Ok, so I'm trying to figure out which one I should purchase, and I don't know enough about the show to be able to tell one way or another...so any suggestions?

I like the one with Kiki Dee the most. If you only want one (for now) I'd start off with that one.

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

I agree. The Kiki Dee version.

Sorry if this just confuses you, but I actually like the version with the Cassidy brothers.

1988 London cast with Kiki Dee or the 1995 London cast with Stephanie Lawrence (RIP). I love the energy of the 1988 recording and Kiki is in terrific voice. The 1995 recording is closer to how the show performed on Broadway and Lawrence's Tony-nominated performance. The Petula Clark/Cassidy Brothers 1995 studio recording is the worst I've heard. Absolutely painful. I saw the Broadway and London productions and loved them both from start to finish.

I actually like the Petula Clark version the best. Not painful at all.

For starters the Kiki Dee version.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Agree with Mister Matt - the Kiki Dee or Stephanie Lawrence recordings. The Petula Clark version is just lifeless.
