Aloha!I was 16 when I first saw this musical in Honolulu, 1963. I have the original LP and the program. I am looking for hopefully a CD or cassette recording. Does anyone here know if these are available? No success other than finding some snipits online. Mahalo,Al Ku'ahi WongBoston, MA

Mary Poppins- Backing Tracks

Hi all!I'm hoping to put on Mary Poppins next spring at our high school. We don't have a strong orchestra so we depend on recorded music. I'm currently trying to secure a company to create the back tracking for the entire show (so far I have only found a handful of titles). It's relatively expensive. Is anyone thinking about doing the show and want to go in on it with us? Currently I've received quotes anywhere from $2000-$3000. This way we could help purchase the creation of the tracks AND the purchase the use of the tracks for each theatre group...thought I would throw it out there!Thanks!Becca

Rehearse Score+ vs. Performance Accompaniment Rec.

Does anyone know the difference between the two options? I've used Rehearse Score+ before but I've never used Performance Accompaniment Rec that is available. The latter is more expensive, so I assume the quality of sound is better. Is it an option for perfomances where you may be traveling and may not have the luxury of a full orchestra?Thanks.

Looking for unique set ideas for a community theatre production of LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL

As the title states I'm looking for unique set ideas. I will be directing this production in the fall but unfortunately set design isn't my most well known talent in the theatre world. I'm very familiar with the broadway production and based on searches online many other productions seemed to use the same design for set and scenery. Basically, I'm looking for insight on how to spearhead a set design that is fresh and unique.

Dear Edwina (not the junior version)

We are wanting to do the full version of Dear Edwina next year and are researching the production. In the past, we have used themtpit for approved backing for shows like Legally Blonde and Into the Woods, but Dear Edwina isn't availble through them.MTI doesn't have a performance cd for the full version either.We are preparing for live music, but wanting to see if there are any approved recordings to use as backing. The average age of our cast is 13 and we find it easier for them to rehearse and perform with pre-recorded music over live.

Godspell instrumentation

All of the recordings that I have heard or productions that I have seen of "Godspell" employ a piano, but I don't find Piano listed in the instrumentation for either the original or the 2012 update (although that one does list a keyboard/guitar #3 book). Will I receive a piano book with my instrumental books?
