Mon, 14 Apr 2003, 03:12 pm...and according to the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, they're doing the first fully orchestrated 'Songs For A New World' under the direction of JRB himself.
Well, I hope I'm proved decidedly wrong. Perhaps keep an eye on this one and if they do well with their box office it may be a nod for you? People's appetites may well be whetted for it.
PS The references to 'we came over in a crowded ship' and 'working the railroads' can make sense with a white guy, but I feel they have far more impact, particularly in the context of an American history/journey, if an African American performer does them, as per the original recording. Just my opinion, though.
