Free Music Review: Bad musical does not mean a poor score
Hit: 4 Stars
Actually this is NOT the first Broadway musical sequel written, but the point is it is one of the WORST show on Earth. The staging is inadequate, the book is silly, funny, but with many ideas which dull the audiences. The set is excessive and overblown...etc. But then, the score, which is the only thing we can experience from a cast recording, is nice if not excellent.
With a bunch of (10) orchestrators in line, one can expect that this musical has varied musical styles which include pop, rock-and-roll (of coz), classical theatre, western, gospel, 20s jazz and so on. The tunes written by Charles Strouse (who is a prolific composer whom sequels suck) are catchy with witty/funny/entertaining lyrics written by Lee Adams. As for the performers, Chita is irreplaceable, while Donald O'Connor proved that he can really sing. Maria Karnilova, Maurice Hines and Marcel Forestieri are doing a very good job in this recording.
So, for those who are searching for lost gems of musical SCORES, this is one of the choice here. For the show, well, let's just say it's a total bore.
