Title: I LOVE LUCY BUT NOT IN THIS!
Review: I've been a huge fan of Lucille Ball for years but she just isn't Mame or Auntie Mame for that matter. It's not just that she was too old for the part or lacked a singing voice, she was terribly miscast, plain and simple.If Angela Lansbury had played the part and Lucy had taken a "Guest Star" role as Vera Charles, this might have been a classic.The score, with a couple of exceptions, is mainly ho hum, and drags in places where it needs jazzing up. So if you want a more energetic and fun version I suggest as others have, get the Broadway Cast CD which has a lot more life to it.
