Hit: 4 Stars
Okay, I bought it suspecting different things than I got. I read the reviews, I listened to my mother who saw it back in the 50's with Lotte Lenya, and I know the background of the music, authors, style, etc. The words are very toned down due to censorship (according to CD liner) and and some of the songs have been clipped. Some I barely rcognized. However, it is still extremely enjoyable. The background "orchestra" has a good tinny sound which goes well with the music. Lots of fun listening to well known actors and actresses behaving as social misfits. Easy to listen to; worth the few bucks it cost. Wish there was more of Lenya...
