• Marry Me A Little (Stephen Sondheim*/Craig Lucas & Norman René) - 10/26/97 - Flushing, NY: Brent Barrett, Sally Mayes <R NM [1] (I can find absolutely nothing about this production, but I'm thankful that someone taped it - as usual, Brent and Sally rock the proverbial casbah)
• More Than You Deserve (Jim Steinman/Jim Steinman & Michael Weller/Michael Weller) - 1974? - Public Theater: Fred Gwynne, Kimberly Farr U NM (INCOMPLETE: Missing all of Act II after "If Only" (about 40 minutes in); Quality is great for such an old tape; Title song later became a tune for Meat Loaf)

CD [1] (INCOMPLETE: Songs only; The cast also included, among others, Jason Alexander and Nancy Opel, but I'm not entirely sure whether or not it's them on this recording; Aside from some odd background noise on a few tracks, sound is super-clear; May include unrecorded material, but I'm not familiar with the London cast album of the show)

Lawrence (King Maximilliam/Abbe Sebastian/Fernando), Marilyn Cooper (Mama Chiaramonte), Loni Ackerman (Robert), Ralph Byers (Pope Pius VII), Jane White (Madam Paulina) R U NM (LaChiusa's one really great score, although matched to an incomprehensible book - too bad it wasn't recorded (was it?); Sound varies from good to okay; Flips in both acts are during songs ("Never Can Tell" in Act I, "Addio, Bambino" in Act II))

Farina (Cockian), Bryan Johnson (Captain), Marc O'Donnell (Andos), Megan Morrison (Kiki), Randi Megibow (Marsyas), Gloria Ptak (The Wife), Will Erat (Servillus) R U (Strong Schmidt/Jones score; Score was recorded but was very rare and never issued on CD)

Cromwell (George/Various), Michael Cone (Aunt Maida/Various), Jonathan Hadley (Burt Rogers/Various) U [1] 2CD (Amusing and funny show about a gossip columnist and her assistant, although some of the references will get very dated very fast; Sound is quite quiet, with some odd background noise - not sure how it'll sound when transferred to tape; Includes pre-show speeches by York Artistic Director James Morgan and Director Jay Berkow)

"Buzzey" Hale), David Duffield (Red Ike), Peter Barent Lewis (Black Ike), Jack Dabdoub (The Verdigree Marshall) U (Occasionally very quiet because reading was unmiked; Nice score)

Diaz (Catherine/Various), Ed Dixon (Charles/Various), Charlotte Rae (Berthe), Sara Gettelfinger (Fastrada/Various), Ramzi Khalaf (Theo/Various) UM (Score was almost completely reorchestrated and rearranged (badly, for the most part - a doo-wop "War Is A Science," a techno "Glory," dance arrangments similar to Aida's but far worse), with some slight alterations to the book and score; Includes some unrecorded material (Various small reprises, the first act finale (a reprise of "Magic To Do"), the Entr'acte, "There He Was," "Prayer For A Duck," the new ending), but drops the unrecorded "Welcome Home, Son"; Be glad you don't have to see the awful choreography)

• Sayonara (George Fischoff/Hy Gilbert/William Luce) - 12/24/87 - Richard White (Major Lloyd "Ace" Gruver), June Angela (Hana-ogi), Kevin Sweeney (Private Joe Kelly), Miho (Katsumi), Colleen Fitzpatrick (Eileen Webster), Ako (Fumiko) U NM (Includes much material that was later rewritten or removed; No song list; Sometimes difficult to understand words)

• Victor/Victoria (Henry Mancini + Frank Wildhorn/Leslie Bricusse/Blake Edwards) - 12/1/00 - Judy McLane (Victoria Grant), Lee Roy Reamms (Caroll "Toddy" Todd), Robert Cuccioli (King Marchan), Tara O'Brien (Norma Cassidy), Jody Ashworth (Squash), Leisa Mather (Street Singer/Various) UM (Primarily follows the version used for the tour with Toni Tennille, so the unrecorded "Who Can I Tell" is at the end of Act I, "Crazy World" is after "You And Me," and "Paris Makes Me Horny" is cut, but "Louis Says" is at the top of Act II instead of the tour's "Attitude"; There is a bunch of annoying audience noise during the Entr'Acte and "Louis Says")
• Windy City (Tony Macaulay/Dick Vosburgh*) - 1985 - Gary Sandy (Hildy Johnson), Ron Holgate (Walter Burns), Judy Kaye (Mollie Molloy) R UM NM S? [1] (INCOMPLETE: Songs only, with selected dialogue; Great sound, although some minor noises seem to indicate that it was an audience tape; Score heavily revised from the London production: includes a different Overture and Entr'Acte, the new (or cut from the OLC album) songs "Hold Page One" (replacing and incorporating portions of "Hey, Hallelujah"), "He Never Even Touched Me" (which splits up "Waltz For Mollie"), "Election Song" (Replaces "Saturday"), "Ten Years From Now" (replacing and incorporating portions of "Long Night Again Tonight") and a reprise, "A Born Reporter" (replacing "Nobody Walks Over Me"), "Times We Had" (an extended version of the first part of "Saturday (Reprise)"), "Natalie" (which uses the same music and many of the same lyrics as as "Saturday (Reprise)" and capitalizes on the renaming of Amanda Green as Natalie) and a reprise, "The Day I Quit This Rag" (an extended version of the first part of "Windy City"), and "Finaletto" (a brief Act I Finale which uses bits of "Wait Till I Get You On Your Own" and "Windy City"), along with reprises of "Windy City" and Round In Circles"; There's a slight musical change to the chorus of "Round In Circles" and an additional section (for Walter Burns) of "Bensinger's Poem"; There's also an instrumental-with-dialogue sequence near in Act I (between the reprise of "Ten Years From Now" and "Finaletto") that I don't think is on the Chicago tape)

Goodspeed Opera House/Goodspeed-At-Chester (Norma Terris Theatre)

• Arthur: The Musical (Michael Skloff/Marta Kauffman & David Crane*) - 9/22/91 - Opera House: Gregg Edelman (Arthur Bach), Carolee Carmello (Linda Marolla), Michael Allinson (Hobson), Jane Kean (Martha Bach), Jan Neuberger (Susan Johnson) R U NM (INCOMPLETE: Has almost all music (missing small bits of "The Date," "Champagne," and "One More Day") but missing substantial dialogue - some between "Fun" and "We'll Get Through This," all between "Love In Bergdorf Goodman" and "Okay/Really Great Mood," some between "I Love A Romance" and "You Can't Have Everything," possibly some between "Magical Night" and "What I Never Knew," all between "Can I Live Without The Man/Attilla's There/The Huns Are Marching Home" and "A Job I Highly Recommend," all between "One More Day" and "We'll Get Through This (reprise)," some between "Okay (reprise)" and "Fun (reprise)"; None of this stops the score from being fantastic, but I know there are better tapes of the show, just I haven't come across any of this production)
• Dear World (Jerry Herman*/Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee + David Thompson) - 11/24/00 (Matinee) - Norma Terris: Sally Ann Howes (Countess Aurelia), Guy Stroman (Sewerman), Diane J.

• *Love Match (David Shire/Richard Maltby, Jr./Christian Hamilton) - 1970 - Patricia Routledge (Queen Victoria), Laurence Guittard (Prince Albert) U NM S CD [1] (Lovely Maltby/Shire score, although the show closed on the road; Several of the songs were later used in Starting Here, Starting Now)

Brown), Don Chastain, Philip Thomas (Cully Surroga?), Sorrell Booke, Seth Allen, Delores Hall U NM S? CD [1] (INCOMPLETE: Songs only with some dialogue; About 73 minutes; Defies all rational description - I think it's about a Hollywood starlet whoo joins a strange cult, gets kicked out for singing a song about Jesus being a hermaphrodite, and then leaps to her death off the "Hollywood" sign, but I'm not entirely sure; Closed after three previews, and with very good reason; Probably a soundboard tape)
• Parade (Jason Robert Brown*/Alfred Uhry) - 10/13/99 - 5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle: David Pittu (Leo Frank), Andrea Burns (Lucille Frank), Randy Redd (Britt Craig), Keith Byron Kirk (Jim Conley), Rick Hilsabeck (Governor John Slaton), Donald Grody (Old Soldier/Judge Roan), Jeff Edgerton (Young Soldier/Fiddlin' John/Various), Daniel Frank Kelley (Frankie Epps), Peter Samuel (Hugh Dorsey), John Leslie Wolfe (Tom Watson), Adinah Alexander (Mrs. Phagan), Kristen Bowden (Mary Phagan), Ray Aranha (Newt Lee) R UM NM 2CD (Includes all the material cut for the cast album: "Watson's Lullabye," "Somethin' Ain't Right," "Newt Lee's Testimony," and various reprises and transitions, as well as the new opening of Act II which replaced "It Goes On And On" for the tour; Phenomenal recording - copied from the digital master)

• Reuben, Reuben - 10/55 - Shubert Theatre, Boston: Eddie Albert (Reuben), Evelyn Lear, Kaye Ballard (The Countess) U NM S (Formerly the strangest musical I'd ever heard - mostly incomprehensible - but then I heard Mary C. Brown And The Hollywood Sign; Missing small parts along the way; Some lovely music, but mostly thoroughly bizarre)

"Lorax" sequence; Some talky kids show up on the tape, but aren't particularly intrusive)
• Shogun (Paul Chihara/John Driver*) - 1990  - Washington, DC: Peter Karrie (John Blackthorne), June Angela (Mariko), Francis Ruivivar (Toranaga) U NM (Includes much material that was cut before Broadway, along with original leading man Karrie; I defy you to follow the plot)

