''But the score isn't top-drawer.''
Couldn't disagree more. I love Michael Stewart and Cy Coleman's songs to ''Barnum.'' They're cheerful, fun and infectious.
''There Is a Sucker Born Ev'ry Minute,'' ''Thank God I'm God,'' ''The Colors of My Life,'' ''The Museum Song,'' ''Come Follow the Band,'' etc.
I play that terrific and tuneful cast album a lot (which is more than I can say for many of Broadway's recent and current offerings).
I also saw the wonderful Jim Dale as P.T., and I'll bet ''Barnum'' will be a stellar showcase for Neil Patrick Harris, too. |
