Music reviews of Hello, Dolly! (1964 Original Broadway Cast) (Deluxe Edition)
Music Review: Hello Dolly with commentary from C. Channing
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT version of the Hello Dolly Original Cast album with many "extras" not included on the Original Cast album.
Included on this CD are interviews with Carol Channing about her experience with this show -- some very enlightening commentary about the plot and the character of Dolly Levi which I had never thought about before.
This is a much deeper show after listening to her interpretation, and has enhanced my enjoyment of the song "Before the Parade Passes By" and "Hello Dolly!" numbers included on the CD.
In addition to the cast recording are numbers from the Pearly Bailey production (outstanding) and also some original songs from the show which was originally written with Ethel Merman in mind as Dolly. The liner notes included give a great history of the show and information regarding Merman's role as Dolly - information which I was never aware of before reading and listening to her perform several numbers which did NOT appear in the Carol Channing version on B'way, but were re-introduced to the show when Merman performed it on B'way.
Overall - for the price of this CD you are getting a lot of extras that any theater lover would enjoy. I rate this a 5 stars out of 5 stars due to the quality of the recordings and the extra features included. Enjoy!
Description of Hello, Dolly! (1964 Original Broadway Cast) (Deluxe Edition)
Sitting in the balcony at the final preview of this 1964 Jerry Herman show, still very much in school and long before my career as a critic began, I knew somehow that I was witnessing theatrical history. Even as that callow youth, I was certain that Carol Channing had been born to play the role of Dolly Gallagher Levi, the meddling turn-of-the century New York widow who had been adapted from Thornton Wilder's straight play The Matchmaker. Channing has proved me right by playing the role ever since, of course, miraculously only improving with age. Beyond Dolly herself, however, the musical emitted a synergistic exuberance (at least five years before we used the word "synergy"). The supporting cast, including David Burns, Eileen Brennan, and Charles Nelson Reilly, were terrific. Herman's tunes and lyrics were sublimely crafted both to create their characters and stand alone. (The title song took on a life of its own.) The show's designers, librettist Michael Stewart and director Gower Champion, combined to transport the audience to 60 years earlier in little old New York. This wasn't all just my opinion: Hello, Dolly! won a record 10 Tonys. The original cast recording can still take you to that other time and place, even if you didn't see the original show. But, at the risk of offending my inner adolescent, the 1994 revival, naturally starring Channing, was even better--both on stage and on disc. --Robert WindelerGeneral CDs