• Woman Of The Year (John Kander/Fred Ebb/Peter Stone) - Date Unknown - National Tour, LA: Lauren Bacall (Tess Harding), Harry Guardino (Sam Craig) S UM NM CD [1] (INCOMPLETE: Songs only with bits of dialogue; Contains tons of stuff different from the cast album, including the added song  "Open The Window, Sam," the song "The Two Of Us," which was cut from the OBC album, and completely rewritten versions of the Overture, "Woman Of The Year," and the Finale (now a reprise of the title song instead of "We're Gonna Work It Out"); Sound quality varies, but always very good)

Buntrock (Valentine LaMar), Alice Ripley (Billie Smith), Jeff Dumas (Gus Fielding), Rachel Rockwell (Dolores Reynolds), Melissa Rain Anderson (Baby Rose), George Wendt(! - Sheriff Reynolds) NM <1G> (Missing a bit of dialogue after "Way Out West"; Chicago's equivalent of Encores!; Will be sent on one 120 minute tape)

• The Fields Of Ambrosia (Martin Silvestri/Joel Higgins*) - 1996 - George Street Playhouse, New Brunswick, NJ: Joel Higgins (Jonas Candide), Christine Andreas (Gretchen Herzallerliebst), Eddie Korbich (Jimmy) R UM NM (Excellent show with magnificent unappreciated score - HIGHLY recommended; Includes lots of material that didn't make it onto the London cast album (the show is sung through), along with a much shorter "Ball And Chain," some different lyrics in "Reasonable Man," and a different tune in the chorus of "All In This Together")

• *Golden Boy (Charles Strouse/Lee Adams + Charles Strouse/Clifford Odets + William Gibson + Keith Glover) - 11/10/00 - Long Wharf Theatre, New Haven, CT - Rodney Hicks (Joe Bonaparte), Michael Rupert (Tom Moody), Nana Visitor (Lorna Moon), Doug Eskew (Mr. Bonaparte), Frank Mastrone (Tokio), Peter Jay Fernandez (Eddie Sateen), Milton Craig Nealy (Ronnie Jefferson), David St. Louis (Frank Lane), Harriet D. Foy (Annie Bonaparte Jefferson) R UM2CD NM (See entry below for a full description of the changes made for this production - this recording, however, includes some droopped dialogue and has better sound)

Foy (Annie Bonaparte Jefferson) UM (Includes a heavily revised book and score, with 13 unrecorded songs (The new "Workout Song," "Playing The Game," "Natural African Man," "Butterfly" and its reprise, "Yes, Yes, Yes," "Everybody's Got A Price," "What Am I Gonna Do Without You?," and "One More Chance," plus the restored "The Road Tour," "Yes, I Can," and "He's A Jolly Good Fellow" and a reprise of "Stick Around" for Joe and Tom), along with heavily revised versions of four songs ("Gimme Some," "Don't Forget 127th Street," "Colorful," and "No More"); There's some minor clipping because the show was so disgustingly overmiked (little enough to be mostly unintrusive, enough to be annoying); There's a momentary, almost unnoticeable skip during "Yes, I Can"; Excellent work from Hicks, Rupert, and Eskew)
• Guys and Dolls (Frank Loesser*/Jo Swerling & Abe Burrows)- 12/22/99 - Arena Stage, Washington, DC: Maurice Hines (Nathan Detroit), Brian Sutherland (Sky Masterson), Diane Sutherland (Sarah Brown), Alexandra Foucard (Adelaide), Wayne W. Pretlow (Nicely-Nicely Johnson) Terrence Currier (Arvide)
• Halloween (Mitch Leigh/Sidney Michaels*) - 1972 - Florida State University Theatre: Jose Ferrer (Charley Beddoes), Dick Shawn (Jerome Lieberwitz), Barbara Cook (Victoria Bascombe) U S NM (INCOMPLETE: Songs only with some dialogue; For Barbara Cook nuts and masochists only - this show sucks with a capital S-U-C-K-S; There are three numbers on the songlist (the Overture, "Nothing I've Ever Read," and "Come To These Holy Arms") that were either not recorded or were cut by the time of the recording)
• Harmony (Barry Manilow/Bruce Sussman*) - 11/30/97 (Final Matinee) - La Jolla Playhouse, La Jolla, CA: Danny Burstein (Rabbi), Steven Goldstein (Erich), Patrick Wilson (Chopin), Rebecca Luker (Mary), Janet Metz (Ruth), Thom Christopher Warren (Harry), James Clow (Bobby), Mark Chmiel (Lesh), Thursday Farrar (Josephine Baker), Jodi Stevens (Marlene Dietrich) R U NM (Surprisingly strong score - sounds nothing like Manilow's usual work; About the Comedian Harmonists, but a hell of a lot better than Band In Berlin; Missing bits of dialogue at the flips; Sound is slightly fuzzy after the Act II flip until a bit into "Threnody"; Includes a BC/EFA speech at the curtain call)
• The Hidden Sky (Peter Foley*/Kate Chisholm) - 3/18/00 - Prince Music Theatre, Philadelphia, PA: Ana Maria Andricain (Ganil Kalson), Cesar Samayoa (Mede), Kenneth Cavett (Lee/Various), Phyllis Bash (Yin) U NM 2CD (Slightly muffled, but generally clear;  Interesting score, but difficult plot (based on an Ursula K.

• Jane Eyre (Paul Gordon/Paul Gordon + John Caird/John Caird) - 1999 - La Jolla Playhouse, La Jolla, CA: Marla Schaffel (Jane Eyre), James Barbour (Edward Rochester), Mary Stout (Mrs. Fairfax) UM NM (Excellent sound from a digital master; Includes lots of unrecorded and/or cut material, since the show is pretty much through-sung; Some dialogue has been cut from the recording)
• *The Last Five Years (Jason Robert Brown) - 6/29/01 - Northlight Theatre, Skokie, IL: Norbert Leo Butz (Jamie), Lauren Kennedy (Kathleen) R U CD (Exceptional piece, exceptionally performed; Slightly harsh sound)

R U 2CD (A fascinating opera/musical, with a gorgeous score, although the plot is a little hard to follow; The singers weren't miked and are sometimes overwhelmed by the orchestra)
• Mack and Mabel (Jerry Herman*/Michael Stewart + Francine Pascal) - 7/18/99 (Closing Performance) - Barrington Stage Company, Sheffield, MA: JJeff McCarthy (Mack Sennett), Kelli Rabke (Mabel Normand), Kathryn Kendall (Lottie), Will Erat (Frank) NM <1G> (Distortion during loud parts, but totally listenable)
• Mail (Michael Rupert + Brian (Stokes) Mitchell/Jerry Colker*) - 1988 - Pasadena Playhouse, Pasadena, CA: Michael Rupert (Alex Berkowitz), Mara Getz (Dana Kass), Antonia Ellis (Sandi), Brian (Stokes) Mitchell (Franklin), Robert Mandan (Max Berkowitz), Mary Bond Davis (Various) U NM (Nice rock-based score, but makes very little sense without knowing the plot or concept: a man comes back to his apartment after four months of "finding himself" and has to deal with the backed-up mail (really, it's better than it sounds);  Sound is pretty good - there's some noise, though, and the first couple of minutes of the second side of each tape isn't spectacular;  Cast unverified, but I'm assuming it's the same as that of the Broadway production;  Includes some material that was changed for the Broadway engagement (or at least the current performance script), most noticeably a lot of rearranged dialogue, "Monolithic Madness" without any dialogue before or during it, a different "Hit The Ground Runnin'" (a solo for Dana right after Alex leaves), a different duet for Alex and Dana right after he comes back (built on what is now the bridge of "Hit The Ground Runnin'"), some different lyrics for "It's None Of My Business" (here titled "By The Same Token"), no "You Better Get Out Of Town," a rather different "One Step At A Time" that uses more of "Ambivalent Rag," and "Crazy World" is only at the end, so there's nothing in its place in Act I and something else in place of the reprises of it and "A Blank Piece Of Paper" near the end)
• Martin Guerre (Roger Ames/Laura Harrington) - 1993 - Hartford Stage, Hartford, CT: Judy Kuhn (Mireille de Rols), Patrick Cassidy (Arnaud du Tilh), Malcolm Gets (Martin Guerre), Beth Fowler, Cris Groenendaal U NM [1] (INCOMPLETE: Songs only (probably incomplete in that respect, as well) with almost no dialogue - under 50 minutes; Perhaps the biggest anticlimax I've run across in my trading career - I had this on the top of my want list, then I finally get it and it stinks; Some interesting music, I suppose, but the lyrics are lousy; Harrington and Ames have collaborated before on operas, which should give you an idea of where their priorities lie; Almost all of the dialogue has been eliminated from the tape, so unless you're familiar with the story (and who isn't these days?), you'll be completely lost - I am and I still can't figure out what's going on sometimes; Even the sound isn't very good)
• Men (Jimmy Roberts/Joe DiPietro*) - 11/26/00 - American Stage Company, Bergen Community College, Paramus, NJ: Jordan Leeds (Tom Ambrose), Tom Zemon (Sebastian), Marylee Graffeo (Lucy Ambrose), Andrea Chamberlain (Female Critic/Various), Larry Raben (Male Critic/Various) (Very nice new musical from the authors of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change; Some sound is a little screwy, but that's because the sound system in the theatre was awful and I was sitting right in front of a speaker; Much stronger, more organic score than I ever expected, with a couple of thoroughly excellent songs ("The Better Man Won," "Because," and "The Life Of My American Dream" top the list))
• Moby Dick (Doug Katsaros/Mark St. Germain*) - 9/96 - Ohio workshop/production: Kenneth Kramer (Captain Ahab), Brandon Tate (Pip), Doug Katsaros (Starbuck), Mark Heffernan (Ishmael), Christopher Gales (Queequeg), John Popa (Elijah), Richard D.

