I'm so excited, words can't express. One of my favorite shows EVER.

Another year to wait for "Anyone Can Whistle" and "It's A Bird...".

Thanks for posting this Melissa Errico Fan...Love this show also, didn't Paper Mill do this last year or so? I wanted to get out there and see it, but it never happened...
Let's all hope that Ghostlight, DRG, or some other company puts this one on CD. Great score! I have the out of print Brooklyn Academy of Music concert CD featuring Larry Kert, Jack Gilford and Maureen McGovern. I HATE the 1950s revival CD.
Yes, the Paper Mill did it (brilliantly) last year.

I agree CastAlbumFan...Remember when DRG did record all the Encores! concerts for a while...

Glad Paper Mill did a great job with it...I don't get out there often, but when I do, I am always surprised! Still loving their revival of BABY a few years ago as well as the recent RAGTIME.
I didn't get to see the PaperMill production but a friend of mine, Garrett Long was in it and she's a lovely performer. If you had a chance to see her in The Spitfire Grill, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Thank you, Jesus!
A literate and witty score.
Every recording of this show is special...the '50s revival, the '70s TV special, the 80's concert version.

I saw a brilliant production at The Bridewell Theatre in London in 1999. Clever, funny, terrific direction, and a British cast that was better than the run-of-the-mill Broadway talent.
Congrats to Encores!
