So a friend is going in for an initial audition for a spring revival of My Favorite Time of Year. No clue about it. Any word?

This should never flopped the first time around. Glad to ear that it due to come back.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Do you mean My Favorite Year, or is this a show I have never heard of?

Don't know anything about a Spring revival but York is doing it in Mufti in December, I believe.

Saw the original at Lincoln Center with Tim Curry. Believe this first Ahrens/Flaherty show. I remember enjoying it a lot and loving the song "Larger Than Life" . Brought back memories of my time in the 70's& 80's touring old theaters all over the country . I always had a small beef with them re the lyric "porcelain angels" They were always plaster like the rest of the theater but it was a small error.

After Ragtime, this is their best score imo.

Cannot see a regular revival as the show flopped. Perhaps Encores is an option.

Agree re this being right behind Ragtime.

I remember looking forward to this show and thinking that Tim Curry was perfectly cast, but I thought it was totally mediocre in every respect. Even Andra Martin, who I love, was only okay. She did not deserve a Tony...that category was very bad that year.

i realized from Mr. Roxy's comments that I never purchased the CD, because the score made no impression when I saw it. Made me think...the only Ahrens / Flaherty score that I have liked is Ragtime, which I think is one of the 2 or 3 best in the past 20 years. I admit that I have never listened to Once on This Island, but I thought Rocky's score, MFY's, Seussical's were all mediocre. Am forgetting what else they did right this minute.

I've got to dig up the cast CD this weekend. I remember not being too impressed with it upon release...but absence makes the heart grow fonder. Sometimes.

Roxy, The Emperor's New Clothes, Lucky Stiff and Once On This Island all preceded My Favorite Year.

So they did! I didn't look at the dates just saw the notice. There hasn't been a casting notice released on My Favorite Year at this point, then.

I bought the cast album because I love the film and I really enjoy most of A&F's scores, but I have to admit that I found it both extremely obvious and pretty dull.

my stars... what a terrible musical. I saw a local production of it and frankly, it was unmemorable and unfunny. Maybe elevated by superb actors it is something special, but the material is bland.

Just found this thread while searching Ahrens and Flaherty.
Wasn’t there a workshop of a revised version a few years ago?

There was a concert version of this a few months back at 54 Below (October 2017 I think...?), I'm assuming it was a revised version; it was a lot of fun! The cast was excellent (it included Adam Chanler-Berat and Douglas Sills).
