The Cinderella Cast Recording featuring Lea Salonga is already out in the Philippines. IN fact, some are already up on eBay. :)

Is this what I signed up for? Being libeled in the local fish-wrap?

Anyway, I will admit, I hate musicals. Abhor. Loathe. Despise. You get the idea. However, I never said that the Music Man was the worst ever, it is pretty bad though.

My problem with musicals is that they are too over-the-top cheesy, campy and in-your-face to be enjoyable. There's is no subtlety or nuance. Just an all-out assault on the senses, an affront to good taste. I did enjoy the Utah Symphony's opening number however, best part of the show.

You certainly have your work cut out for you. :)
