Free Music Review: Nice NEW Interpretation
Hit: 4 Stars
Faith Prince is NOT Judy Holliday and it is unfair to compare her. She does give this charming, old fashioned, romantic musical a new, and welcome, spin. The score is delightful and holds up quite well after all these years, with The Party's Over and Just In Time being standards. I had forgotten how gorgeous Long Before I Knew You was, and in this recording between Prince and Mark Kudisch, is performed beautifully. While some of the plot driven numbers are a bit corny, they still retain an amount of charm.
As I have stated in previous reviews, I like revival recordings because they are technically superior to the originals, and this does not disappoint on that count.
Judy Holliday was a unique performer and personality, and the original cast recording is wonderful, but this is terrific in it's own right, and should be listened to without comparison to the original.
A shame the critics had decided the show was too corny and old fashioned for the new millenium, I guess a nice, simple, romantic musical comedy with a fantastic score, isn't welcome on Broadway anymore, it must have to be graphic and gross like Spring Awakening, or completely Disneyfied, to last.
Bells Are Ringing (2001 Revival Broadway Cast) Poster
Although she's not averse to doing new material (she appeared in William Finn's Falsettoland, for instance, and let's not forget that brilliant bomb called Nick and Nora), Faith Prince is a living embodiment of Broadway's golden age. From her star-making turn as Miss Adelaide in the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls to superb performances in the recent revivals of Little Me and The King and I, Prince always is perfectly attuned to classic material. In this short-lived revival of the 1956 musical Bells Are Ringing (directed by Tina Landau, whose previous musical-directing experience was on Floyd Collins), the singer reprises a role created by Judy Holliday and once again proves her versatility. The duet with Marc Kadisch on "Just in Time" is particularly delicious, doing full justice to that beloved song. --Elisabeth VincentelliBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
