Stay With Me Nora wma | mp3
Notes
When we opened in the fall of 1982, after a lengthy
tryout at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, and closed about
a week later, it was up to that point the biggest flop in the
history of Broadway. But, for me, it was one biggest thrills
and privileges to work with some of greatest talents the stage
has known.
The story was based on Henrik Ibsen's "A
Doll's House," and picked up after Nora, the heroine of
the play and our musical, slammed the door on her husband, Torvald,
and children. I played Otto, a violin-playing, impoverished
artist who becomes romantically involved with Nora on her journey
of emancipation.
Stay With Me Nora: A love song.
Years later it was Larry Grossman, the composer,
who invited me to sing with John Raitt and Harry Connic, Jr.
on the 2002 Tony Awards.