Fetty (Dr. Bunger/Captain Gardener), Robert Parenti (Carpenter), Jack Frient (Peleg) U S NM <2G?> (Superb sound, aside from a few barely noticeable skips; Cast (Katsaros aside) is unknowns, but generally very good (although Tate is pretty grating); Very strong score; An earlier version was presented at the York in the mid-80s, and a revised version is now intended for Broadway; Will be sent on one 120-minute tape)
• Nicolette And Aucassin (David Friedman/Peter Kellogg*) - 9/9/00 (Final Matinee) - Westport Country Playhouse, Westport, CT: Jeremy Webb (Aucassin), Darlesia Cearcy (Nicolette), Bronson Pinchot (Valere), Bill Buell (Count de Beauclaire), Chuck Cooper (King Mostansir), Nancy Anderson (Gwendolyn), Richard White (Count de Valence), James Judy (Lord Montescu), Jennifer Allen (Nun) U 2CD (Sound is very good because I was right in front of a speaker; Amusing, although the dialogue is all written in rhyme and starts to grate after a while)
• Night Governess (Polly Pen) - 5/21/00 (Final Matinee) - McCarter Theatre, Princeton, NJ: Judith Blazer, John Jellison, Robert Sella, Danny Gurwin, Erin Hill, Mary Stout, Alma Cuervo, Danielle Ferland U NM <1G> (Missing small parts of songs at flips; Sound is okay; Songlist allegedly forthcoming)

Shepperd (Bill), Reed Birney (Hank) R U NM <1G> [1] (INCOMPLETE: Songs only with some dialogue; Includes 11 songs not on the demo (22 total); Nice, jazzy score with some really strong parts (the fantastic "Nobody Can Touch Me" and a very funny eleven-o'clocker entitled "Bad Guys From Toledo" come to mind); Includes the song "No More Mr. Nice Guy," which was added late in the run, and the overture and the songs "Best Of All, You" and "Hot In Here," which were cut before New York; Too bad the person didn't tape the whole show (*glare in his direction*), because the dialogue was great)
• Pippin!  Pippin! (Stephen Schwartz*/Ron Strauss) - 1967 Carnegie Mellon University cast album S U NM CD [1] (Completely different score from Pippin, and I don't believe that any of this music has shown up in any other Schwartz works; About 54 minutes)
• Promises, Promises (Burt Bacharach/Hal David/Neil Simon) - 2/4/01 - Ovations!, Chicago, IL: Jason Graae (Chuck Baxter), Susan Moniz (Fran Kubelik), George Hearn (J.D. Sheldrake), Rosalyn Rahn Kerins (Marge MacDougall), Dick Latessa (Dr. Dreyfuss), Catherine Lord (Peggy Olsen) UM NM <1G> (Not bad sound; Follows a condensation of the Encores! text, so includes the new (although, by now, four years old) song "You've Got It All Wrong")
• Queen Of The Stardust Ballroom (Billy Goldenberg/Alan Bergman & Marilyn Bergman/Jerome Kass) - 1992 - Long Beach CLO, Terrace Theatre, Long Beach, CA: Tyne Daly (Bea Asher), Charles Durning (Al O'Hara), Claiborne Cary (Angie), Eileen Barnett (Diane), Richard Romanus (Vince U NM (Heavily revised version of Ballroom that keeps only eight songs from the original ("A Terrific Band And A Real Nice Crowd," "A Song For Dancin'," "Dreams," "Somebody Did Alright For Herself," "Goodnight Is Not Goodbye," "Dreams (Reprise)," "Fifty Percent," and "I Love To Dance") and inserts 14 that are either new or cut from the original (Including the great cut songs "Who Gave You Permission?" and "The Job Application"); Daly fluctuates between great and awful (the end of "Fifty Percent" is painful), Durning can't sing; The show was sent to me on two 60s - the flips are during "A Terrific Band And A Real Nice Crowd" in Act I and during some instrumental music in Act II, but nothing is missing)
• The Rhythm Club (Matt Sklar/Chad Beguelin*) - 9/5/00 (First Preview) - Signature Theatre, Arlington, VA: Jeremy Kushnier (Jake Beck), Lauren Kennedy (Petra Wolff), Tim Martin Gleason (Adam Gernstein), Megan Lawrence (Greta Hauser), Barbara Walsh (Miriam Gernstein), Florence Lacey (Anna Wolff), Larry Cahn (John Gernstein), Kirk McDonald (Samuel Krause), Kevin Kern (Thomas Berndt), Buzz Mauro (Gustav Herbert), Jonathan Hogan (Herr Kroger), Marsh Hanson (Jimmy Kingston) R U (Highest possible recommendation - amazing show; Includes some material which has apparently been changed along the way)
• Romeo and Juliet (Terrence Mann & Jerome Korman/William Shakespeare + Terrence Mann*) - 9/4/99 - Ordway Music Theatre, St. Paul, MN: Patrick Wilson (Romeo), Irene Molloy (Juliet) U NM<2G> (Sound occasionally cuts out for a few seconds at a time, but almost never during music)

Simmons (u/s Will Gartshore - Buddy Foster - First/Only Performance), Eric Jordan Young (Jake), Michael Sharp (The Boss) UM (A few lines are lost to the lack of miking; This production cut the Dance Of The Freaks and the second part of "Beautiful Day For A Wedding")

(replaced by "Forgotten Lullaby"), along with dropped segments of "This Wide Woods," "Shoot The Moon," "Come Alive Again/Dear Mrs. Ferguson," and "Way Back Home"; Missing the very ends of "Something's Cookin' At The Spitfire Grill" and "Digging Stone," as well as all of "Wild Bird," although the cut from the demo (of better quality than the actual copy of the demo that I have) is in its place; Sounds like Steven Pasquale as Joe Sutter, but I have no confirmation of that)
• Svengali (Frank Wildhorn/Gregory Boyd*) - 1991(?) - Alley Theatre, Houston, TX: Chuck Wagner (Svengali), Linda Eder (Trilby), Jason Workman (Billie), Philip Hoffman (Gecko) U NM 2CD (Okay quality; Wildhorn's best overall score; Complete cast and songlist unknown)

• What The World Needs Now (Burt Bacharach/Hal David/Kenny Solms & Gillian Lynne) - 4/26/98 - Old Globe Theatre, San Diego, CAA: Lewis Cleale (Alfie), Sutton Foster (Jennifer), John Bolton (Arnie), Paula Newsome (Liz) NM (Amusingly misguided attempt to create a narrative musical around Bacharach and David songs (something that I'm sure could be done, but wasn't by Solms and Lynne); Very well sung, although unfulfilling in that many songs appear in the score very briefly as fragments; Parts of "Paper Maché" and "Alfie (Reprise)" are missing because of the flips in Acts I and II respectively)
• Windy City (Tony Macaulay/Dick Vosburgh*) - 1984 - Marriot Lincolnshire, Chicago, IL: Kurt Johns (Hildy Johnson), Ron Holgate (Walter Burns), Vanessa Shaw (Mollie Molloy), Paula Scrofano (Natalie) R UM NM S (Great sound, although performers are somtimes overwhelmed by orchestra; Score heavily revised from the London production: includes a different Overture and Entr'Acte, the new (or cut from the OLC album) songs "Hold Page One" (replacing and incorporating portions of "Hey, Hallelujah"), "He Never Even Touched Me" (which splits up "Waltz For Mollie"), "Election Song" (Replaces "Saturday"), "Ten Years From Now" (replacing and incorporating portions of "Long Night Again Tonight") and a reprise, "A Born Reporter" (replacing "Nobody Walks Over Me"), "Times We Had" (an extended version of the first part of "Saturday (Reprise)"), "Natalie" (which uses the same music and many of the same lyrics as as "Saturday (Reprise)" and capitalizes on the renaming of Amanda Green as Natalie) and a reprise, "The Day I Quit This Rag" (an extended version of the first part of "Windy City"), and "Finaletto" (a brief Act I Finale which uses bits of "Wait Till I Get You On Your Own" and "Windy City"), along with reprises of "Waltz For Mollie," "Windy City," and Round In Circles"; There's a slight musical change to the chorus of "Round In Circles" and an additional section (for Walter Burns) of "Bensinger's Poem"; There are strange momentary breaks where the sound backtracks for a moment during "Times We Had," the finale, and dialogue between "Waltz For Mollie (Reprise)" and "Windy City (Reprise)"; There's some dialogue missing at the flips (after "A Born Reporter" in Act I and just before "Bensinger's Poem" in Act II)
• Working (Various*/Stephen Schwartz & Nina Faso) - 3/7/99 - Long Wharf Theatre, Hartford, CT: Alix Korey, Emily Skinner, Pamela Isaacs, Ken Prymus, John Herrera, Ann Harada, Rex Robbins, Gavin DeGraw, Matthew Saldwar U NM [1] (Original score was recorded but has yet to be released on CD; Includes the new songs "Traffic Jam" and "I'm Just Movin'"; Drops the original production's "Neat To Be A Newsboy," "Treasure Island Trio," "If I Could've Been," and "Joe,"; Missing some dialogue along the way - may be incomplete)

• Napoleon (Timothy Williams/Andrew Sabiston/Timothy Williams & Andrew Sabiston) - 11/15/00 - Shaftesbury Theatre: Uwe Kr&oumml;ger (Napoleon Bonaparte), Anastasia Barzee (Josephine), David Burt (Talleyrand), Nigel Richards (Lucien Bonaparte), Jody Crosier (Anton), David Arneil (Fouché), Teddy Kempner (Garrau), Sarah Ingram (Thérèse), Lynsey Britton (Clarice), Tom Sellwood (Charles) R UM NM (Great sound, aside from some hiss; Missing small bits at the flips (during "Eighteenth Of Brumaire" in Act I and "Exile Of The Heart" in Act II) and a small bit about five minutes into Act I Side B (right at the the end of "Eighteenth Of Brumaire"), and cuts off right at the end of the show - missing the bows and exit music;  In addition to massive amounts of material that simply wasn't recorded on the Toronto album, much of what was has been revised (among many other things, "The Victim's Ball" is almost completely different); Great score, thinks I, and Uwe is phenomenal)
• No Way To Treat A Lady - 9/20/89 - OLC: David Burt (Morris Brummell), Martin Smith (Kit Gill), Susannah Fellowes (Sarah Stone), Vivienne Martin, Barbara Young UM NM S [1] (INCOMPLETE: Songs only with some dialogue; Cuts off after "I Have Noticed A Change"; Includes the cut songs "Five More Minutes" (much longer than on the 1987 off-Broadway recording), "A Very Funny Thing," and "Sarah's Touch," along with bunches of dropped lyrics; Good sound generally, but much hiss, and there's some clipping on loud portions)

