Title: Good concert version
Review: This CD is a good concert version of the original Broadway show. Jerry Bock's score and Sheldon Harnick's lyrics can be schmaltzy, but they invite one to sing along. Some of that schmaltz is satirical. Adding some of thew dialogue helps the listener to understand the context for a song. Still a favorite, "The Picture of Happiness" is a politically incorrect assessment of prostitution. "Artificial Flowers", while satirizing the kind of pulp fiction of the day, still manages to be sentimental. And "My Gentle Young Johnny" combines satire and sentiment in the yearning of a prostitute for one special man. One surprise for this listener was realizing that David Ogden Stiers can sing.
