Louis Edmonds Musical Theater Appearances

[Brian]

As most of you are aware, our beloved Louis Edmonds appeared on Broadway in the 1956 Bernstein cult musical CANDIDE.  Though his character, Maximillian, did have some singing in the show, it is sad that Louis does not sing on the original cast album.  Well, now comes word that Louis' 1960s off-Broadway show, Ernest in Love, is being released on CD this month.  Here's  a link to the cover art at AMAZON:

Thanks, Brian, for sharing this exciting news.

Ernest in Love has always been a scarce item.  I saw a copy of the vinyl on sale in Footlights Records, I believe for around $30 a few years back.

With Louis' presence on the disc, and the Oscar Wilde theme, this will be an attractive item for many collectors.

Louis re-recorded at least one song from this show on his own 1990s solo CD.

Best wishes,

Steve
