Peter’s Trivia Section:
When a musical was first released on CD almost 25 years after its premiere, the liner notes included this sentence: “To hear the show in its musical entirety, program track 4 to repeat after tracks 5, 6, 10 and 23.”
What was the musical, and what was so special about Track 4 that it should be repeated four times?
