CD96076 Cry For Us All (Robert Weede, Joan Diener)
In response to the request for some Mitch Leigh musicals, here's an audience recording of the Broadway opening night of CRY FOR US ALL, the short-lived musical version of William Alfred's HOGAN'S GOAT. Those who have the official studio-recorded cast recording of this production will note that not only was there a great deal more musical material in the score than was on the cast recording, but there were also a number of lyric changes on the cast recording. According to a member of the cast with whom I recently spoke, the lyric changes were made specifically for the recording. Some of the changes were made to remove sexual content and what was then deemed profanity, but other lyric changes had no evident purpose and simply puzzled the cast.
