| Average Rating: |  |
| Jacques Brel Rocks! I had this play on record and tape, but needless to say, the record is no longer useable and the tape is over too quickly=so being able to have the same cast on a CD is wonderful. By wenrich1 (Saratoga Springs, NY)  |
| A Good As Gold The reproduction and remastering of the original LP has enhanced the quality of the sound, while still keeping the "feel" of the original recording and stage show. By jcmaclean (Vancouver, BC, Canada) |
| Wonderful Gift I bought this CD for my Mother who had see the original musical in French. She loves it, especially as the words are in English and she can now understand the lyrics and sing along! Thanks. By Heather (Waterloo, Ont., Can) |

Pearl Bailey / Original Broadway Cast House of Flowers CD (1955)
Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris Soundtrack CD music Music composed by Harold Arlen. Lyrics written by Truman Capote.
This is part of Columbia Records "Broadway Masterworks" series.
House of Flowers, based on a celebrated Truman Capote novella about love in a brothel in the West Indies, failed as a Broadway musical, running only 165 performances from its opening on December 30, 1954. But the cast album, featuring Pearl Bailey, Diahann Carroll, and Juanita Hall, turned the show into a Broadway legend because it preserved one of Harold Arlen's best scores. Legendary backstage arguments among the principals may have resulted in a production that didn't work in the theater, but you wouldn't have known that from the music, which included the lovely "A Sleepin' Bee," "Two Ladies in de Shade of de Banana Tree" (performed by Ada Moore and Enid Mosier), and "I Never Has Seen Snow." The irrepressible Bailey is really just her usual extroverted self, breaking out of character in "One Man (Ain't Quite Enough)" to announce that there hasn't been time to write the "ad libs" she was supposed to be singing at one point in the song. The young Carroll, in contrast, is delicate and sensitive as the ingénue. Capote's lyrics are serviceable, but Arlen's music, typically bluesy, takes on Caribbean elements and works as a whole piece as much as it does in its individual songs. As a result, House of Flowers did not become one of those forgotten Broadway flops; it was remembered as one of Broadway's legendary failures in which great talents did not mange to create a masterpiece that could have been. The cast album was the record of that elusive masterpiece and remains a classic. ~ William Ruhlmann

Jim Dale / Original Broadway Cast Barnum (Original Broadway Cast Recording) CD (2002)
Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris Soundtrack buy CD music Music composed by Cy Coleman. Lyrics written by Michael Stewart.
Marianne Tatum (Jenny Lind); Terri White (Joice Heth); Leonard John Crofoot (Tom Thumb); William C. Witter (Ringmaster, Julius Goldschmidt, James A. Bailey).
Originally released on Columbia (36576). Includes liner notes by Jim Dale.
Barnum, the musical theater treatment of the life of impresario Phineas Taylor (P.T.) Barnum (1810-1891) that followed the famed promoter from his first show in 1835 to his 1881 merging of his circus with that of James Anthony Bailey to form the Barnum & Bailey Circus, became a long-running success on Broadway upon its opening on April 30, 1980, largely due to the talents of its star, 44-year-old British actor/singer Jim Dale, who embodied the title role with all the extroverted charm required and won a Tony award for his trouble. Composer Cy Coleman and lyricist Michael Stewart's score was appealing, especially the inevitable "There Is a Sucker Born Ev'ry Minute" (Barnum's catch phrase), the lyrical ballad "The Colors of My Life," the lively "Come Follow the Band," and "Join the Circus," which Barnum and Bailey later featured as a theme song. Naturally, Coleman used circus music as his main inspiration, and Stewart imbued his lyrics with Barnum's sense of engaging balderdash. Barnum discoveries Joice Heth (Terri White), Tom Thumb (Leonard Crofoot), and Jenny Lind (Marianne Tatum) got their own songs, and there was a ringmaster (William C. Witter), who treated Barnum's life as though it was a series of circus acts. As Barnum's wife, Glenn Close had a rather thankless part, but she made the best of it, notably in her only solo, "The Colors of My Life (Part II)." Barnum necessarily loses a lot in a mere aural version, not only because Dale's stage-filling performance can't be seen, but also because the show on-stage is full of other circus performances. Still, the score is a stylistically consistent work that Dale and associates bring out well. The 2002 reissue adds four demos by Coleman and Stewart, including the cut songs "At Least I Tried" and "So Little Time." ~ William Ruhlmann

Original Broadway Cast Thoroughly Modern Millie (Original Broadway Cast) CD (2002)
Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris Soundtrack songs The theatrical tale of a '20s Flapper gal, THOROUGHLY MODERN MINNIE already had a place in the hearts of many 21st-century folks due to the version featuring Julie Andrews singing atop an orchestra conducted by no less than Andre Previn. This newer take on the classic musical, however, is full of just as much verve as any previous staging. How else could it have taken jaded New York theater audiences by storm? Moving full circle from the plaint "What Do I Need With Love?" to the revelatory "I'm in Love With Someone," Millie's voyage is one that can be enjoyed equally as well on this disc as it can on the stage.
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Musical Show Album.
