SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL - CD - Off-Broadway Cast Album - *SEALED/NEW*

Description: A NEW, STILL FACTORY SEALED CD COPY OFTHE ORIGINAL CAST ALBUM OF: SHOUT, THE MOD MUSICAL SHOUT! The Mod Musical is an Off-Broadway musical by Phillip George and David Lowenstein featuring songs from the swinging sixties. The musical features five female singers who are called, Orange, Blue, Green, Yellow and Red.With its irresistible blend of hip-swiveling hits, eye-popping fashions and outrageous dance moves, SHOUT! The Mod Musical takes audiences back to the music, style and freedom of the 1960s. Created by Phillip George and David Lowenstein, SHOUT! features terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as "To Sir with Love," "Downtown," "Son of a Preacher Man" and "Goldfinger."The review follows five groovy gals as they come of age during those glorious days that made England swing. Traveling in time from 1960 to 1970, SHOUT! chronicles the dawning liberation of women, from the rise of Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark and Cilla Black as independent women with major careers, to their American counterparts, redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about gender. With a shimmy and shake, the songs are tied together by hilarious sound bites from the period – from '60s advertisements to letters answered by an advice columnist who thinks that every problem can be solved with a "fetching new hair style and a new shade of lipstick."The show is set in London between the early 1960s and 1970, and follows the lives of five women in their 20s (The Red Girl), 30s (Green, Blue, and Yellow girls) and 40s (Orange girl) who all face tough situations, usually involving relationships. Throughout the story, all five women send letters to Gwendolyn Holmes, who works for the magazine "Shout!" in an advice column and who gives them advice on how to deal with these situations.The Yellow girl is the only American character in the show, who traveled all the way to Britain in order to see Paul McCartney. The Orange woman is shown as a full grown woman who is married, in her forties, and is starting to suspect her husband is cheating on her. The Blue girl is gorgeous and wealthy, and while she can go on and on about how perfect her life is, she does face some questions regarding her sexuality. The Green girl is the classic sexually-charged "racey" character in the show, always hooking up with men and throwing innuendos around. Finally, the Red girl is the youngest and most hopeful character; she is a bit hopeless in the beginning, stating she is not good-looking like other girls, until the man of her dreams comes along.SynopsisFive women look for excitement and love (Opening Medly). Rather than being named, they are identified by the color that they wear for the majority of the show. The orange girl is the oldest, who is the matriarch of the group that is in denial about her husband cheating on her. The red girl is insecure about her looks, and she is the youngest of the group. The blue girl is a beauty, and she doesn't have any friends due to her vanity. The green girl is slutty, and the yellow girl is loud and brass. The yellow girl is also American. Although the five girls are very different, they all have one thing on their mind: Love (Talk About Love)The girls all look to a fictional magazine called "Shout!" for advice, particularly the columnist named Gwendolyn Holmes (A voiceover role played by Carole Shelley). The orange girl asks Gwendolyn if she should rush into marriage, and Gwendolyn agrees that she should. Orange sings about how she only has eyes for Miles, his current boyfriend (I Only Wanna Be With You/Tell The Boys).The red girl has just gotten a boyfriend named Edward, but she is suspicious, and writes to Gwendolyn for advice. Gwendolyn suggests a beauty pageant, which causes the girls to wonder how to get a man (How Can You Tell/Wishin' And Hopin').The blue girl acts out an advertizement for Ecotcil.As the green girl sings about falling in love (One, Two, Three), the yellow girl stalks Paul McCartney, and gets his half broken comb with his dandruff on it, and the red girl sings about her own coming of age (To Sir With Love).The red girl acts out an advertizement of a birth control pill, with some nasty side effects. The green woman reads that 73% of women get anxiety when breaking up with men, and swears that it's easy, sharing some of her tactics.Orange waits for her husband for their two year anniversary, but it is of no avail (Wives and Lovers - My Handsome Prince). Blue discusses how she does not care about her suitors, and has no attachment to them (Don't Sleep In The Subway).Yellow sings about her feelings towards Billy Ray, an old fling (Son of a Preacher Man).After Shout! tells them the truth about marijuana, the girls smoke weed and sing James Bonds Theme and Goldfinger, changing it to Coldfinger, about the man with the freezing touch.Orange is getting more and more angry with Miles, and is begging him to spend time with her, even if he isn't as affectionate as he once was (You Don't Have To Say You Love Me). Blue decides she prefers diamonds over men (Diamonds are Forever), and Red sings her devotion to Edward (Puppet on a String). Green writes to Gwendolyn about breaking up with her boyfriend because he's bad in bed, and Gwendolyn says that, as a woman, Green shouldn't care about that. Times are changing for these young women, and boy do they know it (Georgy Girl/Windy).The red girl talks about an embarrassing moment with her boyfriend, but her boyfriend keeps loving her anyways (Who Am I). Orange sings (Don't Give Up). Blue is upset about not being girl of the year, and yellow is upset that Paul McCartney is married (I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself).After checking their horoscopes and gaining a new style (Notably, Orange is now wearing Purple), they sing a rousing number of (These Boots Are Made For Walking).Blue turns to Gwendolyn Holmes, admitting that she's never felt attraction to boys, particularly not the one she's currently dating, but Gwendolyn doesn't help. The girls take a quiz regarding their love life, but it's revealed that Blue's true love is a woman named Penelope, and that Green has feelings for one man, whom she wants to marry (I Couldn't Live Without Your Love). Yellow reveals that her husband, a Paul lookalike, is hitting her, and she now has a baby on the way, but Gwendolyn tells her that she should go to a marriage counselor rather than breaking it off.Blue and Orange sing about their own loves (You're My World/All I See Is You).It is now the 1970s (Those Were The Days). Orange gets Gwendolyn fired, and they celebrate (Shout!). In the end, they discuss their futures (Orange replaced Gwendolyn, Red became a teacher, Blue became an actress, Green became an airline stewardess, and Yellow became an abuse counselor), and they are glad to have been a part of the sixties (Goin' Back/Downtown) SHOUT! first appeared on stage as a musical revue at The Duplex in New York City.
