notes: As a huge fan of this underrated show, I'm absolutely in love with the tour cast. Carmen has not lost her energy, spunk and nerve as Alice and the company gives fantastic performances. There's a few new lyric changes to some songs and new people singing lines in songs (such as Sun is Gonna Shine Again) and Carmen's voice soars through her numbers. A must listen to audio! Version 1!
