Title: Awful, awful, awful
Product review: One can assume the show's "cult" status (if it really has it) was due to the wonderful original cast. The star-studded group on this CD doesn't seem to be able to bring this score to life at all, and deprived of Dolores Gray, Elizabeth Allen, and Clive Revill, it seems the emperor has no clothes. The score is bland and mediocre, save for the clever title song (but that has a much better rendition with Christine Baranski and Jonathan Freeman on another CD). This is a big ego fest for James Lipton, but the CD is one to skip, definitely.
