After giving it more thought, I remember that the original 1948 production of Where's Charley? didn't receive a Broadway cast recording due to a musicians strike. The Broadway production was a huge hit and was made into a movie in '52 with Ray Bolger and Allyn Ann McLerie re-creating their stage roles for the film. Strangely, the film did not yield a soundtrack recording.
In '58 the first London production of Where's Charley? finally received a genuine, comprehensive cast recording of Loesser's delightful score. |
