Free Music Notes for Darling Of The Day (1968 Original Broadway Cast)

Free Music Review: cult-flop musical classic
Hit: 5 Stars

Yet another of those wonderful cult-flop musicals that one can't help but love, DARLING OF THE DAY is a particular favorite of mine.

The story was based on the book "Buried Alive" by Arnold Bennett, and tells the tale of artist Priam Farll (Vincent Price) who - thanks to a case of mixed identity - ends up "dead" and comes "back" as Henry Leek. Arriving in the small town of Putney, Henry meets vivacious widow Alice Challice (Patricia Routledge), and they later marry. However, Henry's past comes back to haunt him when his painting career suddenly takes off again...

The score is gorgeous. Patricia Routledge is given ample time to display her amazing vocal talents with the achingly-beautiful "Let's See What Happens" and the touching "Something Extra Special". She tied with Leslie Uggams to win the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical that year, and rightfully so.

Vincent Price, King of the AIP horror movies, was totally at sea with his musical Broadway debut, and was one of the main reasons why the show failed, running only 32 performances (around 2-3 weeks). The rather slow-moving book was also a factor in the show's failure.

However, the glowing score by Jule Styne and E.Y. Harburg is gorgeous, and features the songs "To Get Out of This World Alive", "He's A Genius", "Panache" and "It's Enough to Make a Lady Fall in Love" as well as "Sunset Tree". RCA.
