Free Music Notes for Stop the World - I Want to Get Off (1962 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: Fabulous
Hit: 5 Stars
Hadn't heard this musical in over forty years and was delighted to find it as wonderful in 2007 as I did in the mid Sixties. I'd forgotten how brilliant a singer Newley was -- and how marvelous the score is. In this pre-election year, I was particularly impressed with how well "Mumbo Jumbo" still wonderfully satirizes all the bs re: politicians on the campaign trail. Do yourself a favor and buy this CD.Free Music Review: Great musical with great classic songs
Hit: 5 Stars
This Bricusse-Newley musical is still fresh today. Some of the songs are classic. They include "What Kind of Fool am I" and "Once in a Lifetime". Newley's voice and vocal range was at its height when this album was recorded. If you like the music in this show then you will also like the music from "Roar of the Greasepaint, Smell of the Crowd".Free Music Review: SAW IT ON BROADWAY..
Hit: 5 Stars
I SAW ANTHONY & ANNA DO THIS SHOW ON BROADWAY IN OCTOBER 1962. IT REMAINS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL OF ALL TIMES - BETTER THAN FUNNY GIRL AND HELLO DOLLY - AND THAT IS SAYNG A GREAT DEAL. I AM HAPPY TO SEE IT IS OUT IN A CD AS MY RECORD HAS WORN OUT LONG AGO.Free Music Review: a classic score of the 60's
Hit: 4 Stars
STOP THE WORLD - I WANT TO GET OFF is one of the most fascinating musical theatre scores of the 1960s, the `new-style musical' was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley and was largely tailored to Newley's vocal style.
Rarely has the score been bettered than on the original Broadway cast album, crisply reissued here on the Decca Broadway label. Anthony Newley and his pert leading lady, underrated British performer Anna Quayle, perform the score with flash and verve. The entire score is fantastic though the penultimate number "Someone Nice Like You" must count as one of the most beautiful love songs ever written for the musical stage.
Anna Quayle is a marvellous performer, sadly only really remembered for her role as the Baroness in the movie of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (a role that is great but does not represent all she was capable of), and Anthony Newley, who also headed the London company to perhaps ever greater acclaim, is in his element.
A top cast album.
