Taking My Turn 2010


About the Album: The original cast recording of the 1983 Off-Broadway production. With lyrics by Will Holt and music by Gary William Friedman, TAKING MY TURN won the 1984 Outer Critic's Circle Award for Best Lyrics/Music, and was a nominee for the 1984 Drama Desk Award for Best Musical. TAKING MY TURN was one of the first musicals to deal with aging. Director/Adapter Robert H. Livingston gathered a collection of the actual writings of people in their prime, which became the basis for the non-linear book. The show was an overwhelming critical success, and was presented on the PBS Great Performance Series. The exceptional cast included Margaret Whiting, Cissy Houston, Marni Nixon and Tiger Haynes.
