Music reviews of My One And Only (1983 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: 1982-83 was not a great season
Rating: 1 Stars
It is only because of the dearth of good musicals on Broadway in the 1982-83 season that "My One and Only" was able to run for 767 performances. Other than "Cats," nothing memorable came out of that year.
I listened to it on my headphones this morning, while I was walking. When I came home, I looked up the album to see what the story line was--it certainly was not even suggested from the recording. What did I find? Only a listing of the songs.
True, the Gershwins were a great musical team. But this effort to make their songs into a story musical just did not make the cut.
First, the orchestrations are overblown. Then, they intrude on the vocals, which is not such a bad thing, because Tommy Tune and Twiggy are not singers anyway. Yes, Tune is an excellent dancer; but dancing does not translate to an audio recording, even though the attempt was made here.
If you like the Gershwins' music, if you like Broadway musicals, there are a lot of other much better possibilities.
