Music reviews of Say, Darling (1958 Original Broadway Cast)

Music Review: "the not-so-successful-show-within-a-show"
Rating: 3 Stars

So wrote Steven Suskin in "Opening Nights on Broadway>'
Several years ago, I had a coupon for a "freebie" at a used record store. The only thing I could find that interested me and that I did not already own was "Say, Darling." The "Original Cast Recording" indication on the cover drew my attention, although I had not heard of the musical. It took some additional research to learn what the premise was and why the songs did not seem to blend into a story. So, we have an unusual concept of a troupe preparing for a musical, with the songs' being merely parts of their rehearsals. An unusual concept, which worked for the New York critics, but not for the audiences.
The best way to listen is just to consider this a collection of songs, some better than others, none out of the ordinary. There is an interesting mish-mash of styles--the ballad type title song, the humorous "Carnival Song," the country "Husking Bee," and even a nice rendition of the old gospel song "Let the Lower Lights Be Burning."
The original production used only a two-piano accompaniment. RCA commissioned and added orchestrations by Sid Ramin. The orchestrations are good; but I cannot think how much truer to the concept the recording would have been if they had stayed with the original idea.
