Music reviews of Seesaw (1973 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: It doesn't get much better than Seesaw
Rating: 5 Stars
I agree with all of the other positive reviews already posted... This show would have been perfect had it not included "Spanglish" and "Ride Out The Storm" which are completely incongruous with the rest of the songs on this otherwise great recording. Even "My City" was an ill-advised adventure in funk. These three detours though, are only detours along a super highway of 14 other wonderful, finely crafted, well-tailored, perfectly fitted, blue-suited broadway songs. It doesn't get much better than "Poor Everybody Else" and the reprise blended with "Chapter 54, Number 1909." Incidentally, "Poor Everybody Else" was originally written for the earlier Coleman/Fields collaboration Sweet Charity, but was not absorbed into that musical. Michele Lee blew me away with a 44 magnum. Her performance is the best I've ever heard in a broadway musical. Every note she sings is exhilerating. She purrs and prowls through every one of her songs like a lioness. And the musical (as a recording) for me is as good as Mame, Gypsy, Company, Chorus Line and Funny Girl. Colman's music here sometimes sounds like Bachrach, only better than Bachrach. It also sometimes reminds me of Gershwin's Piano Concerto, which is appropriate given that one of the main characters of this show seems to be the city of New York itself. Dorothy Fields' lyrics are tricky, simple, knowing and universal with content that is often sexy, often funny and always warm and clever. The orchestration is perfect, right down to the choice of each instrument. If you like Broadway soundtracks, you'll love Seesaw (except for those three detours I mentioned). I wish I would have been an adult living in New York when Seesaw was playing. In 1973 after all, I was 6 years old and living in Los Angeles.
