>1993 Los Angeles Cast
   -Star Michael Damian as Joseph and Kelli Rabke as the Narrator.  This
    is the cast that will play on Broadway.
>South African Cast
>Irish Cast
>Israeli Cast
>Mexican Cast

*JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

This is Lloyd Webber's and Rice's musical detailing the last days of Jesus.
Some argue that this should have been called Judas Iscariot Superstar
since the show is basically detailing Judas's dilemma in betraying
Jesus.  There have been a lot of new recordings and productions coming out
to celebrate its 20th year Anniversary.  Some music from this show came
from the Original Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

>Original Concept Recording (90)
   - Cast: Ian Gilliam             Jesus
           Murray Head             Judas
           Yvonne Elliman          Mary Magdalene
   - This is the original studio version before this became a musical.
     Very rock and features the voices of Rice and Lloyd Webber as
     chorus members.
>Original London Cast
>Original Broadway Cast (45)
   - Cast: Ben Vereen              Judas
           Yvonne Elliman          Mary Magdalene

   - Cast: Ted Neely               Jesus

           Keith Burns             Judas
           Claire Moore            Mary Magdalene
>Australian Cast(60)
   - This is an even more rock version of the show in the same manner of
     the new Joseph production.  Features among other performances, a
     heavy metal "Herod's Song" and a very Top-40 "I Don't Know How to
     Love Him."
V> Movie directed by Norman Jewison

*JEEVES

>Original London Cast(50)
   - There is indeed a recording for Lloyd Webber's only flop.  This is
     based on the Jeeves novels by P.G. Wodehouse.  One of the criticisms
     of this show is that the book dragged it down and the Jeeves was
     just a background character.  Sadly, the record is out of print.
     Some rare record store might have it but expect to pay up to $200
     if you are lucky enough to find it.  The recording is missing some
     of the show's songs but in the end proves to be a pretty good listen.

*EVITA

Musical of the life of Eva Peron.  Winner of Best Musical and Best Actress
g others.  Started off as a concept recording like Jesus
Christ Superstar and was later turned into a staged musical.

>Original Concept Recording - MCA(120)
   - very rock and contains the song "The Lady's Got Potential" as well as
     Che's insecticide plot line which were eventually dropped for staged
     production.
   - Cast: Julie Covington         Evita
           C.T. (Colm) Wilkinson   Che
           Paul Jones              Peron

*CATS

>Original London Cast(120)
   - This recording has Elaine Paige, Paul Nicholas, Brian Blessed, and
     Sarah Brightman among others.  It has a different version of
     "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser" from the future productions and
     includes the song the "Ballad of Billy McGraw".
>Original Broadway Cast(120)
   - This recording has Betty Buckley, Terrence Mann, and Ken Page among
     others.  In order to make fun of those who claimed he had stolen from
     Puccini, Lloyd Webber wrote "Growltiger's Last Stand" to replace the
     "Ballad of Billy McGraw" as a Puccini parody.
>Australian Cast(90)
   - This is the only english recording with the "Pekes and the Pollicles"
     on it.
>German Cast(60)
>German Cast live(120)

*THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

This is Andrew Lloyd Webber's biggest hit yet.  One of the most often
talked about subjects is who is the best Phantom.  Phantoms that a large
number of people appear to like include Michael Crawford, Colm
Wilkinson, Davis Gaines, and Dave Willetts.  This show has played to sell
out crowds on London and Broadway since it opened in 1987 and 1988
respectively.  Alan Jay Lerner was going to write the original lyrics for
this show but died before he could begin work.  This is also relevant
because a lot of people accuse Lloyd Webber of having stolen "Music of the
Night" from "Come to me, Bend to me" from Brigadoon, but this does not
appear to have attracted notice from that show's lyricist.

