	King Arthur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Supporters of this theory often link it to the Welsh etymology of Arthur's name as derived from 'bear', proposing bear gods named Artos or Artio as the precedent for the legend, but these particular deities are known to have been worshipped by the continental Celts, not the Britons.
		The origin of the name Arthur is itself a matter of debate, and is very much connected to the debates concerning his historicity.
		Griffen and others believe that Arthur might not be derived from a Latin original such as Artorius, as proponents of the above theories suspect, but could have been a nom de guerre used by or an epithet bestowed upon the leader who fought against the Saxons.

	Original Cast Album - Company - doctorsbookstore.com Info and Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While a proposed series of original cast recording sessions for documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Don't Look Back) never materialized, Original Cast Album: Company survives as the first and only entry, and it was fortuitous that its subject was the 1970 musical Company.
		This puts all the pressure on the recording session, as cast member Susan Browning explains during the recording of "You Could Drive a Person Crazy": a live performance can be imperfect, but "this is different.
		It's a documentary of how the original cast recording of Company was put together a few days after the show opened in New York.

	Godspell [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Five of the ten ensemble performers were retained from the original cast, along with all four of the original musicians, and Schwartz produced the music, as he had on the cast album.
		The key casting change was the replacement of Stephen Nathan, who played Christ onstage, with Victor Garber [+], a talented young singer/actor who would go on to a distinguished stage career that would include two Stephen Sondheim [+] musicals, Sweeney Todd and Assassins.
		With a bigger budget, Schwartz was able to augment the original musicians using key studio personnel such as lead guitarist Hugh McCracken [+] (on "Prepare Ye [The Way of the Lord]") and keyboard player Paul Shaffer [+], along with a horn section and half dozen strings.

	Original Cast Album: Company \| The A.V. Club
		Artists have historically been eager to work with him, and it's easy to see why: Less a muckraker than an unrepentant humanist, Pennebaker loves creative folk, and his films resonate with curiosity and fondness for the people he's documenting.
		Originally conceived as a pilot for a TV show that would document a different cast recording every week, the 1970 film Original Cast Album: Company documents the marathon recording session for the cast album of Company, a musical that would become one of lyricist and composer Stephen Sondheim's greatest triumphs.
		Original Cast Album: Company would be worth viewing solely for Sondheim's witty lyrics and infectious music, but the human drama makes the session especially riveting.

	Original Cast Album: Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 - PopMatters Music Review
		You might think with the title Ziegfeld Follies of 1936: A Decca Broadway Original Cast Album that this might be a recording of the original cast, which included Josephine Baker, Bob Hope and Fanny Brice.
		Sadly, this is the original cast of the 1999 City Center Encores!
		By 1936, the Ziegfeld Follies were a hegemonic blockbuster event on Broadway; although originator Florenz had died four years earlier, his tradition, carried on by wife Billie Burke, was absolute gold in live theater.

		The album was made with some members of the original cast as well as artists brought in just for the recording.
		Actually having gone to a live performance was a prerequisite for enjoying these early cast albums to their fullest; that is, to recreate 'a night in the theater'.
		Although the cast album OL 5180 was originally released just in mono, the recording session was done in both monaural and stereo.

	THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW: Original Roxy Cast (1974)
		Film veteran Graham Jarvis was cast as The Narrator, but the rest of the cast were mainly unknowns at the time.
		His performance on this album is energetic, tough, and (in my opinion) better than his performances on the RHS Original London Cast album and TRHPS Original Soundtrack.
		This album is a HUGE step forward from the Original London Cast album.

	Hair [Original London Cast]: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		The original London cast album also replicated the success of the original Broadway cast album, peaking in the U.K. Top Five.
		The recording took the same approach as its American counterpart and was similarly filled with expressive performances, notably those of Paul Nicholas [+] as Claude and Oliver Tobias as Berger, replacing lyricist/librettists James Rado and Gerome Ragni.
		In 1993, when Polydor undertook a CD reissue, it added all of the Fresh Hair tracks to the original album.) But the score remained an alternately giddy and anguished collage of slogans, pronouncements, pleas, and excerpts from Shakespeare and Abraham Lincoln, all set to catchy pop/rock.

	Godspell Original Cast
		Continuing with Stephen Schwartz musicals, she performed in Working, and sings James Taylor's song "Mill Worker" on the cast album with her folk-singer tone that is perfect for the piece.
		She was the original stage manager and close friend of Stephen Schwartz.
		This is the female role that sings least, and therefore should be cast with a strong comedienne.

