Forgotten genius
While WC is far from Al Carmines's best work, it still gives a good idea of his range and melodic invention. Sadly, very little of this genius's work is available commercially.
W.C. Must stand for "Water Closet"
W.C. must stand for "Water Closet," because this CD belongs in the toilet. Listening to it is beyond painful. Even the most ruthless captors would consider this "cruel and unusual punishment." The CD is little more than the composer and his cronies around a rehearsal piano. Anyone who has ever heard even the best Broadway composers pitch their own material at the piano knows that singers they are not. Even if the listener can get past the excruciating horror that the singing is dreadful, there is still the fact that the songs are even worse - not what one would expect from a 4-time Drama Desk / 5-time Obie winner. Worse still, is the production of the CD and materials which are rife with typos. This is shoestring garage production at best. Supposedly, "W.C." is a "1971 musical based on the life of W.C. Fields...Starring Mickey Roony (sic) and Bernadette Peters.it (sic) ran for a pre-Broadway tryout in theaters cicrling New York City." How vague is that? Did the real Mickey Rooney and Bernadette Peters get suckered into doing a couple of backers' auditions in Jersey? Do not, under any circumstance, pay for or accept a complimentary CD of this pitiful excuse for a "cast" recording.
