Jay's ANYONE CAN WHISTLE recording is "forthcoming" — Page 4

1. Tried to listen to it on Amazon. Maybe just too wed to the OCR. I didn't care for the concert CD, either (though I loved Bernadette Peters's Fay Apple).

I think it's just gorgeous orchestrally.

This show is a mainstream broadway take on absurdism.

I don't think the themes will ever really land the way the writers intended them to, but there's something kinda charming and twee about it. And every once and a while there's commentary that's like "Ha I see what you're going for."

It should be a tight 90 though.

It's a musical skit for a nightclub stretched to a full Broadway evening. This "Bobby and Jackie and Jack" from Merrily stretched out for two hours.

Still, fun score, barbed humor and gentle romanticism. It belongs on a sound system not a stage, but as a form of home entertainment, it's wonderful.
