nicholas 1 Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Has anyone heard John Williams' "Thomas and the King", a musical he wrote in the early eighties? I believe a cast-recording is available. It seems to have been widely panned by the critics at the time, and then quietly forgotten. Is it an aberration worth seeking out, or best left to rest?

It's worth owning just to hear John Williams attempting to write a humerous musical based on the Murder of Beckett! What was he thinking about??? His next comic musical will be called "Nazi War Attrocities".

pixie_twinkle 60 Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I've still never seen that movie, and I should add it to the thread about films I'm embarassed for not having seen!
