thanks for pointing me there ... i had come here and posted in a hurry at the begining of a new research for a piece of work and didn't take the time to find out the size and resourses of the site ... (some researcher! huh?)
while i was away looking at the links from the page you reccomended i came across something very exciting in a piece of critisism - something that will change the course of my planning enormously... for the better
-----
away now to look for bernard miles' recording of 'a christmas carol' - we loved it as kids and now it's worn out and we can find every possible recording but that one

Of course I know that these threads are long dead but I'm posting for future readers.
In 1980 (I think, around that time anyway) there was a Broadway musical called simply "Copperfield". There's not a ton of info on the internet because it did REALLY BADLY, only showing around 30 shows total and most of those for critics. It apparently was a poor adaptation that missed the point of the novel. Here's the Wikipedia page
and here's the review that gave it the good old Bradley Headstone bashing.
