Re: in a very unusual way
Have never seen the musical, has it ever been done in Perth? but know it intimately, in fact it is one of my favourite musicals...
The musical is based on Fellini's film 8 1/2
The plot centres around film director Guido Contini, and his attempts to make his new film, which is in many ways based on his own life.
The three main women in his life are his wife, his mistress, and his muse.
The song in a very unusual way is sung by his mistress, the dialogue over the top is his muse.
Think of the song as: I love you but I know i can never have you all to myself but i still love you.
I have never understood why this musical isn't done more often, I love the music, i love the story, and you would think that any musical that needs twenty odd women and only one man would be PERFECT for amateur theatre...

Re: in a very unusual way
The last professional production in Australia as far as I know was done back in the 80's with a young Tina Arena!! It is a fantastic musical with some excellent songs. One of the best I think is Ti Voglio Bene/Be Italian.
The story also deals with his relationships with women from when he was a child through to adulthood. It is a pity it is not performed more. Though I know that have revived it on Broadway recently with Antonio Banderas - I don't know about the West End

Original Broadway production in 1982 starred Raul Julia and won 5 Tonys including Best Musical and Best Score,
Was revived in 2003 starring Antonio Banderas and winning a further two Tonys including Best Revival
There was a concert version on the West End in 1992 starring Jonathan Pryce & Elaine Paige, but don't know if it was ever "properly" staged there.

Re: in a very unusual way
The Alexander Library is probably the best place for the score and info...You shouldn't have too much trouble.