>London Cast (100 min.) - Polydor
   - Cast: Michael Crawford        Phantom
           Sarah Brightman         Christine
           Steve Barton            Raoul

>Toronto Cast (70) - Polydor

           Rebeccah Caine          Christine

   - This is a highlights recording but it does include the Hannibal opera
     which was not on the London Cast Recording.
>Hamburg Cast Highlights(50 min)

>Swedish Cast(110)
   - Basically the whole show recorded live.
>1988 Japanese Cast(120)
>1992 Japanese Cast(120)

*ASPECTS OF LOVE

Lloyd Webber's musical based on the David Garnett novel.  This show has
met mixed success.  It played 3 years in London but didn't even last one
year on Broadway.  It is currently touring the United States in a revamped
Robin Phillips production.  Some people complain that this show consists
of 1 song others are quick to point out the many musical themes in this
show.  There has been debate about the relationship between the beginning
and ending of the play and it has been generally resolved that the
beginning takes place right after Alex has left Rose and Jenny and has met
Giulietta.  In the touring production this means that it is actually
George's body in the casket.

      (OC = original cast)

6.3.3.1 Shows (as composer and lyricist)

*SATURDAY NIGHT

Sondheim's first Broadway musical, abandoned when its producer
died.  Several of its songs have been recorded in anthologies
(see below).

*A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM

A fast-paced farce in which the songs serve as interludes.
The film dropped many of the songs and was overproduced, but
does preserve the performances of Mostel and Gilford.

>OC: Bay Cities CD (scheduled also for reissue on Broadway
     Angel).
   - Cast: Zero Mostel, Jack Gilford.

*ANYONE CAN WHISTLE

A 9-performance flop.

>OC: CBS CD; the CD adds music omitted from the LP.
   - Cast: Angela Lansbury (her first musical), Lee Remick, Harry
           Guardino.

*EVENING PRIMROSE

Based on a short story; score comprises only 4 songs. No
recording except for a medley of the songs on Mandy Patinkin's
"Dress Casual" CD (Bernadette Peters as guest artist).

*COMPANY

The show that established Sondheim's stature, a mixture
of musical and revue with urban life and personal commitment
as the themes.

Tony awards:  Musical, Music, Lyrics, Book, Director, Scenic
              Design
>OC: CBS CD.
   - Cast: Dean Jones, Barbara Barrie, Elaine Stritch, Donna

     replacement, Larry Kert (to be reissued on CD on English CBS).
V>Video documentary of recording session: RCA Video.

*FOLLIES

None of the three recordings conveys the full stature of
this score and show, arguably Sondheim's finest.  The first
is too truncated, the second inattentive to dramatic values,
the third unwisely revised; all are seriously incomplete.

Tony awards:  Music and Lyrics, Director, Choreographer,
     Scenic Design, Costumes, Lighting, Actress (Alexis
     Smith)
>OC: Broadway Angel CD.

*************************************************************************
** 7. FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED MUSICALS  ************************************
*************************************************************************

7.1 CHESS versions/recordings [ELN]

The "original" CHESS recording is the black & white "London" CHESS.
This is the concept album, recorded when they were touring with the
show in England as a concert to raise money to stage it.  They got the
money, songs became top 10 hits, and they put it on as a musical with
Michael Bennett as the director.  They ended up with most of the
touring singers as the actors, so they did not record the London Cast
Album even though there were changes to the show.  Michael Bennett
died shortly before the show went up, and Trevor Nunn was hired.  He
did not like Bennett's work, and when the show moved to Broadway he
took the opportunity to re-work the show in his own style.  Likewise,
the politics of the show were updated to reflect the current
situation. The Broadway version, with a new director, new cast, plot
changes, and some songs added and dropped, was recorded as "the
Original Broadway Cast Recording".  This recording has the red, white
and blue logo with the figures running.  The show didn't do as well as
hoped (closing after running only a few months), so the next few
productions did more plot changes and more song re-arranging.  None of
these productions has been officially recorded.

Andrew Lloyd Webber often released albums of the music in order to
gauge the reaction and raise money.  JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and EVITA
were handled this way.  Since Tim Rice had worked with ALW, he knew
the "Original Concept Album" was a Good Thing.

Current licensed productions of CHESS are based on the Broadway
production.  Changing the show to be more like the London Concept
Album is considered a breech of copyright, and the show will be shut
down.  (see archives on CHESS)


7.2 JEKYLL AND HYDE [HN]

JEKYLL AND HYDE was first issued as a concept recording on BMG
featuring Colm Wilkinson and Linda Eder.  The stage production had its
world premiere in Houston (see below).  J&H has never played New York
or London.  A Broadway production, directed by Vivian Matalon (THE TAP
DANCE KID) and starring Terrence Mann, was not mounted in the spring
of 1993, as was planned.  Wildhorn's concept album THE SCARLET
PIMPERNEL, featuring Eder, was released in 1993.

