Broadway Meets Baseball with a legendary score Submitted on: 2007-11-18 |
|
| The great song writing team of Adler & Ross only wrote two musicals, "Pajama Game" and "Damn Yankeees." Both have songs you can't stop hearing and singing. If you love baseball and you love Broadway musicals, there's never been anything better than "Damn Yankees." This is the original Broadway cast, with the greats, Gwen Verdon and Ray Walston. Stephen Douglass has an old-fashioned opera-like voice, the kind they still favored on Broadway in the 50s, and Shannon Bolin and Rae Allen can really belt, too. A joyous album. |

Good Recording of a Classic Submitted on: 2007-09-27 |

| This was one of the best musicals of the 50's. I saw the 94 revival and loved it as well. I prefer the revival cast recording because it is more complete and sounds infinetly better than the original. Still, Gwen Verdon and Ray Walston are wonderful to hear. DO NOT make the mistake I did and buy the DVD of the film version. They totally butchered it, editing out the majority of the score, leaving in about 4 songs. It is so awful, scenes and major plot points are gone, it doesn't always make sense. I've seen the film before and know there is soooo much more to it. Not on the DVD. Hopefully someday a restored version will be released. |

Best show from 1955 Submitted on: 2006-07-28 |

| So, I just bought this version, after owning the revival cast, and being in it recently. There are definitly good things about this recording. The music is beautiful and Old Joe has a beautiful voice. Also, Joe Hardy is better on this recording than the revival. Unfortunately Lola is not the greatest in this cast, I much perfered the revival's Lola. SO which version should you get? Collectors, should get both, people who perfer a more classical musical theater should get this version. Other than that, the new version, is better, and a better value. Favorite Song: "Goodbye, Old Girl" |