• Worzel Gummidge (Denis King/Keith Waterhouse & Willis Hall*) - 1981/1982 - Extremely rare/obscure OLC album: Cast unknown (Jon Pertwee?) U NM CD [1] (Amusing stuff, with one really great song ("Why Should She Choose A Scarecrow?"); I'm in the process of hunting down the info for this; Based on a TV series (itself based on a series of children's books) about a living scarecrow; About 40 minutes)

• Grand Hotel (Robert Wright & George Forrest + Maury Yeston/Robert Wright & George Forrest + Maury Yeston + Unknown/Luther Davis + Peter Stone + Unknown) - 1991? - Radio Broadcast/Theatre Des Westerrns, Berlin: Leslie Caron (Elizaveta Grushinskaya), Helmut Baumann (Otto Kringelein), Michelle Becker (Flaemmchen) UM NM S (Translator and full cast unknown (I have a list of the principals, but not who plays which roles mostly); Includes "The Boston Merger," "Everybody's Doing It," "No Encore," the full "Love Can't Happen," and other material that didn't make the Broadway album; Excellent sound; Missing an almost imperceptible bit of "Bonjour Amour")

• *12/20/01 - Jerry Dixon, La Chanze R CD [1] (Stereo; A bit of flattening on a few very loud moments, but mostly great sound; Nobody sings anything, but a very enjoyable listen anyway)

• *Larry Grossman And Friends (Larry Grossman/Various/No Book) - 2001 - Joe's Pub: with Christopher Sieber, Andrea Burns, Dee Hoty UM NM CD [1] (Great soundboard recording; Includes 21 songs total, 8 unrecorded; Grossman is one of my favorite composers, and this is a great showcase for his work - would that it were longer than just 88 minnutes)
• Lee Jordan Interviews The Cast Of Company (Stephen Sondheim*/No Book) - 1971 - Promotional Album: Lee Jordan, Hal Prince, Dean Jones, Barbara Barrie, Elaine Stritch, Stephen Sondheim UM NM CD [1] (Includes interviews by Jordan with aformentioned people; Includes almost unpalatably cheesy performances (not by the OBC) of 7 songs from the score, some with slightly different lyrics; Runs about 50 minutes)
• *MCC Benefit (Various/No Book) - 4/2/01 - Patti LuPone, Peter Gallagher, Donna Murphy, Taylor Dayne, Adam Pascal NM [1] (The concept was that the performers got to sing songs that they would never get to do on stage, so we get such wackiness as Gallagher's "I'm Still Here" and "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina," LuPone's "Trouble," and Pascal's "Frank Mills"; Not bad sound)
• *Music by Dan Levine (Dan Levine/Various) - 15 songs: Gregg Edelman, John Cullum U NM S CD [1] (Includes songs from the demos of Anna Karenina and Dance On The Rooftops, as well as other pieces; Not bad stuff)

• One Night Only (Various) - 8/14/00 - 7th Note Showclub, San Francisco: Touring casts of Les Miserables and Titanic UM (Amusing; "Lucky" and "The Riddle Song" are ripped to shreds, but "A Yak Named Jack," "The French Song," and the monologue before the opera medley are a riot, "Ordinary Day" rocks (until the end, quoth a friend), and hey, what could be better than six chorus boys performing "The Cell Block Tango?"; Missing the first halves of "Making Love Alone" and "Song For The Dumped" and the first few lines of "The Alto's Lament")

• Ruthie Henshall In Concert (Various) - 5/25/97 - Royal Festival Hall [1] (Kind of odd: not sure when (or if) acts start and end, seems to just cut off after "Someone To Watch Over Me"; About 80 minutes; Some brief distortion at times)
• Sean McCourt's Big Top (Various) - 5/22/00 - Wilson's: with Alice Ripley, Matthew Bennett UM NM <1G> (One of several concerts given by McCourt and various friends of his to perform their own music; Missing the end of a song or two; Quite a bit of crowd noise; No complete songlist)

• *Songs by Dean Bryant and Matthew Frank (Matthew Frank/Dean Bryant*) - 11 songs R U NM CD[1] (A bunch of songs by a pair of insanely talented Australians, performed by them and others; About 45 minutes; Copied from an origina demo CD)

• *After The Fair (Matthew Ward/Stephen Cole*) - Demo with 13 songs S UM? NM [1] (Cast unknown; About 50 minutes; May include some changed lyrics, but I'm not particularly familiar with the cast album, since I find the score to be rather boring)
• Aida (Elton John/Tim Rice/Linda Woolverton + David Henry Hwang & Robert Falls) - Composer Demos with 13 songs S UM NM [1] (Includes the cut songs "Night Of Nights" and "Our Nation Holds Sway," a cut instrumental march, a much longer "Every Story Is A Love Story," a rather different "Dance Of The Robe," and some different lyrics across the board; There is a mysterious gap part way through "My Strongest Suit"; Performed by John and a synthesized band, when it would have been a whole lot better if it had just been John and solo piano, but whatever)
• Alice (Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan*/Paul Schmidt) - Demo/Studio Recording/Live with 28 Songs (27 different, 14 vocal): Tom Waits S U NM CD [1] (Engagingly bizarre (albeit incomprehensible) adaptation of the life and work of Lewis Carroll; One song is live; Contains 13 instrumental interludes; Somewhere between Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Weill, and Danny Elfman; Approximately 78 minutes)

• The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz (Alan Menken/David Spencer/David Spencer (+ Austin Pendleton)) - Composer/Cast Demos with around 27 songs: Lonny Price (Duddy Kravitz/Various) S U NM [1] (The strange book billing is because Pendleton wrote the show's book for its first incarnation (1987, Philiadelphia), Spencer did heavy rewrites and took credit for the rest, and I don't know when this demo is from; Other possible cast members include James Judy (Virgil), John Horton, and Jenny Giering (Yvette); Approximately 83 minutes)
• Arthur: The Musical (Michael Skloff/Marta Kauffman & David Crane*) - Demo with 13 songs: Harry Groener (Arthur Bach), Liz Callaway (Linda Marolla) S U NM [1] (About 40 minutes; Includes full-length (although not full-plot - numerous major events are left out) running narration; Includes one cut song, "There's Only One Woman For Me," which was replaced by "Fun" and uses that song's refrain as a bridge)

• *Beasts And Saints (Daniel Messé/Mindi Dickstein*) - Demo with 7 songs: Michelle Blakely, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Ted Brunetti, Jenny Giering S U NM CD [1] (Strange piece that seems to be some sort of update of Alice In Wonderland, or something like that; Interesting score; About 30 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)
• *Bells Are Ringing (Jule Styne/Betty Comden & Adolph Green) - Composer Demos with 13 songs S UM NM [1] (Passable sound; Includes the cut song "Boogie, Woogie, Shoogie, Baby," the mostly cut "Gotta Do It," and another dropped song that I couldn' figure out a title for; "Mu-Cha-Cha" and "Hello, Hello There" don't have lyrics yet; Under 45 minutes)

• *The Big Bang (Jed Feuer/Boyd Graham*) - Composer Demos with 16 songs S UM NM CD [1] (Given that the composers wrote the show for themselves and performed it off-Broadway, playing themselves, one might consider this a cast demo; About 28 minutes; Includes the cut songs "Evolution," "Attila," and "Holding Out For A Hero/Pocahontas," as well as a dropped finale; Funny stuff)
• Blood And Fire (Lisa Heffter/Jeffrey Couchman*) - Demo with 3 songs S U NM CD [1] (Cast unknown; About 9 minutes; Not great sound, but not great material, either)
• Bojangles (Charles Strouse/Sammy Cahn/Norman Mitgang) - Composer Demos with 14 songs (12 different) S U NM [1] (About 45 minutes; A bunch of the tunes later wound up in Annie 2)
• Bojangles (Charles Strouse/Sammy Cahn/Norman Mitgang) - 1/24/80 - Backers' Audition: Ira Hawkins, Juanita Fleming, Charles Strouse, Sammy Cahn S U NM CD UNINDEXED [1] (Just under an hour; Fantastic sound except that some of the piano music sounds oddly distorted (it's not too intrusive, though); There's some really great stuff in here (not just "Da-Da Da-Da Da Da"); This is currently on 1 unindexed CD)

• *Bring Me The Head Of Deepak Chopra (Ira Marlowe) - Composer/Cast Demos with 16 songs: Ira Marlowe, Heidi Andersen S U NM CD [1] (Incomprehensible, generally terrible piece that never lives up to a great opening number entitled "It Sucks Being Dead"; About 28 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)

• *Celebration (Harvey Schmidt/Tom Jones*) - Studio Demo with 7 songs S U NM [1] (Cast unknown; Nice sound; Great score, although it sounds pretty odd to hear the songs "popped" up; Under 45 minutes; Recorded and released on CD, but out of print)

• Constellations (Brian Besterman/William Schermerhorn*) - Demo with 6 songs: Norm Lewis, Roger Bart, Alix Korey, Jeremy Kushnier, Anthony Rapp S U NM [1] (A little under 20 minutes; Pleasant-sounding rock musical seemingly based on the story of Icarus; Marvelous sound except for a few loud moments during "Until That Day" (which, naturally, is Korey's solo...grr); Tape made from a copy of the master CD)

