I only know the show through it's cast recording. Like you I owned the LP and loved the score. Burke's songs do an excellent job of musicalizing the wonderful characters of The Quiet Man. Unfortunately I've never seen a staging of Donnybrook!. Some years ago when I tried to catch a performance of Irish Rep's revival, I made the mistake of not purchasing a ticket in advance. As things turned out every performance that I had an open slot to attend was sold out. I love Susan Johnson and she doesn't disappoint on this recording. This is an outstanding cast recording. You are really going to enjoy it.

I was thrilled to return home yesterday to discover that my CD, too, had arrived! I've already listened to the entire CD. As you've said, it's beautifully packaged....and the recording is first-rate! For any others unfamiliar with this score, do yourself a favor and purchase the CD! You'll be pleasantly surprised, and you'll be helping a company that's trying to preserve oft-forgotten, high-quality musical theater scores!
