Title: For Elaine Stritch fans ONLY.
Review: This truncated, reorchestrated recording of the unsucessful 1954 revival of "On Your Toes" did absolutely nothing for me. The orchestrations are all wrong and the lyrics to some songs (noteably "Too Good for the Average Man") were unnecessarily changed to much weaker ones. Only Elaine Stritch singing "You Took Advantage of Me" (NOT from the original score) shines through. Contrary to what a previous poster said, this CD's recording of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" is NOT the longest possible version: The remastered 1983 revival recording's "Slaughter..." is SEVENTEEN minutes! In summary, if you're a fan of Elaine Stritch, buy this CD. Otherwise, the 1983 recording is preferable.
