Music reviews of Wildcat (1960 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: OK...SO SHE COULDN'T SING
Rating: 3 Stars
In late 1960, a friend and I attended one of the first performances of WILDCAT, a new musical at the Alvin Theater --now the Neil Simon Theater. We wanted to see the Broadway starring debut of Lucille Ball, at that time TV's outstanding comedienne. And we wanted the answer to the question of the ages: could she sing? The answer: No. But she could stay somewhere near the melody and she was kinda funny, so that left the musical stuff up to the rest of the cast and the musicians in the pit. The first Broadway score by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh had some neat plot-moving songs and one smash hit for Lucy, "Hey, Look Me Over". RCA brought out the LP and, later, the inevitable CD. One of the best parts of the recording is --believe it-- the overture. Orchestrated and arranged by Robert Ginzler and Sid Ramin (who had delivered one of the smash theater arrangements of all time with the charts for Styne and Sondheim's GYPSY)and conducted by John Morris, who, the following year, was to give ALL AMERICAN a zip and pizzazz far superior to its book, WILDCAT's CD reincarnation should please theater fans who want to hear the choreography in the orchestrations (the whole shebang is directed and choreographed by Michael Kidd)and the characters' personalities in the songs (Keith Andes and Paula Stewart stand out). Excellent mens' chorus, right up there in quality with "Guys and Dolls" and "Paint Your Wagon". The original LP and the transition to CD are very good, helped immensly by the taping location in what was then RCA's Broadway-show recording studio, Webster Hall, a second-floor, former ballroom in lower Manhattan. Controllable reverb and a neat sharpness balanced on the treble side add to the excitement of the brassy score. Enjoy!
