Amazon.com - Ordered 02.17.2000 - Shipped 03/09/2000 - Received 03/21/2000 This Broadway revival production opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on March 23, 1995. Its premiere performance was at the La Jolla Playhouse, in La Jolla, California, on October 30, 1994. Recorded on April 2, 1995, at the Hit Factory's studio 1, NYC Director: Des McAnuff, Orchestrations: Danny Troob, Music direction: Ted Sperling The booklet contains 5 pages text by Bill Rosenfield about the history of the show and a 5 and a half pages synopsis. There are numerous quality color pictures of the show (1 big and 10 medium sized). I appreciate this recording. Some noticeable songs: A Secretary Is Not A Toy, I Believe In You. The score is very entertaining (The Pirate Dance), even if it sometimes sounds rather old. This is not a 'best of' recording, but a very good one though. As I've got the Original Cast Recording, maybe I'll have a more precise opinion when I've heard it.
