Free Music Review: None Better!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, the story is dated (since we all now have answering machines) but who cares? This musical is brimming with the wonderful talent of the great late Judy Holliday who steals the show. So many great Jule Styne songs come from this musical, such as "Just In Time" and "The Party's Over". This CD contains several songs that were not in the movie (also starring Judy Holliday) which I also love. One that is particularly hilarious is "Salzburg" which is sung with Jean (All In The Family) Stapleton. Currently there is a 2001 Broadway revival of this musical starring Faith Prince (Guys and Dolls), which I hear is pretty good. Although I plan to purchase it, I know it won't top this recording. They don't get better than this. Highly Recommended!!
Bells Are Ringing (1956 Original Broadway Cast) Poster
In 1956, Judy Holliday was at the peak of her fame--she had just won an Oscar for Born Yesterday, and her old buddies Comden and Green were about to write a Broadway show for her. Bells Are Ringing may not be among composer Jule Styne's top-drawer scores, but the show benefits from Comden and Green's reliably zany book and lyrics (it's simply impossible not to crack up at songs like "Mu-Cha-Cha"), and Holliday is magnificent as phone operator Ella Peterson. The bonus tracks include Styne doing "Boogie Woogie Shoogie, Baby of Mine," which was cut from the show because the vocally challenged leading man, Sydney Chaplin, couldn't handle it. But even he can't ruin the show's biggest hit (the wonderful "Just in Time"), which brilliantly manages to be equally emotional and funny--the exact combination that made Holliday such a compelling star, come to think of it. --Elisabeth VincentelliBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
