5.0 out of 5 stars Great Broadway score with hilarious Lucille Ball, August 21, 1998

This was Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh's first Broadway score and it's a winner in every song. The book is a sort of Annie Get Your Gun plot with Lucy as the ugly duckling who blossoms and tones down her competitive ways to win her man. Keith Andes sings beautifully opposite her. The show should be revived because the score is fabulous and the book is certainly serviceable. The production closed after only 162 performances due to Lucy's inability to keep up the Broadway stamina of eight performances a week and there being no one of similar quality to take over. Ann-Margret was to have done the film but it never materialized. A great show album with fine performances, comedic acting and rousing singing.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm wild about Wildcat, March 29, 1999

Knowing I've been on a search for Wildcat for many years, a friend recently bought it for me through Amazon and what a delight it is. I had the pleasure of seeing Lucy in Wildcat on Broadway in 1960 and hearing the music again brings back the thrill I had at seeing my idol in person. The quality of the CD is great, the music is fabulous and it surely demonstrates Lucy's comedic genius. This CD is a must for any Lucy fan !

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS CD!!!!!!, October 5, 1999

If you love Lucy you'll love this CD. You would normally think that she wouldn't sing very much on it due to her "unique" voice, but there are only about 3 songs that she doesn't sing. A must have for and Lucy fan.
