There are many reasons I've been lax here. First, I'm pretty sure no one's reading. Also, I have a short attention span.
Does two count as many? Whatever.
Some recent show tunes include:
Show Girl: 1961 Original Broadway cast (Gaynor) The one and only Carol Channing.
Say, Darling: 1958 Original Broadway cast (Styne/Comden & Green)
Song of Norway: 1944 Original Broadway cast member (Grieg/Wright & Forrest) Original star Irra Petina's role was taken by Kitty Carlisle on the Decca original cast album (I thinl it had something to do with contract exclusivity). So, she recorded six songs from the show, released on three 78s, which I found for $3.
LoveMusik: 2007 Original Broadway cast, live (Weill/various) Not that I own any bootlegs.
Spring Awakening: 2006 Original Broadway cast (Shiek/Sater) I like it more every time I hear it, though it is somewhat reviled by many show queens.
Judy Garland: The Complete Decca Masters (various) All four discs. In one day.
Misery: 2000 Demo recording (De Young) Based on the novel by Stephen King. It's no Carrie. But then, nothing is. (Love that artwork, though.)
I know that there have been others - I do listen to showtunes constantly. I just don't remember what any of them are.
In other news, I slipped on the el platform yesterday and gave myself a concussion.
