The score, the voice, the show, is all well-known - it is hard to imagine anyone being unfamiliar with the production. Yet if you do not recognize this recording, or have not heard it - if you are a true fan of classic Broadway productions, you won't want to exclude this one from your collection. ...

The score, book, performances...all combined to make one of the greatest musicals in American theater. Robert Preston was magnificent, Barbara Cook was perfection,the supporting cast were delightful! This is a GREAT cast recording. Fortunatley for the world, Preston's performance is preserved on film. Sadly, Cook's is not (though Shirley Jones is wonderful). Barbara Cook is one of the great treasures of the theater world. Just see one of her concert performances ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
