Title: Very Disappointing!
Review: I wish I had read some of the other reviews of this DVD before buying it (sorry, Amazon, this one I bought in a store). The ones that are critical of this version of "The Magic Show" are EXACTLY right on. HUGE disappointment that 2 of the show's original songs ("Solid Silver Platform Shoes" and "West End Avenue") are replaced by inferior ones, one is in but has been altered ("Charmin's Lament"), and one is gone and not replaced at all ("Goldfarb Variations").Granted, this was made back in '81 and maybe today the choices would have been different ("Solid Silver Platform Shoes" is on another CD as recent as 1999 -- on Alice Ripley's and Emily Skinner's duet album "Unsuspecting Hearts").However, this is not at all representative of the show I saw on Broadway. Didi Conn was the wrong choice, and Anita Morris was wasted.
Is the review positive or negative?