• Curtains (John Kander/Fred Ebb/Peter Stone) - Composer Demos with a bunch of songs (I haven't counted): John Kander, Fred Ebb S U NM [1] (Very funny unproduced show - to prevent a bad show from being put on, a backer starts murdering the cast; May be incomplete)

Czernik (Joan Schwartzen), Larry Yando (Claude Estee/Earl Shoop), Dorothy Brodesser (Mrs. Loomis), Richard Stegman (Adore Loomis), Bob Antonelli (Miguel/The Pink Lady) U NM (Disappointing - a marvelous idea for a musical, but not well executed (heavily unbalanced and rather boring); Based on novel and film of same name; Goldstick, for anyone who cares, was later a producer and writer for (beware of shameless plug for my favorite TV show (before it was cruelly cancelled)) the best show recently on TV, Popular; Missing a bit of dialogue at a flip in Act I; Two songs on the songlist ("The Cockfight" and "I Can Still Hear That Laugh (Reprise)") are not performed))
• Day Of The Locust (James Bassi/Richard Lollo/Unknown) - Demo with 5 songs (4 different): Eddie Korbich, Kerry Butler S U NM CD [1] (Apparently recorded live; Full cast unknown; Includes two renditions of "Riding On A Cloud" - one by Korbich, one by an unknown singer; On CD with Nickleby and songs from two other Bassi/Lollo works; Even worse than the Judson/Goldstick attempt at the same material; About 9 minutes)
• *Decameron Nights (Richard Peaslee/Kenneth Cavander*) - Demo with 9 songs: Anna Bergman, Kevin DiSimone, Margaret Dorn, William Paul Michals S U NM CD [1] (None-too-good reworking of a 1970s Broadway bomb called Boccaccio, based on several of the stories in that author's Decameron; 5 of the songs ("The Best Of Times," "The Men Who Have Loved Me," "Lucky Anichino," "All The Women You Want," and "Madonna Isabella") are abridged versions; About 21 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)

• Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Phil Hall/David Levy & Leslie Eberhard*) - Demo with 15 songs: Joe Mahowald, Marin Mazzie, Ann Runolfsson, Ann Brown (Includes very different versions of several songs, but nothing completely cut; Oddly missing numerous major numbers from the score as presented at Paper Mill ("Under The Skin," Another Man," and, most notably, "I Am the Night"); Nice to finally be able to understand the lyrics of "Two Sides Of London"; Slightly under 45 minutes)
• *Dr. Sex AKA Kinsey Report (Larry Bortniker*/Larry Bortniker & Sally Deering) - Demo with 18 songs S U NM [1] (Cast unknown; Bizarre musical about the life of Alfred Kinsey; About 50 minutes)

• *Dracula (Frank Wildhorn/Don Black & Christopher Hampton) - Demo with 21 songs: Douglas Sills (Dracula/Jack Seward), Christiane Noll (Mina Murray/Vampire Girls), Alice Ripley (Lucy Westenra), Robert Evan (Jonathan Harker), William Youmans (Renfield), Chuck Wagner (Abraham Van Helsing), Coleen Sexton (Vampire Girls) S U NM CD [1] (Extraordinarily boring, although nicely cast; About 50 minutes)
• Drat! The Cat! (Milton Schafer/Ira Levin*) - Studio Demo with 8 songs (7 different) S NM CD UNINDEXED [1] (A little under 21 minutes; Almost unbearably cheesy, with a frighteningly bizarre instrumental version of the title song interspersed with meows; Includes a second rendition of "She Touched Me"; Currently unindexed, but soon to be fixed; Mediocre sound - loud and clear, but some minor LP-static)
• The Dream On Royal Street (Alan Menken/David Rogers/June Walker Rogers) - Composer Demos with 16 songs S U NM CD [1] (A Midsummer Night's Dream set in New Orleans during Mardi Gras; Pleasantly blah with 3 standout songs: the very funny "Treat Me Like A Dog," the catchy "What Fools These Mortals Be," and a brilliant setting of the "The Tragedy Of Pyramus And Thisbe" as a six-and-a-half minute rock song)
• espresso trasho (Eric Schorr/Charles Leipart*) - Demo with five songs: Sally Mayes (Susie), Adrian Bailey (Joe), Gregory Jbara (Pete Toselli), Marla Schaffel, Joe Lutton, Kim Hawthorne S U NM CD [1] (Perfect sound - transferred from an original demo tape; About 17 minutes; Updated rock-based version of The School For Scandal)
• The Fields Of Ambrosia (Martin Silvestri/Joel Higgins*) - Full Show Demo: Joel Higgins (Jonas Candide), Christine Andreas (Gretchen Herzallerliebst), Eddie Korbich (Jimmy) R S UM NM (Excellent show with magnificent unappreciated score - Highest possible recommendation; Same cast as George Street production; Act I is pretty good sound through "Who Are You?," then wavers repeatedly between excellent and heard-through-a-thin-wall, finally settling at okay about halfway through "Step Right Up";  Act II is all excellent sound;  Contains lots of material that didn't make it onto the London album, along with a shorter "Ball And Chain," different lyrics for part of "Reasonable Man," and a different tune in the chorus of "All In This Together")
• *Fire, Water, Earth, Air (Jeffrey Hardy/Brian Crawley*) - Demo with 10 songs: Sara Ramirez, John Sloman, Darius de Haas, Aisha de Haas R S UNM CD [1] (Offbeat, fascinating work that consists of four mini-musicals, each based around one element - the songs on the demo are from Fire and Water; Workshopped at the O'Neill a couple of years ago, and now back in rewrites)
• First Flight (James Sasser/James Sasser & James Dilda/James Dilda) - Demo with 8 songs: James Sasser (Wilbur Wright), Sandy Binion (Susan Wright), Nina Hennessey (Katharine Wright), Joe Beredino (Orville Wright), Craig Bennett (Milton Wright) S U NM CD [1] (Copied from an original demo CD; Very strong, intriguing musical about the Wright brothers, with a sort of Floyd Collins feel to the music; About 30 minutes)
• The Flood (Cara Reichel & Peter Mills) - Demo with 4 songs S U NM CD [1] (About 15 minutes; Cast unknown; One track ("Let The River Rise") appears to have been recorded live; Not very good, except for one song ("It's Amazing The Things That Float"))
• *Frieda And Diego (Keiko Takeda/Adair Seldon*) - Demo with 4 songs S UM NM CD [1] (Cast unknown; Lousy musical about Frieda Kahlo and Diego Rivera, obviously; About 16 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)
• *Fritz And Froyim (Mark Barkan & Rolf Barnes/Norman Beim*) - Reading/Demo with 10 songs U NM CD [1] (Pretty lousy stuff, and bad sound to boot; Based loosely on a Romain Gary novel; About a former SS officer who is haunted by teh ghost of a Jewish ventriloquist whom he killed during the Holocaust; About 25 minutes)
• A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (Stephen Sondheim*/Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart) - Composer Demos with 20 songs (17 different) R S UM NM CD [1] (Sound is a little scratchy, but sounds GREAT for its age; Includes tons of cut material (much of which has since been recorded): eight completely cut songs (with additional renditions of three of them) and loads of cut lyrics (primarily in "The House Of Marcus Lycus" and "Free"); About 50 minutes)
• Gallery (Ed Kleban) - Composer Demos with 28 songs S U NM [1] (Just under 90 minutes; Some fascinating material; Sound is sometimes slightly harsh)
• Girls Are From Pluto, Boys Are From Uranus (Howard Levitsky/Bethany McLure*) - Demo with 5 songs: Jeremy Chu (Chris), Harrley Adams (Nick), Cameron Bowen (Alex) S U NM CD [1] (About 10 minutes; Cute musical about three sixth graders, with some great lyrics; The whole piece is only 12 minutes long, so this is the entire score; Copied from an original demo CD)

Cohen/Ted Drachman/Jonathan Bolt) - Demo with 17 songs: Marla Schaffel, Lewis Cleale, Jessica Molaskey, David Masenheimer, Jennifer Piech, David Aron Damane, Casper Roos, Jay Douglas, Jeff Gardner, Billy Hartung R S UNM CD [1] (Great score; Based on a group of James Fenimore Cooper novels; About 54 minutes)
• Golden Gate (John Kander/Fred Ebb/Richard Morris) - Composer Demos with 18 songs and some dialogue (Kind of strange, with one really excellent song ("There's Nothing Wrong With My Life") and a couple of pretty nice ones; Cuts off during the finale, but all that's missing is the end of a reprise of "Anywhere You Are"; one song was reused in The Happy Time ("A Certain Girl"), one was reused in but cut from The Rink ("Yesterday Is Yesterday"), and two others were recorded by Liza Minnelli ("I'm One Of The Smart Ones" and "Anywhere You Are"); Just over an hour)
• Goodtime Charley (Larry Grossman/Hal Hackady/Sidney Michaels) - Studio Demo with 6 songs (4 different) S UM NM CD [1] (A little under 17 minutes; Includes the cut song "Tomorrow's Good Old Days"; Includes alternate versions of "To Make The Boy A Man" (sung by a man!) and "Goodtime Charley"; Nice sound, except that the first rendition of "To Make The Boy A Man" is a little muffled)
• The Graduate (Bob Merrill*/Unknown) - Various Demos with 16 songs (12 different): Bob Merrill S U NM [1] (Almost unrelentingly lousy; A little over an hour total; Side A is five songs and a reprise sung by an unknown man with a bad voice; Side B is 10 songs sung and narrated by Merrill and an unknown cast)

Curtis (Greg), Andrew Makay (Jacob), Lesli Margherita (Lindsey), Amy Rutberg (Amanda), Shannon Stoeke (Sheldon), Joe Patrick Ward (Joel) S U NM CD [1] (About 30 minutes; Insanely hilarious send-up of various musicals; Recorded digitally through the soundboard in LA; Copied from an original demo CD)

