Company - A Musical Comedy (1995 Broadway Revival Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Veanne Cox, ...
Angel Records, 1996
A True Original After All These Years
+ A different side of Sondheim
Nearly 35 years after its original Broadway premiere, Stephen Sondheim's "Company" remains one of the most unique and daring works of musical theatre ever. The true definition of a concept musical, the show enschews a traditional, linear plot in favor of vignettes that offer insight into the lives ...

Ballroom (1979 Original Broadway Cast)
Billy Goldenberg, Sally-Jane Heit, ...
Sony, 1992
Wonderful !!!
+ Old tunes, old cast, touching stories.
+ Old tunes, old cast, touching stories.
"Ballroom" was based on a T.V. movie, titled "The Queen of the Stardust Ballroom". The show was a flop, but an interesting idea none the less. Columbia, thankfully, perserved this fascinating score that needs to be rediscovered. If you have never heard of the authors, do not worry, neither had I. ...

Bring Back Birdie
Original Soundtrack
Varese Sarabande, 1993
Broadway's First Sequel.....
+ Bad musical does not mean a poor score
Although not a musical masterpiece, you can't deny Charles Strouse and Lee Adams can certainly whip up an exciting, catchy, and most of all fun score for Broadway's first Sequel, BRING BACK BIRDIE. Chita Rivera received a Tony nomination for recreating 'Rosie' a role she played in Broadway's 1960 ...

Now Is the Time for All Good Men (1967 Original Off-Broadway Cast)
Nancy Ford, Gretchen Cryer, ...
Drg, 2003
A glorious musical comedy score!
Presented in 1967 at the Theatre de Lys, NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN was an anti-war musical very much of its time. There were many "anti-war" musicals in the late 60s and early 70s and invariably featured a rock score that was not inherently theatrical. But this score, written by two women ...

The Nervous Set (1959 Original Broadway Cast)
Tommy Wolf, Fran Landesman, ...
Drg, 2002
An underrated gem!
The songs in this musical are simply wonderful! Canny, passionate, "beat," and sardonic. The story, its characters, and the lyrics are classic Greenwich Village of the late 1950's. This CD features talented singers and actors (including a very young Larry Hagman),a great lyricist, lush and ...

Seventh Heaven (1955 Original Broadway Cast)
Victor Young, Don Coster, ...
Decca, 2003
Worth having
The failure of this show broke Victor Young's heart. Based on a classic silent film from the late '20s starring Janet Gaynor and Chalres Farrell, the show tried to float a story which by the '50s was out of time and place. Fresh-faced and apple-pie-personality Gloria DeHaven was miscast in the ...

I Had a Ball (1964 Original Broadway Cast)
Stan Freeman, Jack Lawrence, ...
Decca Broadway, 2003
Fun score! Great cast minus the star
+ CD NOW OUT OF PRINT
+ My Heart Belongs to a Belter
Buddy Hackett is the worse thing about this recording. Leave him out of the mix and you're left with three Broadway greats, La Mancha's own Richard Kiley, iron lunged Karen Morrow and the wonderfully sexy Luba Lisa. No the score isn't Broadway's best, much in the same league as flops like "Bajour", ...
