Hit: 5 Stars
I had trouble obtaining this CD, but finally did and am glad I put forth the effort...I had a Hal Bowens' Orchestra rendering of the Musical on an old LP, which I enjoyed listening to for years and have since put it on CD, but is nice to add the Original Cast CD to my collection...this is probably the only Musical Jackie Gleason ever did and he is wonderful as Sid, and is well supported by Eileen Herlie (who just passed away at about the age of 90), Robert Morse, and Walter Pidgeon...it is very melodic with tunes by Bob Merrill (Funny Girl, How Much is that Doggie in the Window, and other novelty songs)...this is an old fashioned Musical, which for the most part has gone by the wayside, although, it would be wonderful to see a revival of this show....the music grows on you...."Promise me a Rose" "Sid OL Kid" "Nine O'Clock" "But Yours" "Wer'e Home", title song and others...all of the stars have passed on for the most part other than Robert Morse, who achieved later fame in "How to Succeed in Business", among other stage plays..Walter Pidgeon later would star as Flo Ziegfeld in the movie version of Funny Girl, and Eileen Herlie, would make a name for herself later in life in one of the major soap operas on Television, and also played many classical roles on stage in her native British Isles, as well as in the United States...she also appeared in the 1962 show "All American" which introduced the hit, "Once Upon a Time," a duet with the star of that show "Ray Bolger" I would also recommend this show for your collection, another neglected golden oldie....I must give kudos to Amazon and others for making these Cast Albums available, since they have been impossible to find for years..
