5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for the Lawnchair Man!, March 23, 2003

Stumbling upon the incredible BATBOY, I discovered this other gem with the only other Laurence O'Keefe musical on disc. Expecting to fall in love with O'Keefe's "The Mice", I found that the brilliance of composer Robert Lindsey Nassif about the story of a man who flies in a lawnchair. With catchy tunes by famous pilots - Amelia Aerhart, Charles Lindbergh - this show is jampacked with gorgeous ballads, funny and catchy upbeat sontgs and that extra bit of love to touch the heart.

It's worth it. Get it.

All 3 show segments of this cd are equally fabulous. Beautiful melodies and clever lyrics and stories make this cd a joy to listen to. The cast is wonderful in their character interpretations and all have beautiful voices. I would have loved to see this live. Besides, what other show has a singing Amelia Earhart in it?

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an enchanting show, and an enchanting recording, June 14, 2001

Having been one of the handful of Los Angeles theatre-goers to be absolutely entranced by "3hree" during its recent Ahmanson Theatre run, I am thrilled by the recording. The near-extinct genre of musical charm show here gets a triple-volt boost, with the desired objective of creating three self-contained miniature musicals totally achieved. "The Mice" is post-Dennis Potter wry tragicomedy, with toe-tapping tunes and jivey harmonics; "Lavender Girl," though predictable in premise, is drenchingly romantic, a mini-Jazz Age demi-opera; and "Flight of the Lawnchair Man" is pure pop culture kitsch done to a high turn. All three compositional teams represent the best that up-and-coming musical theatre have to offer, and the cast could simply not be bettered. I haven't stopped playing it since I got it, and I hope it makes it to Broadway in the fall, because it is original, catchy, and oh so well-done. Highly recommended.
