Music reviews of Tap Your Troubles Away - The Words and Music of Jerry Herman (Historic All-Star Tribute)Music Review: THE BEST OF TIMES, RECORDED LIVE. SIMPLY STUNNING!
Live recordings are sometimes --- perhaps the word should be "often" --- deadly. Inferior engineering. Sundry static glitches. Acoustics that annoy. Few such recordings work ... and work well. Add "Tap Your Troubles Away!" to the list of those Live Recordings That Work Very Well. Recorded at the Harriet and Charles Luckman Theatre at California State University in Los Angeles on November 10, 2001, the evening was a high-octane, star-studded tribute of Jerry Herman's genius that befitted The Actors' Fund. The 29 tracks are superbly recorded; the audience's appreciation is as palatable as the energy of the talent. There are a slew of surprise here, such as Jo Anne Worley's take on "Just Leave Everything to Me/I Want to Make the World Laugh" and Rod McKuen's "Look Over There." Some tracks are simply stunning: Rita Moreno's searing "I Won't Send Roses;" Sam Harris's rapid-fire denial "I Don't Want to Know" and Tyne Daly's poignant "Tomorrow Morning/And I Was Beautiful." (The weakest track? Surprisingly Bernadette Peters' "Time Heals Everything;" the Peters Principle --- singing the tune so often in the past that it sings itself --- dilutes the promise of the tune.) And then there are the Big Stars of the Night: Carol Channing and Angela Lansbury. The twisted joy here is that Angela sings something she's "always" wanted to sing: "Hello, Dolly!" A few minutes into the throaty rendition, Carol prances out, crying that somebody "stole my song," and then launches into "Mame." A well-versed chorus conquers the rest of the medley, but for several stellar (though too-brief) moments, theatrical history is made. The CD ends with Herman ticking the keys, assuring us that, thankfully, "I'll Be Here Tomorrow." The best of times, indeed!
