I've listened to "Simply Heavenly" on the internet, as it was mentioned by Ken Mandelbaum in "Not Since Carrie" as being among excellent scores in a flop show. Some very good songs indeed. That book is excellent in pointing out some of those relatively undiscovered great scores. I believe some folks have mentioned "The Streets of New York", but I've never heard it.
I would love to see "Goldilocks" especially with a full orchestra playing those Leroy Anderson (lyrics Walter and Jean Kerr and Nancy Ford) songs with their great orchestrations. I saw a Musicals Tonight small-scale production some years ago (a newspaper article said that even Elaine Stritch went to a performance!), and it was enjoyable even on a small-scale. "The Happiest Girl in the World" has an OCR that has a full fabulous orchestra (maybe bigger in the studio than in the theatre), but hearing those Offenbach tunes with the E.Y. Harburg lyrics with a big orchestra would be thrilling. |
