CD Now - Ordered 05/19/1999 - Shipped 05/29/1999 - Received 06/08/1999 Orchestrations: Robert Russell Bennett, Musical Director: Alfredo Antonini, Director: Ralph Nelson. The television performance occured on March 31, 1957, at CBS-TV Network, 8:00-9:30 p.m. The booklet contains 1 small and 3 big B&W pictures of some of the performers, Julie Andrews appearing on each of them. Inside the jewel box there is a big B&W picture of Rodgers and Hammerstein together and on the back of the jewel box, there is another medium sized picture of Julie Andrews. There is a very informative 3 pages and a half text (in small font) by Didier C. Deutsh about the show (not including a synopsis). Well, this is an old musical with old broadway-styled singing and it is very difficult for me to give a really valuable opinion. It is rather pretty to hear at, there are some funny moments too, and performances are good. So I have nothing bad to say about it out of the fact that it's a little too old for me to really appreciate it as I could/should.