• Hairspray (Marc Shaiman/Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman/Mark O'Donnell) - Demo with 4 songs: Cast unknown S U NM CD [1] (Around 12 minutes; Based on the John Waters movie and scheduled for a Broadway production next season; Probably Jenifer Smith as Motor Mouth Mabel)

• *Herringbone (Walter Edgar Kennon/Ellen Fitzhugh/Tom Cone) - Demo with 19 songs S U NM CD [1] (Cast unknown; Incredibly bizarre one-man musical that's been performed by people as disparate as David Rounds, Joel Grey, and B.D. Wong; About 48 minutes)
• The Honeymooners (Alan Menken/Howard Ashman/Unknown) - Composer Demos with 8 songs S U NM CD [1] (About 25 minutes; Enjoyably silly, with a kickass ballad in "To The Moon")

• *In The Beginning (Maury Yeston*/David Hahn) - Demo with 13 songs: Victoria Clark, Brian d'Arcy James, Martin Moran R S U NM CD [1] (43 Minutes; Complete/Exact cast unknown; Much better copy than the one one mostly circulating, with the correct version of "New Words" (d'Arcy James' version instead of Liz Callaway's version);  Yeston's Bible musical; Some excellent stuff)

• Jean Seberg (Marvin Hamlisch/Christopher Adler/Julian Barry) - Date Unknown - Workshop?: Cast Unknown (Cheryl Kennedy? - Jean Seberg) S? U NM (A very strange work - sometimes seems almost more like a play with lengthy songs than like a true musical; The person I got this from listed it as a tryout under the title Jean, however I believe it may be a tape of the Michael Bennett-directed workshop - I've heard of a tape of that existing, and the solo piano accompaniment seems rather workshop-ish; May be a soundboard tape; Includes the cut songs "Ever Since I Touched You" and "Gotta Get A Partner," as well as other material changed by the time of the London production)
• Joe! (Dan Lipton & David Rossmer) - 3/29/99 - Industry Premiere Reading: Anthony Rapp (Joe), Emily Loesser (Laura), Jeremy Kushnier (Noah), John Jellison (Joe's Dad), Melissa Hart (Joe's Mom) U NM (Occasionally hard to understand; Plot is hard to follow since stage directions are mostly overpowered by piano; Includes some dropped material)

Fitz-Gerald (Long Distance Guy/Various), Stacie Morgain Lewis (Elevator/Various) U 2CD (Some clipping on loud portions, but not much, and some parts are kinda quiet (and, through no fault of my own, it's almost impossible to hear some of the lines sung by the audience during "Don't Let The End Of Act One Ruin Act Two"; Really hilarious show, and a much better recording than the 3/29/99 reading
• *Kept (Henry Krieger/Bill Russell*) - 5/25/01 - First Reading, Laurie Beechman Theatre, Westbank Café: Julia Murney (Caleigh), Kane Alexander (Ian Foster), Jeff McCarthy (Marshall Fiske), Karen Murphy (Mrs. Foster), Mary Testa (Brigitte), Josh Prince (Blake) U 2CD RESTRICTED TRADE (Well-done (although in need of revision) update of Camille; Kickass songs and performances; Fantastic sound, except for during the opening number ("Rush"), but I screwed with my mic during the applause; Includes a pre-show speech by Russell)

• Kicks: The Showgirl Musical (Alan Menken/Tom Eyen*) - Full Length Composer Demo with 21 definable songs and a whole lot of recitative S U NM [1] (Score is very interesting, but it's obvious why the show never went anywhere; Runs approximately 105 minutes)

Kant/Stephen Tomac*) - Demo with 4 songs: Anthony Rapp, Tony Capone, Niki Davis, Carla Hargrove, Randy Redd, Jeanne Kant, Jamie Smith, Ginny Pike, Vaughn Fritts, Tim McCanna, Joshua Kant. Stephen Tomac S U NM CD [1] (I've listed all of the people listed as "performers" on the demo - it's not stated who sings which songs, however, I figure that it's Rapp and Capone doing "The Loser Song," Redd doing "Simon Says," and possibly Hargrove doing "Here"; About 10 minutes; Interesting stuff, although some of the stronger material in the show isn't on the demo; Copied from an original demo CD)

(Wayne) Mathis), "Don't Take Much" (split into pieces with other sections between), "Why Don't They Leave Us Alone?" (sung just by the hookers and titled "Working Girls"), and "Use What You Got" (used as a brief throwaway in the middle of Act II), as well as different lyrics all over the place; Missing a bit of "Working Girls" (only about half a line and some music) and cuts off partway through the reprise of "The Street"; Pretty good quality, but sometimes hard to understand and kinda distant)
• *Little Women (Kim Oler/Alison Hubbard/Allan Knee) - Demo with 5 songs S U NM CD[1] (Cast unknown; About 14 minutes; Nice stuff - these are from the original score, before Oler and Hubbard were kicked off the project and replaced by Jason Howland and Mindi Dickstein)

• Mail (Michael Rupert/Jerry Colker*) - Reading/Composer Demo with 34 songs: Michael Rupert (Alex Berkowitz, sorta) S U NM [1] (Six songs are from a studio demo, all performed by Rupert, and the rest are apparently recorded through the sound system at a staged reading (songs only, almost no dialogue); Includes lots of material that has since been heavily revised, including the cut songs "You Left Me Flat," "Letter From The Landlord," "Writing Is A Craft," "Other People," "Tentatively," "Contact Your Mother," and "Letterland," as well as a chopped sequence of reprises near the end of the show, along with very different versions of "It's None Of My Business," "Junk Mail," "What Have You Been Doing For The Past Ten Years?," "One Lost Weekend," "Pages Of My Diary," "Publish Your Book," and "Don't Count On It"; On the demo, Alex's name seems to be Robert, and in the reading, it's Adam; About 78 minutes; Rest of cast of reading unknown, and might not even be Rupert in it)

• Misery (Bob Johnston/Bob Johnston & Jeff Hochhauser/Jeff Hochhauser) - Composer Demo with a whole bunch of songs (All of Act I) R S U NM [1] (Almost freakish, mostly sung adaptation of the Stephen King novel; Really enjoyable; Only Act I is finished so far)

• Miss Spectacular (Jerry Herman/Ken Ludwig) - Demo/Unreleased Concept Album with 13 songs: Debbie Gravitte, Steve Lawrence, Michael Feinstein, Faith Prince, Karen Morrow, Christine Baranski, Davis Gaines S U NM CD [1] (Sound only comes out of one channel, and there are a few sound oddities, but otherwise excellent sound; Kinda boring if you ask me; A little over 45 minutes)
• The Molly Maguires (Sid Cherry*/William Strzempek) - Demo with 11 songs: Liz Callaway (Mary), Jeff McCarthy (Kehoe) S U NM [1] (About 40 minutes; Full cast unknown; Nice Celtic-based score)

• The Mystery Of Edwin Drood (Rupert Holmes) - Staged reading with most of later OBC: Betty Buckley (Edwin Drood), Howard McGillin (John Jasper), George Rose(?), Cleo Laine (Princess Puffer), Patty Cohenour(? - Rosa Bud) S UM NM 3CD (Includes the cut songs "There'll Be England Again" (and a closing reprise), "When The Wicked Man Comes," "Sapsea's Song," "I Wouldn't Say No," "When Shall These Three Meet Again?," and "Evensong," along with "A British Subject" (which didn't make either version of the cast album and may have been cut), and "Dick Datchery Exposed" and the reprise of "Perfect Strangers" (neither of which made the album because they changed depending on the audience's choices of detective and lovers); Sound is a little screwy for the first few minutes of Side B of Tape I (which includes about half of "The Wages Of Sin"); Runs about five or ten minutes too long to fit on two 80 minute CDs, so I had to do it on three 74s)
• Napoleon (Timothy Williams/Andrew Sabiston/Timothy Williams & Andrew Sabiston) - Demo with 18 songs: Cast unknown S UM NM [1] (Apart from a few different lyrics, seems almost identical to the Toronto album, and may be the same cast (led by Jerôme Pradon))
• Nickleby (James Bassi/Richard Lollo/Unknown) - Demo with 3 songs: Ann Crumb S U NM CD [1] (About 9 minutes; Full cast unknown; Rather lousy; On CD with Day Of The Locust and songs from two other Bassi/Lollo works)

• *No, No, Nanette (Vincent Youmans/Various/Otto Harbach & Frank Mandel + Burt Shevelove) - Buster Davis' Demo, 17 songs S UM NM [1] (Tape of Buster Davis playing various songs, mostly fragments, that may have been in the show at one time or considered for inclusion in the revision; Five cut songs; Under 45 minutes)
• Notes To MariAnne (Dan Lipton & David Rossmer) - Composer Demo of 8 songs from Act I S U NM CD [1] (About 20 minutes; Six songs performed by Rossmer, two by Lipton; Very strange material (completely different from Joe!), but interesting)
• *O. Henry's Lovers (Michael Valenti/Joe DiPietro*) - Demo with 8 songs: Mitch Daniels, Kevin Gray, Kelli Rabke, KT Sullivan, Melissa Weil, Michael Valenti S U NM CD [1] (Nice stuff, based on a couple of O. Henry stories; About 25 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)
• Observation Deck (Richard Pearson Thomas*/No Book) - Demo with 11 songs: Lauren Ward, Michael Winther, Theresa McCarthy S U NM CD [1] (About 40 minutes; Not so much a demo of a show but a demo of songs written by Pearson Thomas, as performed in a Lincoln Center concert (by this title and with these performers); Some excellent stuff (particularly "A Love Song Has To Rhyme," "Love Was," and "Just Another Hour"); Some minor sonic oddities on a few tracks; Transferred from an original demo tape)

• Once Around The City (Robert Reale/Willie Reale*) - Demo/Live with 14 songs: Performers unknown S? U NM [1] (About 45 minutes; Possibly Albert Schultz as David; Some cuts are from some sort of live performance, others seem to be studio; All but one cut are perfectly clear; Includes three songs ("Neat Little Package Deal," "No Regrets," and "I'm In Love With You") that were cut before the NYS&F production, as well as two more songs ("Best Of All, You" and "Hot In Here") that were cut before New York and a longer version of the reprise of "Shelter," which was eventually dropped during New York previews)
• Over And Over (John Kander/Fred Ebb/Joseph Stein) - Composer Demo with 20 songs S U NM [1] (Just over an hour; Includes several songs that were dropped before or during the Signature Theatre production, but since that show changed nightly, I'm not sure of which songs never made it in; Possible cut outs include "Prologue: Freeport, New Jersey," "Warm," "What For?," and "No One Can Say That But Me")
• Paper Moon (Larry Grossman/Ellen Fitzhugh/Martin Casella) - 1990 - Reading: Gregory Harrison (Moses Pray), Christine Ebersole(? - Miss Trixie Delight) S?

