And of course, this show was from the era when singing didnt mean being able to scream like a pop star.

Sarah Brown is the only true singing role in the show. Nicely Nicely comes in a close second.

Robert Alda who originated Sky was a Robert Preston type 'singer'. Nathan isn't a 'singer'. Adelaid isn't a 'singer'.

They were characters who could act and sing.

A lost world.
