4.0 out of 5 stars I MARRIED AN ANGEL, June 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: I Married An Angel (1950s Studio Casts) (Audio CD)

Original cast recordings from this show languished in obscurity until the good folks at AEI made them available on LP and CD, together with other more recent recordings of one of Rodgers & Hart's most delightful scores. Because American cast recordings of Broadway productions did not start until "Oklahoma!", there was never a full scale recording of this memorable R&H show, and we are fortunate that this has been made available. For Music Theater buffs, this is a *must* for any collection, for not only does it show Larry Hart at his wittiest, Richard Rodgers is at his most melodic, before the somewhat sugary melodies he composed during his association with Oscar Hammerstein II. "I Married an Angel" may not be their best known title, bu it sure is worth a listen!

3.0 out of 5 stars Odd compilation of disparate recordings - a recreation., September 22, 1998

This review is from: I Married An Angel (1950s Studio Casts) (Audio CD)

Someone loves this minor Rodgers and Hart show enough to attempt to assemble a studio cast recording by grouping popular recordings of most of the songs from the show (four are left out). Since this show has never received a cast album,it does fill a gap, but the score is not one of the team's best (only SPRING IS HERE and I'LL TELL THE MAN IN THE STREET were hits)and the effect is more of an oddity than a joy. For Rodgers and Hart fans only.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Orignal Broadway Cast buy nice, March 24, 2003

This review is from: I Married An Angel (1950s Studio Casts) (Audio CD)

This is not the Orignal Broadway cast of the musical. Traks n° 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9 were recorded in 1938 by Audey Christie (she was part of the original brodway cast) and Wynn Murray (she was in the original cast of Babes in Arms). The rest of the traks are from a radio show with Gordon MacRea.
