Free Music Review: a lovely Lerner-Loewe score
Hit: 4 Stars
GIGI, the sparkling film musical based on Colette's novella, was turned into a Broadway stage version in 1973. It proved a rather problematic production and shuttered after a little more than three months after opening at the Uris (now Gershwin) Theatre.Karin Wolfe, as the title character, proves to be a delight, singing "The Earth and Other Minor Things" as well as the sobering "In This Wide, Wide World". Karin Wolfe was a Broadway veteran having made her debut in the original BYE BYE BIRDIE. I recently tried to track her down on the Internet...she is now a top employee in a leading New York realitor! What a career move!
Daniel Massey is a top choice for the wordly-weary Gaston, singing "It's a Bore" and "She is Not Thinking of Me" with a deft ear for timing and comedy.
In his last Broadway role, legendary Alfred Drake (KISS ME KATE, KISMET and OKLAHOMA!) is a delight as Honore. "Paris is Paris Again" receives top treatment in his clarion vocal style.
Also in the cast are Agnes Moorehead (as Aunt Alicia) and Maria Karnilova (the original Tessie Tura in GYPSY) as Mamita Alvarez.
A top cast in a delightful musical.
