Review title: Buy some other Gershwin
Product review: There is a reason this show closed after 46 performances. One critic called it "devastatingly routine" and that it is. Ira Gershwin called one of the songs he did for this show "the worst lyric I ever wrote".If you did a blind listening of the music, it would be hard to tell it was written by George Gershwin. Ditto the lyrics by Ira. This recording would be useful only to Gershwin scholars. I found it useful in a practical way---just to remind myself that giants like the Gershwins are not gods. They did have an all-too-human flop. I'd buy another Gershwin instead of this disappointment. I gave it just one star and that for effort, not results.
