Music reviews of Two on the Aisle (1951 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: One indespenible gem in dross
Rating: 4 Stars
The only reason for my 4-star rating is Bert Lahr's extraordinary number, "The Clown." In this three-minute tour-de-force, Lahr's unparalled comic genius left me laughing snd happily replaying it twice. A pity Decca didn't have the understanding that this was Lahr's show (not Dolores Gray's) and didn't record the baseball sketch. I saw Lahr do it on TV when I was a kid and it is indescribably wonderous. In that sketch, written by director Abe Burrows, Bert Lahr had one of the crowning moments in his career. If a kinescope exists, I hope it is released on video. The score has no standards and is second-tier (except when Lahr has his way with "The Clown") Julie Styne and Comden and Green, but expertly sung by Dolores Gray. Nonetheless, this is all we have of the last great Brodway revue and worth the buy for that. However, without Lahr's "The Clown," I would have rated it 2-stars. If they had only recorded all of the sketches, this would be one of the greatest of Broadway albums. Or is that comedy albums. If you are Lahr fan, this an absolute must--he shows up in a few other numbers and manages to be heard to good advantage. Excellent liner notes, including the chapter about "Two On the Aisle" from John Lahr's biography of his father, "Notes On A Cowardly Lion." If you haven't read it, get a copy of one the best biographies I've read, which includes the full script of the baseball sketch. "Don't eat 'em, kids. They'll kill ya'." That's Lahr's basball punch-line, which I still try do as Lahr did. Never even come near the master.
