This review is from: Hello, Dolly! (1994 Broadway Revival Cast) (Audio CD)

HELLO DOLLY! is still one of musical theatre's crowning-glories. The original 1964 production catapulted Carol Channing into the annals of Broadway folklore and the role became her signature performance.

In 1994, Carol Channing and DOLLY! came back to Broadway for a limited-run revival. Channing has lost few steps since originating the role and turns in a fabulous performance. Like a fine wine, her performance and portrayal of Dolly grew richer and more honed.

Channing was surrounded by a strong cast including Florence Lacey as Irene Molloy, Jay Garner as Horace Vandergelder, Michael DeVries as Cornelius Hackl, Cory English as Barnaby Tucker and Lori Ann Mahl as Minnie Fay.

Florence Lacey sings a deeply-affecting "Ribbons Down My Back", DeVries and English are wonderful with "Dancing" and Jay Garner is the perfect stuffy foil to Channing's manic and free-wheeling matchmaker.

There are many differences to the original 1964 cast album, including the addition of a new, longer Overture, and the extended sequence to "Dancing". Sound quality is also very impressive, though the original cast album's sound quality is still as fresh as paint.

Get this superb CD today (or buy both albums if you have yet to discover the joys of this landmark Broadway show).

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great Joy!, November 30, 2001

Fortunatly I saw this production in San Francisco and New York. It was great to see Carol Channing in her best known role. She is unique! But Florence Lacey with her brilliant soprano voice singing "Ribbons down my back" gives you shivers all over! She make this CD to a special one.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD REPRESENTATION OF CLASSIC MUSICAL, August 23, 2000

Not having seen this production of "Hello, Dolly!", i can only say so much about this recording. Carol Channing is much better on this recording than the origonal. Her voice is huskier and throatier than EVER!. Florence Lacey sings the role of Irene Molloy very nicely and with care. Jay Garner makes the perfect Horace Vandergelder. The only reason that this recording gets 4 stars instead of 5, is that i don't understand why they would make ANOTHER recording of the SAME musical with the SAME star?. The only reason i bought this recording instead of the origonal is because the sound quality is far superior on this recording. Enjoy!
