The songs Lost Horizon, Stars, and etch a sketch, are great songs. I think there is another good one in the beginning too. I'm not sure I understand what the musical is though. There is a spanish and german song in it too, but of course I don't know what they are. It is a very short recording. Can't imagine what the show was like being so very short.

I am an avid collector of Cast Recordings and this one caught my eye. It seems like an interesting idea for a show. The problem is, that is all it is, an "idea".
The music is barely listenable, there is no discernible plot line, and not a single memorable character or moment.
The only plus side to this album is the fact that it is extremely short so your boredom is thankfully brief.

Running less than 20 minutes, GONE MISSING (by the theatre group THE CIVILIANS) may seem a bit short for musical theatre lovers. But it's certainly worth the listen. Clever lyrics, fun and very moving music, and a talented cast come together on this CD to show us who or what "goes missing" and how this affects people. Especially beautiful is "Lost Horizon," sung flawlessly Robbie Collier Sublett.

10 tracks...rhymes Kinshasa w/ tabula Rasa. Better yet...rhymes bris and Chis (anybody know any Jews named Chris?) Frightful. Makes Shout! seem worthy. Move on. Only for the desperate collector. This recording should follow its name...
