An unusual and challenging musical
in every respect, Merrily We Roll Along has the odd distinction
of being a seldom performed show because of its difficulties in
staging and yet having one of the finest and most interesting
scores to come from the pen of Stephen Sondheim.
This JAY recording is the only complete recording,
and because of the nature of the book, which tells the story backwards
is finally made comprehensible to the listener with the inclusion
of certain key scenes and dialogue. The extended scenes and song
settings define the development of characters, relationships and
musical motifs clearly as no other recordings do.
This original cast recording features stars
such as MARIA FRIEDMAN
(London’s LADY IN THE DARK, PASSION, SUNDAY IN
THE PARK WITH GEORGE), EVAN PAPPAS (Broadway’s MY FAVOURITE
YEAR), JACQUELINE DANKWORTH
(London’s INTO THE WOODS, INVADE MY PRIVACY) and LOUISE GOLD (London’s ANYTHING GOES,
NUNSENSE).
Recorded in Digital Dolby Surround Sound which of course is the
perfect idiom for all the dramatic and extended scenes.
