30 Days of Musicals Meme
Sep. 21st, 2010 05:08 pm6. A musical that was cut too short.
Martin Guerre, the original cast. It wasn't a perfect show, and it didn't have the scale of Les Miserables or Miss Saigon, but I loved the intimacy of the story. Plus I've seen a video of the production, and it was a wonderful, simple, elegant staging. The plot could have used work, but it didn't need the butchering and re-writing that happened for the 1999 version. I am fond of some of the altered songs in the 1999 version, but give me the original recording any day.
