Synopsis

Album Description
For the first time, the complete score to this legendary musical! This entertaining musical biography of Mark Twain ran for more than 700 performances. Presents a cast of 65, accompanied by a full symphony orchestra. Includes production numbers from Twain's famous books The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Roughing It, The Innocents Abroad, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. "An extravaganza of singing, acting, and dancing." -- New York Times "A treat to look at and hear, Mark Twain is a stirring reminder, both of a great American and a great American musical tradition." -- New York Daily News "Big-time show business. A spectacular performance." -- NBC Today Show "A stage the size of a football field. It would have cost $4,000,000 to produce this in New York." -- USA Today
 

CD Reviews

A PLEASANT SURPRISE
ROGER STEVENS | 09/25/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Most people expect original cast recordings of musicals to come out of New York or London. Occasionally there are other locations, such as Goodspeed Opera House or Paper Mill Playhouse. But Elmira, New York?



Great care has been given to this recording, with production values, orchestra and soloists all of first class quality. While the subject matter or story may not be a Broadway blockbuster, MR. MARK TWAIN is an excellent musical from every aspect. It is quite entertaining and the recording is a good value for the money."
