But Jill Haworth sounds wonderful on the recording. The original show didn't add "Maybe This Time" and "Mein Herr". It only had her singing "Don't Tell Mama", "Perfectly Marvelous" and the title song (and a reprise of it). It's not a great voice, but it is tuneful and even just by voice alone, captures the essence of this young English girl who is putting on sophisticated airs yet can't really hide the fact that she's really not who she is trying to be. Unfortunately, Walter Kerr's original review knocked Haworth's performance, but people who had seen the show said that he was dead wrong, and that she was actually superb!

and weren't replacements Anita Gilette and Penny Fuller good singers?
