Title: Great show, terrible recording
Review: This is a really cute show. I just produced it with my high school kids, and everyone loved it - cast, crew, audience. Really successful. We almost didn't do the show, however, because this recording is so appalling. Julie Andrews shines in her first Broadway show, but it's almost like they picked everyone else to be really bad so that she would look really good. The men are decent, but the women just make you cringe. If you're looking for a cute little show for community theatre and high school, this is it -- but don't buy the CD!Incidentally, Julie Andrews is producing a revival of this show for Broadway for the 2004 season. Maybe a new cast recording will accompany it - one can only hope!
