If there's one flop recording I play most it is absolutely the original Merrily.
The show has been revised heavily... and made worse in almost all respects. Love it or not, I think the original deserved a second chance without being massively rewritten and reconceived ... no production or recording of the revision I've seen/heard has ever come close to the original in my opinion.
Many don't agree with me and that's fine. But it doesn't change that the show we get now, is not one I'd have fallen in love with like I did the original.
I know we'll never get a major production, or any production, that uses the original script and score... but that's what I'd like to see have a second chance. |
