AN EXCELLENT YEAR! July 16, 2003
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This edition of the Town Hall Broadway by the Year series is definitely the cream of the crop, thanks largely to three wonderful performers SALLY MAYES, HEATHER MACRAE and JASON GRAAE. The three bring great voices, humor and feeling to the proceedings. Including songs from OKLAHOMA by Rodgers & Hammerstein, SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS by Cole Porter, ONE TOUCH OF VENUS by Kurt Weill and Ogden Nash, and A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT by Rodgers and Hart among others. They do the ones you would expect; Oh! What A Beautiful Mornin', That's Him, Speak Low, I'm A Stranger Here Myself, The Surrey With the Fringe on Top and do a great and sometimes revelotory job, but also some I didn't know, "You Wash and I'll Dry" sung by Graae, "Can't You Do A Friend A Favor" and my favorite "Very, Very, Very" a very funny and smart song from VENUS sung with a wicked relish by Macrae. And a very good ballad "My Last Love" from a show called WHAT'S UP sung by Mayes. My main criticism of the series is that they should put the introductions on a separate band from the songs. But the lasting effects of these CDs is making you wish you had been at City Hall on the night of the performance.
