Re: JCO: Discussion Question

I haven't seen the opera, but I have the CD from it which is very good.
There is one funny song in particular all about a picnic with people singing
about all the food, like a glorification of all this gluttony they are
participating in. And I believe that the woman who originally played Kelly
in the first production is a member of this discussion forum. I hope she
still is a member because she was very nice (and she has a beautiful voice
on the CD.
