May. 21st, 2007 12:37 amSo the Drama Desk Awards have been handed out...
YaY! to Company for the Lead Actor prize for Raul Esparza, Orchestrations to Mary-Mitchell Campbell, and top prize for the Best Revival of a Musical. :)
It was interesting to note that the original and current orchestrators of Company (Jonathon Tunick and Mary-Mitchell Campbell) shared the prize. :) That, and the two revival Roberts -- Raul Esparza (2006) and Boyd Gaines (1995) -- were taking home awards :)

A quick perusal reveals that the MP3 player has songs from the numerous cast recordings: 1970 Original Broadway Cast, 1995 Roundabout revival, 1996 London revival, 2006 Doyle revival; plus the the live recordings - the Cincinnati presentation of the Doyle Cast (2006) [2006-03-17 recording], and the two recordings from the Seattle 5th Avenue Theatre production (with Hugh Panaro, Kendra Kassebaum, and Shelly Burch) [2006-11-03 and 2006-11-05] and the 2002 Sondheim Celebration at DC's Kennedy Center revival (with John Barrowman, Alice Ripley, and Lynn Redgrave).
