Title: Captures 40's post-War swing era with danciest of R&H scores
Product review: Rodgers & Hammerstein's only score written directly for the screen has finally come to the stage with great results. The original six songs from the 1945 movie and one from the '62 remake have been augmented with others from ALLEGRO, ME AND JULIET and PIPE DREAM to create a full Broadway score. The songs have been so beautifully interpolated that they all feel like they belong in the same show telling the same story. The orchestrations really swing, perfectly capturing the '40's post-War big band feel of the period in the extensive dance music. This excellent recording that does what all show recordings should: it makes you want to see the show!
