4.0 out of 5 stars Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway, July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway: A Melifluous Musical Merriment (1959 Television Cast) (Audio CD)

For anyone who has been searching for a recording of George M. Cohan's classic musical, this is far from a disappointment. The sound is digitally remastered, and the songs are enjoyable. One would hardly suspect the music is almost one hundred years old and the soundtrack more than forty. Besides the catchy tunes, there are insightful dialogue outtakes from the musical itself. This is a must for any Cohan fan and/or any one who has performed in a modern stage version of this "melifluous (which mean "sweetly flowing" in case you were wondering) musical merriment."
