Music reviews of Once Upon a Mattress (1997 Broadway Revival Cast)
Music Review: Hey nani nani nani NO
Rating: 3 Stars
Perhaps if I were not familiar with the original, I would have appreciated this more. But, I am reminded of a Burma Shave sign I saw as a kid--Substitutes are like/a girdle/They find some jobs/they just can't hurdle.
The pluses for this recording: Better sound quality; that is a given considering the age of the original. More music. A smattering of the dialogue.
The minuses: The closing "The mouse had devoured the hawk" sequence is omitted, leaving the story incomplete. Then, the cast--especially Sarah Jessica Parker. Occasionally, she sounds as if she is trying to imitate Carol Burnett. Most of the time, she sounds as if she should be in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!" No reflections on Charlie Brown; just that it is a different kind of musical. Other cast members seem to be simply singing and reciting lines, with no semblance of characterization. The one bright spot in the casting is Lawrence Clayton's Minstrel.
If you feel that you really need an updated version of "Mattress," buy the Tracy Ulman dvd. You'll get the added goody of Carol Burnett's Queen.
