I grew up listening to all kinds of musicals, which are my mom's favorite. This one is a slightly less popular one, with no current remakes that I know of. I think it could make a nice movie. I was just a kid listening to these songs (and never SAW the play) but they are so clever and fun. I love "Flaming Agnes" always have lol.
If you like musicals like "The King and I" or "Chess" or even ones like "Cats" and "Les Miserables" this is sort of a Romantic Comedy in the musical line. It's so fun to listen to and I have to recommend it highly, even if I further expose how much of a GEEK I am, ha ha ha!
This is a great little show with a delightful score. Of course it is bolstered immensely by the top notch performances from Martin and Preston. Martin is at one moment tender, and then surely stopped the show with her brassy Flaming Agnes. Preston also does not fail to impress in I Love My Wife and A Well Known Fact. This cast recording comes highly recommended and if you are a fan of broadway this will not disappoint.
