the showtune project

The original recording of Evita sounds similar to JC Superstar. There's some musical creepiness going on. Plus a little bit of guitar and "rock" that I think gets lost in the American version. And Che wails a lot like Judas did. (which fits into the Che:Judas::Evita:Jesus::Peron::Mary M structure) I'm just trying to decide what are the best songs of the Law and Order project. I am going to have to bring notes!

Also Godspell better than Jesus Christ Superstar?? What? Not that I've heard Godspell, but Ethan Mordden description of it includes the phrase "stupid hippies" so it's not exactly loking good, is it?
