Music reviews of Lady In The Dark (1950 Original Cast Members)

Music Review: A curiosity
Rating: 3 Stars

This recording of "Lady in the Dark" is actually not a cast album but a recording of a live, radio broadcast of a highly edited version of the show recorded 10 years after it initially played on Broadway. It is one of about five recordings of this show available today and is toward the bottom of the list in terms of quality and a desire to listen to it repeatedly. It does have the show's star, the legendary Gertrude Lawrence, repeating her role of Liza Elliot, and it is easy to see why she was so well reviewed and loved. Her singing is shaky but her acting is dead-on. It also has a young Hume Cronyn as Dr. Brooks. Very little of the score has survived in this version and its highlight, "The Saga of Jenny" has had its racier lyrics cleaned-up. It was recorded before a live audience and their noise is clearly heard throughout. The engineering is surprisingly good. This CD is for the die-hard fan of the show, Gertrude Lawrence, or the curious.
