Does anyone knows where can I listen to the song Esmeralda's Dream from Paul Simon's 1998 musical play The Capeman? I just recently heard about this musical and as a fan of musicals and Paul Simon, I became obsessed. I've been listening to the Songs from the Capeman album on spotify but it doesn't have all the songs. I just can't understand why the play flopped so hard, besides all the controversy surrounding the subject, the songs are amazing.
Correction they’re vocal selections according to a comment on the original post

Anybody have the libretto or script for this musical? Thanks!
Ive been listening to Paul Simon for many years, but yesterday went through his back catalogue for records I might have missed and found Songs From The Capeman.
An interesting record with some great moments. I’d heard the track Bernadette from a greatest hits, but didn’t realise it fit in with an overall narrative. The Vampires was also a stand out track for me. “If you’ve got the balls, then come on, mette mano”
I just started listening to the OBC. My god, there is a lot of exposition. The music is quite nice, lyrics are decent, but it seems like it might've been a bit too ambitious from Paul Simon. I'm only a few songs in, mind you.
It's so good. Africa is a documentary on Netflix and songs from the capeman is a Paul Simon album.
If you haven't listened to Capeman, you should. Powerful album about a real story from the boroughs of NYC. Sad strong and powerful. The first verse from Sing about me, when you hear the shell casings hitting the ground cutting off Dave's brother hit me in a very visceral way.
On the way for a camping trip with my wife over this weekend, we listened to GKMC front to back. I caught that teary feeling in my stomach and looked over to see my wife was tearing up to.
Kendrick did something very special with this album.
Bonus: First track of Capeman And the Second
Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

It’s pronounced “Noel.”
After all his first name is No-vac
