Music reviews of Hey Mr. Producer!: The Musical World of Cameron MacKintosh
Music Review: A Pudding Full of Plums; Reach In and Pick Your Favorites
Rating: 4 Stars
"Hey Mr Producer!" is a live recording of a 1998 concert given at the Lyceum Theatre, London, as introduced by Julie Andrews (The Sound of Music), in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. It consists of a two-disk set, totaling, it appears, at least 56 songs, from some of the biggest, most popular shows to play Broadway and/or the West End. And it brings together on one stage quite a few theatrical and celluloid stars.
Among the first disk favorites are likely to be a generous selection of five songs from Frederick Lowe's and Alan Jay Lerner's "My Fair Lady," as sung by Liz Robertson, Jonathan Pryce, and others. We also get a nice selection of three songs from the under-appreciated masterpiece "Little Shop of Horrors," by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (creators of Disney's beloved The Little Mermaid (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)): two of the songs are delivered by Ellen Greene, who created the part of Audrey on Broadway; and played it in the delightful movie of the same name, Little Shop of Horrors (Snap Case). Bernadette Peters delivers a nice "Unexpected Song," from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Song & Dance." English stage star Sonia Swaby gives us a heart-felt "As Long as He Needs Me," from Lionel Bart's "Oliver." The disk is closed by another generous selection of five songs from "Miss Saigon," in which Lea Salonga and Jonathan Pryce reprise songs they created on Broadway, as they created their roles.
The second disk opens on two favorite, powerful songs from Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera:" "The Phantom of the Opera," and "Music of the Night." Bernadette Peters comes back to lead "Broadway Baby," from Stephen Sondheim's "Follies," in the excellent company of Julia McKenzie (Cranford). Peters will reappear later in the disk to give us "Being Alive," from Sondheim's "Company;" She also leads an all-star "You've Gotta Have a Gimmick," from Sondheim's masterful "Gypsy," in which she recently played Rose on Broadway.(And I was lucky enough to see her!) There's some lovely music from "Carousel," by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein. The multi-talented,gorgeous and sexy Australian Hugh Jackman (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) gives us a memorable "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'," from the same immortal pair's "Oklahoma." Judi Dench gives us a heart-breaking take on that you might-have-thought-over-exposed classic, "Send in the Clowns," from Sondheim's "A Little Night Music." Then, "Jellicle Songs," and "Memory," from Lloyd Webber's evergreen "Cats:" British stage star Elaine Page does the latter, also over-exposed favorite, full justice. (Although I will always love best Betty Buckley's performance of the song, as she was the Grizabella I first saw.)The disk closes on a good selection from "Les Miserables,"for fans of that play.
Dame Judi Dench has recently been more active on screen than stage---she won a 1998 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her queen in Shakespeare in Love; has also recently done Cranford; and Mrs. Henderson Presents (Widescreen Edition);and is now playing "M" in the James Bond movies. But she starred as Desiree in a 1996 London revival of "A Little Night Music," at the Royal National Theatre, and critics used up all their accolades on that one. Unfortunately, the cast recording of that show is long since out of print, and when it does show up for sale, it's horribly pricey. So I bought this album to get her "Send in the Clowns;" and was pleased to find a lot more favorites here. Obviously, this recording is just a pudding full of plums: listeners will reach in and pluck out their favorites, as I did.
