Title: Orig Cast of How to Succeed Gives the '95 Cast the Business
Review: Matthew Broderick is a nice guy... a very capable actor with an endearing smile, but he pales in comparison to the raw, natural talent of Robert Morse. The engaging personality and sheer energy that Morse gives to HTSIB propels this original recording to heights the '95 remake could only dream about.Some detractors have harped on the lack of "CD quality" on this 60's recording. Well, these are the same folks who prefer Citizen Kane colorized. All I can say is this is the real McCoy, a glittering star-studded show from the golden age of Broadway, not some rebaked retro. It remains a joy to listen to and be entertained by.
