Remember you? As if we ever forgot!,

This review is from: Live at the Palace (Audio CD)
The prejudice against Shirley MacLaine's performance in the 1969 film of "Sweet Charity" has always mystified me. Okay, so she wasn't Gwen Verdon - who was? She contributed, in a scene of almost unwatchable pain and desperation, one of the most shattering moments in post-war cinema. She was charming, sweetly funny, vulnerable and heart-breakingly hopeful. She sang with humor, gusto, and intense, if delicate, emotion. And she danced the hell out of those great, knock-knee'd Bob Fosse numbers. If her Charity isn't the finest performance in a movie musical since Judy Garland and James Mason slashed the heart in "A Star is Born," I don't know what is. All of what Shirley MacLaine can do best is in that movie, and in this great 1976 live recording. Parts of the extravaganza may feel a bit overdone, a touch self-conscious (if not downright self-congratulatory), and the often effective Cy Coleman arrangements may occasionally border on aggressive showbiz-iness. But Shirley MacLaine's electric gifts shine through. If she hasn't got you by the time she gets through her passionate, whirl-wind rendition of "She's a Star," you're probably beyond gettin'. So, now that Shirl is finally on CD ... Decca - where's that "Sweet Charity" soundtrack?

FINALLY!!!!!,
By Rafael M. Gonzalez (Washington, D.C., District of Columbia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live at the Palace (Audio CD)
This was one of my favorite LP's when it first came out. I gave it away to a friend and always regreted it. Now it's back on CD. What struck me was Shirley's joy in performing and how that came through on this recording. I don't think there are any other Shirley MaqcLaine CDs out there, so the more reason to experience this one. This is what entertainment is all about. Enjoy.

Shirley's Personality Shines,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live at the Palace (Audio CD)
This album is a must for Shirley MacLaine fans! Her sparkling personality shines through each song she sings and each monologue she shares with the audience. One can only wish this dynamic performance was available on video.In my mind's eye I can almost see Shirley dancing as she performs at the Palace.
