Title: Shall I Tell You What I Think of You ...
Review: An all star cast in sumptuous Philips sound ... but ... At the center of the story is Anna and it's good to hear Julie Andrews giving it a game try but, after all her well-publicized vocal trauma, it's about twenty years of vocal wear too late. It's not that it's awful, it's just sad to hear this once crystal clear voice in this rough (1992) condition. On the other hand, in the original Broadway cast, Gertrude Lawrence also had vocal issues so I guess we are ready to accept a less than perfect voice in this role. I am.The rest of the cast all acquit themselves well enough and conductor John Mauceri with the Hollywood Bowl Symphony play this familiar score beautifully.
