Description / My Opinion
CD Now - Ordered 05/19/1999 - Shipped 05/29/1999 - Received 06/08/1999

The booklet contains 3 medium B&W pictures of the show, and 2 big B&W pictures of Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse. There are 5 pages of text by Peter Filichia (the New Jersey theater critic for the Newark Star-Ledger, a columnist for Theater Week and the author of Let's Put On A Musical(Avon Books).). This text contains a synopsis of about one page.

This recording is both pretty and sometimes boring. Orchestra parts are - according to me, and with only the music - quite ears-breaking. The vocal score is sometimes very nice. Sometimes very Snow White like. Voices are these typical old Broadway voices of which I'm not very fond of. A musical I'd be interested to hear in a more modern version, without being sure it would please me.

Note: Orchestrations for the REDHEAD (RCA) CD are credited on the inside booklet to RICHARD RODNEY BENNETT instead of ROBERT RUSSELL BENNETT.
