So glad you mentioned SMILE, darkmist115!
I saw it in previews and it knocked my socks off. A pre-Little Mermaid Jodi Benson stopped the show with "Disneyland." And I remember laughing my head off at Howard Ashman's lyrics, and loving his direction as well. (He served double-duty on that one.) Marvin Hamlisch was no slouch either.
Trouble is, Les Mis opened very shortly afterward (like 2 weeks, or something) and killed it. Sort of like when A Chorus Line opened and stole all of Chicago's thunder. I don't remember Smile getting rotten reviews, it just didn't get raves. Critics were just lukewarm about it, so it came and went pretty quickly. Too bad. At the time I saw it, I kept thinking it was going to be a big hit! Boy, was I wrong.

After I first saw All Shook Up with my mom, she seemed to only think of it as ok, but I liked it alot, but then we went back with my sister this time and we all had a good time and we laughed and laughed and laughed.

Posted: 7/6/05 at 3:14pmI really like "Flower Drum Song" which is usually deemed the most minor of Rodgers & Hammerstein's achievements; but personally I feel it is their best score.

Posted: 7/6/05 at 7:12pmHey, I love HIGH SPIRITS! There are some very delightful songs in that score! I was lucky enough to pick up the CD just before it went out of print. Decca Broadway is supposed tobe remastering it with bonus tracks. We'll see..
