Free Music Review: The Sherman Boys 'Have A Way'!
Hit: 5 Stars
Hurray for everybody who made this production and subsequent recording happen. I'm delighted to have The Sherman Brothers' marvelous score (legitimately) recorded. Previously, we only had poorer quality bootlegs to listen to, but now we have an in-studio recording. I was expecting this to be a live recording of the one-night-only concert event and was very pleasantly surprised to find that it's a studio recording. Jim Dale is always wonderful, and he's certainly much better suited to play Charlie the Busker than his predecessor was.
It's interesting to hear the show and score restored to what must have been closer to the original vision (before it became a big star vehicle). It feels more balanced now and I feel like I hate the character of Libby less than I did before.
Reuniting (sort of) Jim Dale and Glen Close was a brilliant bit of casting on Tony Walton's part. The entire cast is topnotch and deserving of kudos. I do miss the fuller orchestrations, but this is a minor quibble. (And nobody sings "Strays" as well as Richard Sherman does.)
Thanks to everybody who brought this show out of the shadows. Five stars. Hats off to you! Let's hope for a full scale Broadway version starring Jim Dale soon!
