Music reviews of Say, Darling (1958 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: Vivian Blaine in lesser-known Styne/Comden/Green musical
Rating: 4 Stars
Despite being panned by most critics, SAY, DARLING (based on Richard Bissell's book of the same name) managed to run for 332 performances in a banner season on Broadway, which was also marked by THE MUSIC MAN and WEST SIDE STORY. Vivian Blaine (GUYS AND DOLLS) stars in this bouncy musical treat with a score by Jule Styne.
The premise for SAY, DARLING is the making of a Broadway musical, the virtual plot-less show is spun around several different songs, performed by the would-be diva, her handsome leading man, their eager writer and a supporting gallery of colourful theater folk. In a bold departure for a major Broadway musical of the period, the songs were played "rehearsal-style" using only two pianos (although the cast album greatly benefits from a full orchestra under the guidance of Sid Ramin).
Vivian Blaine shines with three attractive numbers ("Try to Love Me", "Chief of Love" and "Dance Only with Me"). Her co-stars--including Johnny Desmond (FUNNY GIRL), David Wayne (FINIAN'S RAINBOW) and Robert Morse (HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING)--are just as delightful. This lesser-known show from the team of Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green doesn't really count among their all-time best, but it's enjoyable nontheless.
Making it's CD premiere, SAY, DARLING (one of RCA's first stereophonic cast albums) will be a welcome addition to the collection. [DRG-19109]
