This CD is really excellent. The sound quality is quite good. Johnny Burke's score is an underrated gem, which is somewhat surprising given that the show had a relatively brief run on Broadway. Joan Fagan, Susan Johnson, Art Lund, and Eddie Foy are all delightful -- Philip Bosco has a non-singing role as Will Danaher -- he has a bit of dialogue in the Finale.
The packaging is much better than is the custom with most imports. There are extensive liner notes including a very complete synopsis, all reprinted from the original LP, and 3 full pages of photos from the '61 production. The CD also features the 14-track instrumental album of music titled The Pete King Orchestra Plays the Music of Donnybrook!. To my knowledge this is perhaps the last highly regarded OBC recording which has never been legitimately released on CD. Stage Door Records should be congratulated for taking the risk of releasing this album and for doing such an exceptional job. Highly recommended. |
