Title: One of Cowards' best - and Stritch isn't bad either.
Product review: I must disagree with all of the other reviewers. This is a top-notch Coward score, with lilting melodies and absolutely chockfull of brilliant rhymes. Coward, Porter and Sondheim were/are the three greatest composer/lyricists of the 20th century, and this is IMHO Coward's best score. It doesn't take a Stritch to make a line like"In the smallest street, where the gourmets meetThey invariably fetch up.And it's hard to make them accept a steakThat isn't served rare and smeared with ketchup"be funny. Though she certainly doesn't hurt! I would put this show in the same category as the Rodgers/Sondheim "Do I Hear a Waltz" and Coward's other 60's flop "The girl who came to supper" as neglected masterpieces. I say: buy!
