Free Music Review: TAKE ME ALONG IS A MUSICAL FROM THE GOOD OLE DAYS
Hit: 5 Stars
I get so upset when someone tries to compare a musical written over 40 years ago with the current crop of Broadway musicals.I saw Take me Along with the original cast and it was wonderful with a score to match all the wonderful performances.
Just to see the likes of Jackie Gleason and Walter Pigeon doing a soft shoe live on a Broadway stage was an experience in itself.
Eileen Herlie, Myrtle of All My Children, gave a moving performance that brough tears to the audiences' eyes when she sang, If You Promised Me A Rose.
Please people do not compare the tuneful musicals of 40 years ago with the musicals of today.
I saw Wildcat with LUCY and as well as the musicals of that era as a child and I always left the theater humming a song or two.
What musicals of today can you say the same thing about????
Why are the revivals the major musicals on Broadway today???
By the way, some year years back, I saw an all black production of TAKE ME ALONG and it was just as wonderful as the first time I saw the show. The music still held up as well as the book.
Fortunately, I was able to obtain a recording of this production and unfortunately this production was never picked up for a revival on Broadway.
To quote another most hummable tune from one of those ole Broadway musicals, I Ain't Down Yet and neither are the great musicals of the 1960s!!!!
To me the greatest musicals ever written were from the late 1950s through the 1960s.
There will never be a time again when such stars as Carol Channing, Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Bea Lillie, Gwen Verdon, Angela Lansbury, Inga Swenson, Liza Minnelli, Georgia Brown, Elizabeth Allen, Joan Diener and Barbra Streisand all competed against each other at one time or another for the coverted Tony Award.
That was Broadway and they were STARS and the shows had MUSIC and LYRICS.