• A Pray By Blecht AKA The Exception And The Rule (Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim/John Guare) - 1968 - Backers' Audition: Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein S? U NM CD [1] (Essentially incomprehensible - Sondheim and Bernstein pretty much babbling for 48 minutes)
• *Prodigal Son AKA Prodigal (Matthew Frank/Dean Bryant*) - Demo with 17 songs S U NM CD [1] (Cast unknown; A great Australian musical premiering off-Broadway later this season; Includes the cut songs "Where Is He?" and "Compromise," as well as other bits that have been rewritten)
• Quasimodo (Larry Grossman/Hal Hackady/Anthony Scully) - 1978 - Backers' Audition: Hal Hackady(?), Laura Kenyon U NM [1] (12 songs from the score sung by Hackady (could be Grossman, but I've heard him sing and it doesn't sound like him - granted, I heard him 22 years after this was recorded) and Kenyon, with narration provided by producer Lorin E. Price; Okay sound (much better on most songs); About 55 minutes)
• Quasimodo (Byron Janis/Hal Hackady/Anthony Scully?) - Studio demo of later version (after Grossman left the project) with 9 songs (8 different) U NM [1] (Cast unknown; About 23 minutes; Lyrics for four songs ("Welcome To Paris," "Like Any Man," "In His Eyes," and "All That's Left Of Love") are mostly held over from the earlier version)
• Raggedy Ann (Joe Raposo*/William Gibson) - Demo with 21 songs U NM (Cast unknown; About 45 minutes; Includes the songs "Mexico," "Never Get Away," "Would You Like A Little Music?," and "Do You Still Remember?," all of which were cut before the ill-fated Broadway production, along with a different version of "I Come Riding; Small parts are missing from "Welcome To L.A."/"Diagnosis (Reprise)" and the instrumental before "Carry On (Reprise)"; Some of it is actually (*gasp*) appealing)

UM NM (Quiet but clear; May be from the soundboard; During parts of Act II (particularly the end sequence), there seems to be something else coming out of the right channel; Includes lots of cut material - tons of changed dialogue, three removed songs ("The Girl On The Swing" (later replaced by "Crime Of The Century"), "Buy A Silhouette" (replaced by "Success," although the music remains as the intro to "Gliding"), and "Look What You've Done" (which remains vestigially but was originally a very long duet for Coalhouse and Booker T. Washington), along with a brief removed bit for The Little Boy at the top of Act II), many removed reprises, a completely different intro to "Wheels Of A Dream," and different lyrics to many songs;  Missing the beginning of "What A Game!" and part of the finale; Complete cast unknown)

• The Rink (John Kander/Fred Ebb/Terrence McNally) - Composer Demo with 22 songs S UM NM [1] (A little under 72 minutes; Includes the cut songs "A Postcard," "In Lecce Bella," "Eight Ducks"/"One Of Those Moments," "Yesterday Is Yesterday" (originally from Golden Gate), "Only In The Movies" (completely different from the same-titled song in Kiss Of The Spider Woman), "Murphy's Law," and "When The Antonellis Were Here," along with very different versions of "Under The Rollercoaster," "What Happened To The Old Days?" and "Coda," not to mention some changed lyrics (notably in "All The Children In A Row"); Some minor fuzziness from generation loss, but generally quite good; Interesting to listen to all of cut stuff, all of which seems to be in Act II)
• The Rhythm Club (Matt Sklar/Chad Beguelin*) - Demo with seven songs: Brian D'Arcy James (Jake Beck), Alice Ripley (Petra Wolff), Roger Bart (Adam Gernstein), Michele Pawk, Vicki Clark, Brent Barrett (John Gernstein), Christiane Noll (Petra Wolff), Christ Diamantopoulos (Adam Gernstein) R S U NM CD[1] (This is the third of four (known) demos - it combines tracks from the second demo (ten tracks - as yet unfound) with three tracks recorded later; Great sound, and I love this score; Pawk and Clark play Miriam Gernstein and Anna Wolff, but I'm not sure which one plays which)

Benjamin (Shiny Eisenberg), Marc Kudisch (Frankie Francado) U 2CD (Amusing spoof of/homage to the Bing Crosby/Bob Hope road movies of the 40s; Nicely scored, and wonderfully performed by a perfect cast; Includes the cut song "55 Cities (In 55 Days)" and its reprise)
• Roza (Gilbert Becaud/Julian More*) - Composer Demo with 11 songs (10 Different) U NM (About 42 minutes; Includes three completely cut songs ("The Lion And The Lamb," "Looking After Ourselves," and "Meet Me Halfway"), along with "The World Belongs To Crazy People," which was folded into "Merci"; Includes two different versions of "House In Algiers"; Sung mostly by Becaud - some of the songs (particularly "House In Algiers" and "Don't Make Me Laugh") sound somewhat silly sung by men)
• Saturday Night (Stephen Sondheim*/Julius J. Epstein + Arte Johnson) - 1954 - Backers' Audition: Jack Cassidy (Gene), Leila Martin (Helen), Arte Johnson (Bobby), Alice Ghostley (Celeste) S UM NM [1] (About 56 minutes; Includes longer versions of "Class" and "That Kind Of A Neighborhood" and a different finale)

• *The Screams Of Kitty Genovese (Will Todd/David Simpatico*) - Full Show Demo: Juliet Lambert (Kitty Genovese), Craig Rubano (Winston Moseley), Julia Murney, Jerry Dixon (Baby) S U NM CD [1] (About 66 minutes; Intelligent although difficult quasi-operatic piece about the infamous Kitty Genovese murder; Workshopped at the O'Neill Center in the summer of 2000, and this demo is based on that workshop - I'm in the process of hopefully acquiring a full cast list; Not very well indexed at the moment)
• Searching For Y (Edward Thomas/Jon Marans*) - Demo with 10 songs: Gregg Edelman (Ken Marcus) S U NM CD [1] (About 31 minutes; Possibly Lillias White as Sharon Groomes; Perfect sound, very strong score)

• Shogun (Paul Chihara/John Driver*) - Demo with 14 songs: Peter Karrie (John Blackthorne), June Angela (Mariko), Francis Ruivivar (Toranaga) S U NM [1] (Includes the cut song "Yin Together With Yang"; Company believed to be OBC)

• *Shoot! - a musical in 36 exposures (Brooks Cowaan/Jeff Matson*) - Demo with 8 songs (Cast unknown; Not very good at all; About 23 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)

• Stealing (Ada Janik*/Ted Sod) - Demo/Reading with 13 songs - Mary Testa, Vicki Lewis, Tonya Pinkins, Willy Falk, Rita Gardner, Tico Wells S U NM [1] (About 46 minutes; Some tracks are studio demos, others quiet and often unlistenable live recordings assumably from the 1985 O'Neill Center reading; Undistinguished score, except for one pretty song called "Bird On A Wire" and the title song, which is catchy for two minutes and then boring for another eight and a half)
• *Suburb (Robert S. Cohen/David Javerbaum/Robert S. Cohen & David Javerbaum) - Demo with 9 songs: Alix Korey (Rhoda Ravittch), Reathel Bean, Nancy Anderson (Alison) R S UNM CD [1] (Full cast possibly forthcoming; A great score, although there's a lot more of it than is on this recording; About 38 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)

• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (Stephen Sondheim*/Hugh Wheeler) - Composer Demos with 23 songs S UM NM [1] CD (Just under 80 minutes, including some narration; Some different lyrics in various places, including a cut verse of "Poor Thing" and quite a few changes in "Pirelli's Miracle Elixir"; Sondheim sounds pretty awful on this recording, but it's enjoyable hearing him sing all the parts in "God, That's Good!"; Most of the lyrics for "Not While I'm Around" had yet to be written at this point)
• Sweet Smell Of Success (Marvin Hamlisch/Craig Carnelia/John Guare) - Composer/Cast Demos with 25 songs: Brian D'Arcy James (Sidney Falco), Craig Carnelia (JJ Hunsecker/Dallas Cochran) Lauren Ward (Susan Hunsecker), Stacey Logan (Rita) R S U NM [1] CD (Amazing score, amazing quality; Just under 80 minutes; Not recommended for people who haven't seen the movie)

Fitz-Gerald (Various), Frank Mastrone (Various), Matthew Jones (Various), Christa Justus (Various) R U 2CD (Extraordinary piece that weaves together the stories of Earhart, Lindbergh, and the Wright brothers; Superbly written and performed, with a score totally unlike anything else that Maltby and Shire have written; A bit of clipping on some very loud moments (pretty much just the beginning of the show and the end of both acts))
• The Tenants Of 3R (Stephen Hoffman/Mark Campbell/Stephen Hoffman, Mark Campbell, & Susan Einhorn) - Full show demo with 23 songs: Evalyn Baron, Catherine Cox S U NM [1] (Full cast unknown; Ambitious, interesting concept musical about all the people who live in a single apartment over the course of the 20th century; About 70 minutes)

