Music reviews of Miss Spectacular: The Concept Album

Music Review: NOT written for Broadway
Rating: 4 Stars

There is a very mistaken idea in all the reviews for this concept album that it is for a potential BROADWAY show. It was written for a Las Vagas casino show. It was to be a huge spectacular (as is suggested by the title) musical with gigantic production numbers. However, the hotel that comissioned it was sold and the new owners decided not to produce the show.

This fact will explain the types of songs, the manner in which they were written and the fact that they are not the subtle really lovely songs Jerry Herman is capable of. If a person is writing a song for a show that will overwhelm the audience with breathtaking sets, costumes and effects, that person will not write something subtle and intimate.

Note that in the write up of the show, it is stated that a number of the songs are inspired by the sound of gambling winnings and then go into a production number. Each song is meant to create an instant IMPACT on an audience that might have seen a show with the sinking of the Titanic or an erupting volcano the night before.

Jerry Herman is incapable of writing a bad song. Some may not be as wonderful as others, but none are bad, even his Broadway failures have terrific scores. Mr. Herman has always known exactly how to write for a spacific situation. Here he wrote exactly the type of show that the producers wanted for "Miss Spectacular". Instead of finding fault and complaining about it we should be thankful that the score is available and not consigened to some file cabinet where it would never be heard.
