Title: John Kander's first musical
Product review: This is a wonderful rarity from the Golden Age, and known chiefly for being the first Broadway score composed by John Kander, and it is very unusual for Kander. It doesn't sound like the more familiar musicals he later wrote with longtime partner Fred Ebb. Nevertheless, it is full of unusual character songs and "special material" that should find their way into many a Cabaret act. I for one, was surprised that Shelley Berman could sing as well as he does, and that Eileen Heckart could sing at all. It won't be an album I play all the time, but will certainly be one I listen to when I want to smile.
