here. Brace yourselves for a whole lotta ugly comin' at you from a neverending parade of stupid.

Each label (or the producer who did the cast albums for each label) seemed to have its own policy and personal taste concerning acoustics and engineering, so you could spot each major label from the sound. Hence the excessive reverb on Capitol; the bright, clear and very loud sound at RCA; that strangely cheesy and muffled sound on MGM; and that warmth you describe on Columbia, which even at its most garish sounded classy and restrained....

it also doesn't take into account foreign box office, which can be substantial. It made Phantom of the Opera a huge hit, instead of a flop. The same is the case with Evita And at $609,841,637, Mamma Mia is the 46th highest grossing movie of all time! I'm only here for the cookies

I don't think it is open to the public. but I hope it goes to Broadway. The most interesting news, however, is that MARIN MAZZIE is playing Carrie's mother.
