Merry Christmas - The Last Starfighter
Back in October, I reviewed a performance of The Last Starfighter. It recieved a lot of attention and helped the creators of that musical in terms of recognition and attendance. About a week ago, they sent me a very special gift: a Demo CD of the Last Starfighter Musical, performed by the Original Cast at the show I saw at the Storm Theatre in New York City.
I asked if I could make copies, and they said yes, except that it could not be sold, because of Actor's Equity rules. It is to function as a demo of the musical (created by Skip Kennon and Fred Landau) and for the people performing it.
In the spirit of that and the holiday season, I am now providing this music to the world. This is going to kill my bandwidth connection, and I hope some kind soul could put up a bittorrent or a mirror to help me.
THE LAST STARFIGHTER, THE MUSICAL (Zipped File Removed)
I hope that this will open doors for the cast, crew, and creators of this musical; information on the production is included in the pack and of course I can be contacted if there are any theatre groups or performers looking to run this musical; I think it's pretty timeless.
Happy Holidays.
Update: The creators of the musical have signed with a label and their soundtrack is now for sale.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! My husband has been talking about this show for months - and kept wishing that there was a way to hear it since there was no possibility to go see it!
You have just *made* his New Years!

Dude, this rocks! I hope that someday people decide to keep this musical alive, because I would love to see it. I just finished listening to it, and it's fantastic!
