5Doing the Lambeth Walk  Sep 21, 2005
Six months ago, I worked as stage crew for this musical. I loved the songs so much I went on a mission to find the soundtrack..this proved to a difficult task in the land of Aus, so I was thrilled when I found it here... after anxiously awaiting my package, it was worth every second.. This is a musical to put on when you're happy, sad, angry, because, let's face it, it's just going to make you happy!! Who can resist the lyrics "take it on the chin, put on a little grin and smile.." Even if you are not familiar with the musical, this cast recording is high quality and highly enjoyable!

5A Wonderful Musical  Apr 07, 2005
My theatre group is performing this musical for the 2006 season. I bought the CD to get a little more of an idea about what the original musical was like and fell in love with it. I think it is a fabulous CD and would recommend it to anyone who loves classic music theatre. The only downside I found was the overly used vibrato, which overpowered some pieces. However, I loved tunes such as the classic "Lambeth Walk" and the borderline manic "Thinking of No One But Me". I only wish I could have seen this show while it was on Broadway!

5One of the Happiest Plays I've Ever Seen  Oct 10, 2004
I saw this back in 1986 when it came to New York, three times! I fell in love with the music, and found the orchestration to be superb! The story has been told before in other movies and plays, but that was not the point. It was just an evening of toe-tapping, foot-stomping fun. You won't be able to get the tunes out of your head. Ironically, because of where I was sitting at each performance (on the aisle), I got to shake hands with one of the performers when they danced into the audience while performing "The Lambeth Walk"!

I've been trying to find a revival anywhere, and I've heard it may be performed back in London. If so, my wife and I are on the first thing smokin' across the pond! :-)

3Nothing to Write Home About.  Sep 12, 2004
I remembered hearing the title song a few times, and liked it, so I naturally bought this album. The material is second rate. The story of a blue collar man who inherents a large fortune, while maintaining a romance. This could provide an enjoyable evening at the theater, but it does smell a little like the earlier "Half a Sixpence". There are the proverbial "nice tunes", but nothing spectacular. Even though the album was produced by Thomas Z. Shepard, protege to Goddard Lieberson, the sound is a little bit murky. The instruments seem a bit loud, and the actors usually have a poor vibrato to speak. Of course, it is at a reasonable price, so it will not put you out a fortune, and it is better than most British imports today (you know who you are). All in all, it is a matter of preference, so you may enjoy it.

4Great musical, fair performances  Mar 01, 2003
I love this musical... but I have some small nits with this performance and recording.

The vocalists tend to over stylize the singing-- a bit too much spoken word, overly dramatic inflection with exaggurated accents, and a tendancy to cover it all with an overly wide vibrato. I may be a bit retentive, but I usually appreciate a greater attention to enunciation, pitch and tone control.

The vocalists and orchestra seem to fight for intelligibility with the recording in spots-- I'm guessing they expended little effort to position the microphones and mix the result. Sometimes it sounds like you've got a third tier balcony seat, and everything is a bit smudged together. Lower-register instruments also seem to be attenuated.

That said, these are nitpicks, and the CD--especially being the only recording of Me and My Girl easily available--is a worthwhile purchase.
