 It deserved better July 5, 2007

I've often wondered if I'm the only person alive who saw "Seesaw!" It's been sadly neglected. Michele Lee was wonderful, and it was a great introduction to a guy named Tommy Tune.. The music is very enjoyable. Highly recommended for Broadway show lovers!

Michele Lee sings Cy Coleman's most underrated score January 28, 2004

SEESAW was a musical version of William Gibson's rueful comedy-drama TWO FOR THE SEESAW, which originally starred Anne Bancroft. For the musical version, the leading lady was the delightful Michele Lee (BRAVO GIOVANNI) who earned a Tony nomination for her performance.The Cy Coleman-Dorothy Fields score includes great numbers like "Nobody Does It Like Me", "In Tune" and the 11 o'clock number "Poor Everybody Else". The supporting cast includes the always-reliable Tommy Tune, as well as Ken Howard, Cecelia Norfleet and LaMonte DesFontaines. Highly-recommended for fans of Broadway musicals as well as the incantory Miss Michele Lee. [DRG CDRG6108]
This Seesaw is merely quirky fun August 22, 1999

Cy Coleman's Seesaw overture is a wonderful start to a wonderfully breezy CD. Most of the chorus numbers are very poor ( Spanglish, Ride Out the Storm), but the spotlighted Michele Lee, Ken Howard, and Tommy Tune are preserved fantastically. Michele Lee's husky voice is capable of making your heart soar and break at the same time. Her comedic timing is wonderful (Welcome to Holiday Inn), her down-on-her-luck song is perfection(Nobody Does It Like Me), and Poor Everybody Else will have you rooting for Michele instantly. Ken Howard is truly a Lovable Lunatic. And Tommy Tune's Tony Award winning performance is captured here with "It's Not Where You Start." It is typically Coleman music, but he is wonderfully aided with Dorothy Fields's lyrics. If you can find it for a discount, don't resist!
THE GREATEST THEATRICAL SCORE! January 3, 1999

SEESAW is my favorite show. The score is absolutely brilliant. Cy Coleman is, in my opinion, the greatest Broadway composer and Seesaw really portrays that. Michele Lee has the perfect husky/raspy voice and Tommy Tune is fantastic. Ken Howard is a great Jerry Ryan, and really shows off Dorothy Fields' beautiful lyrics in his solo number, "You're a Lovable Lunatic." The lyrics are witty and the tunes range from the upbeat and wacky "It's Not Where You Start" to Gittel's mellow number, "He's Good For Me." The score really fits the story line, and unlike Coleman's other early works (i.e. Little Me, Sweet Charity, Wildcat) the songs are not all big jazzy vaudeville numbers (Little Me and the others are still great, just different). I would have loved to see this on the stage, but at least I have the CD! This is what Broadway's all about!
