Back to Bacharach, which I attended at Club 53 in NYC in the mid to late 90s, was made, for the most part, tongue in cheek.
I hope this one is better, but seems like more of the same by the same people.

I repeat from another thread on quotations that pertain to Bacharach-related subjects, as I quote Oscar Wilde: Caricature is the tribute that mediocrity pays to genius.
How upsetting that is to me!!! I remember being unable to watch Veronica's Closet (give it a chance, that is) because of Najimy. She might have good taste in music, but overall she seems to lack the required sensibility, be to eager to make a buck, or both. With that kind of energy and entrepreneurial talent (as she does seem able to gather good talents) one ought to be able to set up a better way to showcase Burt's music -- so maybe that's not her intention.
Is there a relevant point in overemphasizing the already overly dramatic side of some of Hal's lyrics?! (Does a singer have to pretend that she's about to jump off a cliff as she sings a Bacharach song? If so, I wish that the composition were She's Gone Away -- absolutely no pun intended.)

Re: Burt Revue in LA
David says he likes it. And I did think the arranger was a good one, when I attended back then.

you get the picture.
By the way: at some point I signed up to receive Bacharach news from Yahoo. They send me a link when Burt is mentioned. Many times it doesn't seem interesting to me, but you can be the judges of that if you too sign up for the service.
