Free Music Notes for Bells Are Ringing (1956 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: the faith prince recording and the judy holliday recording..
Hit: 5 Stars
Although the new cast recording with Faith Prince helped me understand the show much better (its surprising how a song i listened to on this original album was suddenly seen in a much clearer light). This is all mostly because the new recording includes dialogue leading into it (with underscoring). I would have to disagree with anyone however, who said that Judy Holliday is mostly remembered for her acting and the comedy she brings to this role and not her singing. Her singing is beautiful and her emotions thorougly felt. "The Party's Over" is amazing and deserves far more credit as one of the best in the score. "I'm going back" is also done terrificly, her voice varies incredibly in just that one song. "Long Before I knew You" and "Just in time" are also terrific and whoever it is that plays Jeff does not lack at all in his vocals. He sings the songs so smoothly...they just flow right with him. There are also great ensemble numbers "It's a simple little system" , "Drop That name" and "the Midas touch" is sooo cute. I'd have to say that if you buy this CD and love it...or already know you loves this cd...buy the new broadway recording with Faith Prince for a new understanding of it. Although I dislike how Prince sings "The Party's Over" (With that song you have to go full out on the vocals..she speak-sang to much of it). But of course, many of the tracks on the new recording are wonderful (its lucky that many of the original arrangements were kept) and the song "Better Than a Dream" should be listened to..I just love it and i dont recall it being on the original. Anyways...I defiently reccomend this musical to listen to and for singers out there who are looking for new material "The Party's Over" is a wonderful song to perform!
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
