I have been ...Thank you thank you for this tribute. I have been equally intrigued by Cheryl's story and searched for where she might have re-emerged. But, she apparently could not be coaxed back to further share her gifts. We have to be satisfied with the great solo piece (and her part in the finale, which is also worth mentioning). I've listened to the soundtrack so many times over the years – first as a cassette, which eventually broken, and then after a long dry spell, via the Godsend of streaming services. It may be that in its variety and virtuosity the film's music is my best shot at a "desert island disc" I could enjoy exclusively, eternally. I do want to take advantage of your excellent – and unique – online tribute to salute one of the primary reasons the music has stayed so fresh for me and I suspect others – bassist Wilbur Bascomb Jr., whom I had to do my own detective work to identify, is the pumping heartbeat of so much of this show. So, here's a nod to him, Cheryl, Nell, Twyla, Milos and the rest. Thanks again!Theatertimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377903065856283534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354162813915609710.post-3588529861209881782020-07-08T18:08:41.388-07:002020-07-08T18:08:41.388-07:00Note: she was in Bernstein's "Mass" ...Note: she was in Bernstein's "Mass" but it wasn't on Broadway.

I was 17 at the time. I remember being absolutely mesmerized by this performance. Of course the movie is a family staple now. All my kids know every scene by heart. It really is amazing that she never went anywhere after this movie. Mind you I have never seen anything musically from Treat Williams since then either.
