Free Music Review: The abbreviated version but fabulous
Hit: 5 Stars
It is a pity that the London version of <Half a Sixpence> was truncated to make room for lots of dances in the Broadway run. While it might be true that the dances were one of the reasons for the great success of the American version, the 11 songs that were left make us wish to hear more. You see, as it appears on the RCA Victor re-release of the Broadway cast recording (09026-63691-2), this musical is one of the most joyous romps I have ever enjoyed on a recording or a stage!Tommy Steele has retained most of his songs in this version, and that gives him almost as much to do as Merman had in "Annie Get Your Gun." And he carries it off with apparent ease. The fact that it is based on the charming H.G. Wells novel "Kipps" and/or the equally charming film version means nothing to us since the CD has only the songs; but knowing the plot does help us place each number in a dramatic context. The booklet is most helpful in letting us follow the story line. Grab this one and lobby for a recording of the complete London version, perhaps even with the dialogue!