• Theda Bara And The Frontier Rabbi (Bob Johnston/Bob Johnston & Jeff Hochhauser/Jeff Hochhauser) - Compilation of demos and live performances: Cast unknown except for Liz Larsen on one track S U NM [1] (Silly and incomprehensible, but fun; Seems to cover the whole score, without all the dialogue; Apparently includes some cut songs)
• Time And Again (Walter Edgar Kennon*/Jack Viertel) - Demo with 20 songs: Howard McGillin (Si Morley), Rebecca Luker (Julia Charbonneau), Jessica Molaskey (Kate Mancuso) S U NM [1] (About an hour; Part of "What Of Love?" is missing; Includes the cut songs "Quibodet," "Einstein's Propositions," "When Mama Met Papa," "Fairy Tale Life," and "You're Mine"/"Modern Romance," and has different versions of other songs))

• Twist Of Fate (Ron Abel/Lissa Levin*) - Demo with 14 songs: Debbie Gravitte (Dominique St. Marie), Michelle Nicastro R S U NM CD [1] (Full cast unknown; About 46 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD; Very striking score and plot - about gypsy fortune tellers in 1970s LA (although that simplifies it a lot); A few minor sonic oddities)
• *UG (Rick Rhodes/Jim Geoghan, Vivian Rhodes, & Rick Rhodes/Jim Geoghan) - Demo with 16 songs S U NM CD [1] (An enjoyable listen - about a caveman who accidentally invents theatre; Possibly performed by the authors; About 51 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)

• Violet (Jeanine Tesori/Brian Crawley*) - Demo with 10 songs: Michael McElroy (Flick) S U NM [1] CD (McElroy's is the only voice I recognize, but it stands to reason that the other singers are also the OOBC (Lauren Ward, Michael Park, others); About 35 minutes; Includes the cut song "Close Our Eyes"; "Surprised" has some different lyrics and a different ending and "You're Different" has slightly different lyrics)
• Wait For Me, World (John Kander/Fred Ebb/Unknown) - Composer Demos with 12 songs (11 different) S U NM [1] CD (About 38 minutes; Unproduced musical about the life of Horatio Alger; Sound quality varies from track to track; Two songs were later recycled - "I Can't Do That Anymore" was used in the revised version of 70, Girls, 70 and "It's The Strangest Thing" was used in The Act)
• *A Wee Bit O'Scotch (Harold Rome*/Edward Chodorov) - Composer/Studio Demos with 17 songs: Harold Rome, Rose Marie Jun S U NM [1] CD (Not very good; Unproduced musical based on an obscure William Gilbert play; Passable sound; About 52 minutes)
• *What A Piece Of Work Is Dan! (Daniel Shamir/Richard Looney + Daniel Shamir + William Shakespeare/Richard Looney) - Demo with 5 songs S U NM [1] CD (Cast unknown; An odd, none-too-good musical about a guy trying to write a Shakespeare-based musical; About 14 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)
• *What A Piece Of Work Is Dan! (Daniel Shamir/Richard Looney + Daniel Shamir + William Shakespeare/Richard Looney) - Demo with 7 songs (6 different) S U NM [1] CD (Cast unknown; An odd, none-too-good musical about a guy trying to write a Shakespeare-based musical; Some different cuts from the above recording; Includes a remix of "To Be Or Not To Be"; About 21 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)
• Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? (Lee Pockriss/Hal Hackady/Henry Farrell) - Demo with eight songs: Alix Korey (Jane Hudson), Kim Criswell (Blanche Hudson) S U NM [1] (Just under 32 minutes; Some amusing/interesting material, particularly "Talent" and "Four Walls"; Other performers unknown; Some minor sound oddities, but generally fine)
• Wicked City AKA Oedipus, Private Eye (Matt Sklar/Chad Beguelin*) - Demo with 6 songs: Michele Pawk (Jo), Brian d'Arcy James (Eddie Kane), Capathia Jenkins (Madame Teresa), Jan Maxwell R S U NM CD [1] (About 15 minutes; Great stuff; Copied from an original demo CD)
• The Wild Party (Andrew Lippa) - 8/97 - Second Reading, O'Neill Center, CT: Julia Murney (Queenie), Norm Lewis (Black), Kristin Chenoweth (Mae), Alix Korey (Madelaine True), Jeff Edgerton (one of the Brothers D'Armano, probably Oscar) S UM NM [1] (Includes the cut songs "One In A Million" and "When I First Met Him," plus a very different and much longer "Queenie Was A Blonde" (sung primarily by Black, it seems), and lots of cut/changed lyrics and material); Missing two small bits at the beginning of Side B (one of which cuts off the beginning of "What Is It About Her?"), then cuts off in the middle of "Jackie's Last Dance"; Kind of mixed on this one - sound is generally good, but sometimes very quiet, and there are the dropouts, but then again there's also the cut/changed material - it's worth having, I'd say; The first of the dropouts seems to be a flip, and it's at 57 minutes in, which leads me to believe that there's a complete version of this out there and that someone back up the line was lazy and copied it onto a 90 instead of a 120)
• The Wild Party (Andrew Lippa) - Demo with eight songs: Michael McElroy (Black), Julia Murney (Queenie), Alix Korey (Madelaine True), Kristin Chenoweth (Mae), Luther Creek, Jason Paige S UM NM CD [1] (30 Minutes; Complete cast unknown; Includes some very slight lyric changes and the original opening to "A Wild, Wild Party," as well as "The Fight," which didn't make the cast album)
• The Wild Party (Michael John LaChiusa*/Michael John LaChiusa & George C. Wolfe) - Promo recording with three songs and radio spot: Toni Collette (Queenie), Mandy Patinkin (Burrs), Michael McElroy (Oscar D'Armano), Nathan Lee Graham (Phil D'Armano), Eartha Kitt S UM NM [1] (9 Minutes; Includes an earlier version of "Wild Party" and the complete version of "Uptown")
• Wise Guys (Stephen Sondheim*/John Weidman) - 11/20/99? (Final Performance, apparently) - Workshop, NYTW: Nathan Lane, Victor Garberr, Candy Buckley (Mama), Michael Hall (Paris Singer), Kevin Chamberlin (Various), William Parry (Papa), Jessica Molaskey (Various) S U NM 2CD (Sound is good but slightly fuzzy - kinda like a radio broadcast;  Missing a bit or two of dialogue; Includes a curtain speech by Lane, which is why I think that it's the 11/20 closing night)
• The Witches Of Eastwick (Dana P. Rowe/John Dempsey*) - Demo with 7 songs: John Dempsey, Linda Balgord, Kristin Chenoweth S UM NM CD [1] (About 30 minutes; Complete cast unknown; Includes the cut songs "The Fires Of Creation" and "The Mystery Of You" (collectively replaced by "Eye Of The Beholder") along with a large chopped section of "Eastwick Knows," some slightly different lyrics in "Make Him Mine," and a bunch of changes in "Who's The Man?")
• The Witches Of Eastwick (Dana P. Rowe/John Dempsey*) - Composer/Cast Demos with around 33 songs S UM NM [1] (Includes 5 of the 7 tracks from the above demo - of the remaining 28, 7 are performed by a cast and the other 21 are performed by the authors; Includes massive amounts of unrecorded material, although some of it may still be in the show: along with several brief bits, there are the cut songs "I've Got A Life To Live" (and its reprise), "The Sky Is Falling" (and its reprise), "The Lenox House" (and its reprise), "Out, Out," "What About The Egrets?" (cut during London previews), "One Word Shy" (replaced by "Words, Words, Words"), "Little Miracles," Out Of Step" (replaced thematically by (but placed differently from) "Dirty Laundry"), and "Isn't This What Every Woman Wants?" (cut during London previews); Fascinating hearing all of this additional material, some of which is far superior to what eventually replaced it; About 90 minutes)
• *Wit's End (Norman Matthews/Dorothy Parker + Norman Matthews/Norman Matthews) - Demo with 9 songs: Karen Mason (Dorothy Paarker) S U NM CD[1] (One-woman musical about Dorothy Parker, obviously, and using her poems as lyrics; About 19 minutes; Copied from an original demo CD)
• Worldcafe (Paul Chant/Andrew MacBean*) - Demo with 14 songs - Nadia Strahan S U NM [1] (Probably the demo based on the Edinburgh festival workshop, in which case the other cast members include Joe Rice, Dermot Martin, Catherine Porter, and Ian McKeith - if not, then other cast members may include (among others) Glyn Kerslake, Sally Ann Triplett, Ali Jaier, Darryl Knock, Louise Pitre, and Charles Azulay; Great sound and attractive score; About 48 minutes)
• Valentine's Day (Denis King/Benny Green/Unknown) - Promo single with 2 songs: Alexander Hanson S U NM CD [1] (About 6 minutes; Both songs are quite lovely)
• The Visit (John Kander/Fred Ebb/Terrence McNally) - Demo with 6 songs: Lucie Arnaz (Claire Zachanassian), Brent Barrett, Alix Korey, Marc Kudisch R S U NM CD [1] (Full cast unknown; Just under 20 minutes; Good stuff, particularly the very funny "Goodbye")
• A Year With Frog And Toad (Robert Reale/Willie Reale*) - New York Stage And Film at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY - Reading, Powerhouse Theatre: Mark Linn-Baker (Toad), Robert Sella (Frog), Michael Winther (Snail/Various), Diane Sutherland (Various), Mary Stout (Various) U [1] (Amusing and tuneful; There are loud kids at points, but they don't interfere much)
• Zhivago (Lucy Simon/Susan Birkenhead/Arthur Kopit) - Demo with 12 songs: Marin Mazzie (Lara), Jeff McCarthy S U NM CD [1] (About 38 minutes; Sounds kinda muffled, but I was able to fix it up somewhat in the transfer; No accurate songlist (the one I compiled myself is pretty good at best, quite dodgy at worst); Extraordinarily depressing music; I believe that Kopit is no longer involved in the project - it may in fact be dead altogether)
