Customer Reviews of Vol. 4-American Musical Theater
The Best of the American Musiclal Theater, 1956-1964 You want to believe that when the Smithsonian puts together a collection of anything, such as this four-volume set of "American Musical Theater: Shows, Songs, and Stars," that they really know what they are doing. The proof of that is not in the obvious songs to include in this fourth volume, which covers Broadway musicals produced between 1956 ("Candide" and "Bells Are Ringing") and 1964 ("Funny Girl," "Hello, Dolly!" and "Fiddler on the Roof"). What serious student of the musical theater in America is going to quibble with any of the songs selected to represent these shows? Of course you do "76 Trombones" from "The Music Man," "Rose's Turn" from "Gypsy," "People" from "Funny Girl," and so on and so forth. Yes, "If Ever I Would Leave You" is a better song from "Camelot," but the title song was elevated to higher status by Jackie Kennedy. Where this collection sells itself are on the gems from musicals that might be forgotten ("Try to Remember" from "The Fantasticks" does not count as a "minor" musical to anyone's way of thinking). The two songs I would particular spotlight are "Little Tin Box" from the delightful score of "Fiorello!" and Barbara Cook singing "Ice Cream" from "She Loves Me" (the latter was one of the few new songs for me in this collection and a wonderful song). This is a superb album from a first-rate collection that brings together Merman and Streisand, Mostel and Channing, Burton and Preston. They do really nice work at that Smithsonian place.
