i used to want to be him/her when i was a child.

obviously i now see it's kevin bishop,

but as a child, this was the ultimate hermaphrodite hybrid.

I love his voice. It's wonderful! I love Rizzo lol "to tell the truth I really wouldn't mind if...if we found some place with 10 square meals a day!" xD

@HermioneGrangerGal oh ok that sounds cool =) I love Professional Pirate too, prolly my favorite song from the movie

[HermioneGrangerGal]

@thephantombutterfly6 we had a score, and the producer was looking for inspiration, and he used this song and also Professional Pirate. The one we did was a lot closer to the real story, so Jim didn;t have companions, et cetera...but probably a lot less fun than with the Muppets. We had a real score from the original musical, but then we just added in these two songs as the producer thought htat it would be beneficial to the producton.

@HermioneGrangerGal how'd you do it without muppets?

[HermioneGrangerGal]

I was Jim Hawkins in a musical of this, as no boy of the right age who could act had an unbroken voice. It was weird, but we didn't have the muppets (sadly).

@GearyAdam1 I could be wrong, but I'm sure I remember seeing a programme about this, where they said that his voice broke during filming, so they had to use the recordings of his songs they made during rehearsals
