DESCRIPTION:
Phantom said Brilliant, as expected. I will admit I am a long time Sondheim fan, and have followed the incarnation of this show from "Wise Guys" through "Gold" through "Bounce" ending up as "Road Show." The music is pure Sondheim, and while some of the more complex choral work, and extended scenes are missing from this folio, the music and lyrics, are, as always, first rate.. "Still Sondheim" according to David Seaman. This is the vocal selections for the final draft of the Sondheim- Weidman Mizner Brothers show. The concept came to Sondheim first in 1958. For more than ten years the show went through revisions: Wise Guys, held up by litigation regarding the title, Bounce, a HUGE old fashioned musical that didn't have a clear focus and a reunion at the Goodman Theatre with Hal Prince and, at last, the remarkable one act chamber musical that hit Broadway as "Road Show". Sondheim fans will buy this just to get their hands on. Larry said good, but I was hoping for some more backstory. It was the script of the play. All the words to the songs .good, but I was hoping for some more backstory to thisit's different versions, Bounc teal et al. But it was / is worth the orice.

Vocal selections from the long-aborning third Sondheim-Weidman musical, about the story of the real-life Mizner brothers and their long and complicated relationship. (Vocal Selections)