>From Hung K.M. Nguyen [[e-mail]], Nov 1991:

Jekyll and Hyde has music by Frank Wildhorn (previously best known as
a pop composer--he has penned hits for the likes of Whitney Houston)
and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, who has won virtually every award in
the business. The show previewed here in Houston, where it became
immensely popular and held over twice. The stars are Chuck Wagner (one
of the princes in the orig. cast of Stephen Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS)
and Linda Eder, a newcomer with a marvelous voice which reminds many
folks of Streisand.

I saw the show twice and found it terrific. The Houston cast sang it
as well as I've ever seen any show performed (and i've seen many). The
characterizations are good, Wagner making an imposing figure on stage
with his rich voice and 6'5" frame. The actor (can't recall the name)
playing the villain nearly steals the show with his outstandingly
slimy portrayal. Eder, while still needing much seasoning as an
actress, is an absolutely marvelous singer (Bricusse calls her the
best he's worked with in his 22 years of winning oscars and emmys and
tonys) who gets all of the best (sad) songs and uses them well to melt
the audience in her role as the prostitute/victim. There is an amusing
barroom scene.

The "Concept album" features Eder with the great Colm Wilkinson (of
Les Miserables fame; he's the orig. Valjean) and features most of the
songs used in the shows I saw (a couple of whiny/wimpy cuts have been
wisely trimmed from the show).

7.3 CARRIE [AK]

[Most of the following information comes from Ken Mandelbaum's
 book "Not Since Carrie: 40 Years of Broadway Musical Flops"
 St. Martin's Press, ISBN 0-312-06428-4.  An entertaining read, and
 highly recommended.]

Yes, there indeed was a musical based on Stephen King's 1974 novel.
A workshop of the musical was done in 1984, with book by Lawrence D.
Cohen (who also wrote the screenplay of Brian DePalma's movie),
music by Michael Gore (FAME, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT), and lyrics by
Dean Pitchford (FAME, FOOTLOOSE).  The Broadway production was
financed by Friedrich Kurz, a West German producer famous up to
that point for producing German productions of ALW hits, and co-
produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company (they had no financial
stake in the show).  The Anglo-American cast, headed by Linzi
Hateley as Carrie and Barbara Cook as Mrs. White, had a brief
sold out run at Stratford upon Avon in February 1988.  Cook was
nearly decapitated by the set on opening night, and left after the
show finished its Stratford run.  When the show began previews on
Broadway on April 28, 1988, Mrs. White was played by Betty
Buckley.  After two weeks of previews, CARRIE opened May 12, 1988 to
horrible reviews (but praise for Hateley and Buckley) and closed on
May 15, 1988, four performances later.  The production lost $8 million.

Audience reaction was reportedly wildly mixed, ranging from boos to
cheers and wild applause.  Those who have heard the show's music
have said that it compares favorably with modern pop/middle-of-the-road
scores, most partcularly, CHESS.  Sadly, a cast recording was never
made, as was initially planned.  A concert version of the show,
to be recorded, also fell through, although the song "When There's
No One" appears on Betty Buckley's solo album "Children Will Listen".
At the end of 1993, there was renewed talk of a cast recording being
made.

   Explanation of Categories:

   Cast Recordings: lists all cast recordings, including studio recordings
   Solo Recordings
   Singles: the release of singles for radio airplay is more common
            in the UK, so many recordings listed here may only be
            available as imports
   Other Recordings: this list includes compilation recordings (where
                     the singer in question may have included only
                     a single track), "guest appearances" on
                     the solo recordings of others, and movie soundtracks.
   Music Video: like Singles, more of a UK phenomenon, so these may
                be difficult to find in the US.  Note that the
                North American and European video standards (NTSC and
                PAL, respectively) are NOT compatible, and converting
                between the two is expensive.
   Other Video: full length concert or theatrical performance; some
