Music reviews of Busker Alley (2006 York Theatre Company Cast Recording)
Music Review: They were right to shut the show down in 1989
Rating: 3 Stars
Let me say right up front that I am a BIG Sherman Brothers fan. I love the work they did for the Disney studios, Mary Poppins is possibly one of the greatest of all movie musicals. But, and this is a very big but, they can start to sound repetative after a time. They simply do not write great ballads, they are at their best with charm songs. This musical about London street performers begins to sound very repetative about half way through. It is very hard to delinate the characters, the lead man and his younger protege from the old busker couple who have been at it for years. Their music sounds almost the same. The fault is not with the performers, Jim Dale is absoluely magnificent, I don't know anyone else today who could put this part over with the panache he does. The rest of the cast is right up to his level. But the songs all begin to sound the same and its hard at the end to remember one from the other. I perform as a piano player/singer and was intending to learn at least one of these songs so as to have something new to offer, and the Sherman Bros always seem to go over well, but I have had to reconsider. The 3 stars are for the performers, the two missing stars are for the sameness of the songs.