	Original Cast Album - Company DVD
		All the other cast members had been dismissed, so it was just Stritch, the orchestra, and the recording and creative teams.
		The performances are for the microphones, not the lenses, so you see quite a few candid moments throughout the evening, and this gives the film a heightened intensity, and even moreso because the whole thing runs just under an hour.
		They carefully drop comments in where it doesn't take away from the original interview moments in the film, and there's a minimum of rambling, which is all too typical of such tracks on other DVDs.

	THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW: Original Australian Cast (1974)

		Also, Riff-Raff on this album is performed by Sal Sharah, who also performs Riff-Raff on the Original New Zealand Cast album.
		Although this is an import, the Original Australian Cast album was released in the US for a very limited time in 1975 on the Elephant Records label.

		The original Broadway cast album of MY FAIR LADY is a mandatory disc in every self-respecting musical fan's collection.
		If you are like I and have not heard the original Broadway cast version since it was out on vinyl in the 60's you are in for a treat.
		The monaural sound on this original cast album is not great, but is also not as bad as some would like us to believe.

	Mame (Original Cast) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The choice of composer/lyricist Jerry Herman to do the score was obvious; Herman had just scored a hit with Hello, Dolly!, another period story of an eccentric, larger than life female character.
		And, according to Herman's annotations to the 1999 reissue of the 1966 Broadway cast album, everything else went well, too, including the felicitous casting of Angela Lansbury and a smooth out-of-town tryout period.
		Add a cast headed by Tony Award winners Lansbury, Frankie Michaels, and Beatrice Arthur, and you have the makings of a terrific cast album.

	HOW TO AUDITION FOR A MUSICAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		When you have a good idea of which character or characters you might be suited to cast, seek out songs from similar musicals that have characters with similar traits as those you think suit you in the show being cast.
		At the initial audition, it is generally not a good idea to sing a song from the show being cast.
		If you do sing a song from the show being cast, you run the risk that the character you choose to audition for might not fit the vision the auditor has for that character, and you could be eliminated for that role.

	Original Cast Album: Seussical - PopMatters Music Review
		And learning that Eric Idle was also to be involved (his final credit is for "conceiving" the show with Ahrens and Flaherty) only increased my interest -- Idle and his former Monty Python colleagues being among my heroes as well.
		Or maybe Seussical, like too many original musicals these days (not that we've seen too many original musicals these days) doesn't hold up when it's music comes down with a bump from up there on the stage.
		For whatever reason, this original cast album is most thoroughly unconvincing.

		I shall try and just give an overview of the album, because if I were to discuss each track, I wouldn't know when to stop.
		The show requires a lot from its lead performers....Sisi and Franz Joseph age nearly 45 years, der Tod's supernatural, and Lucheni's narrating the life story of someone he despised for what she represented, yet he can't turn the audience against her too much, or too soon.

		This version of the soundtrack to the hit musical is from the stage production, which ended rather differently than the movie: just about the entire cast (except for the backup singers) winds up as lunch for the hungry plant.
		I'm a sucker for the whole "This is where it all began" aspect of original cast albums, not matter how simple or rough around the edges they be (The 1973 London cast of The Rocky Horror Show is a perfect example), and it's these humble recordings that are usually, if not always my favorite.
		She has a funny way of saying her words which adds to the character, but then she gets into this weird little kind of soultry, kind of soprano, and kind of belty voice.

		To capture the experience, Pennebaker and his crew took three hand-held cameras into the studio to film the singers, orchestra, and control booth, then condensed the 18.5-hour recording session into a captivating 60 minutes.
		Witness the intensity and sheer enjoyment on the faces of the cast, record producer Thomas Z. Shepherd, show producer-director Harold Prince and Sondheim himself, as they become alternately exhilarated and exasperated while listening and trying to solve various problems.
		This is a rare look at an important moment in Broadway history, a must-have for Broadway enthusiasts.

	Aisle Say: SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE, Original Cast Album (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Unlike a number of the cast albums I've reviewed recently "Smokey Joe's Cafe" doesn't always document the "feel" of the stage production, even though, to the ear, the performances would seem to be identical.
		Possibly the fact that these songs were conceived for records rather than the stage works its own magic; though no doubt some subtler considerations behind the scenes contribute to the album's richness.
		A personal favorite: Pattie Darcy Jones, whose voice, after a lifetime of rock bands and backup vocals, is (in the words of a friend of mine) "beautifully damaged." Every now and again you hear sandpaper ripping across her vocal chords.

	The AVENUE Q - Original Cast Album is here!
		Listening to it has only reaffirmed my feelings that this is the smartest, sharpest, and most cheerfully unsentimental and HONEST original score to be heard on Broadway in many years.
		I'd be willing to bet that the median age of the audience at Avenue Q is a lot lower than the usual 50-60-70 year old greying demographic.
		It's an original work by two very bright young authors, another reason to be happy.
