Hit: 5 Stars
I welcomed this score back into my life through the CD. This show was reissued by Columbia on vinyl in the 1970s. Listening to it, I couldn't believe it was a flop. (The overture is as good as All American.) My father suggested it opened just as the pop art fad was fading, and thus nobody wanted to see it just for the score, which is probably Strouse and Adams' best. The songs are almost insanely memorable, especially the ones written for Clark and Lois. The problem is that having two villians -- one of them Jack Cassidy -- threw the balance off, so the show isn't enough about Superman. This issue boasts some recordings of the writers singing songs deleted or slightly revised for the show, and thus it's a great gift for theater buffs.
