4.0 out of 5 stars An Overlooked Gem in the Kander and Ebb Cannon, April 10, 2000

By A Customer

"Woman of the Year" has long been an overlooked gem in the great Kander and Ebb cannon. Not as flashy as "Cabaret" nor with the grit of "Kiss of Spider Woman" or "Chicago", indeed it is probably one of their most atypical scores. Despite her obvious vocal limitations, Lauren Bacall proves once again (as she did in "Applause") that the acting of the song is so much more crucial to its presentation than a pretty voice, particularly in the rousing title song, and the plaintive "I Wrote the Book". The supporting cast lends fine backup support in such cuts as "It Isn't Working" and "Happy in the Morning". And of course, probably the most familiar of the songs, "The Grass Is Always Greener" is always a joy to listen to...indeed it becomes, along with "The Apple Doesn't Fall" from "The Rink", a sort of Kander and Ebb calling card. This Kander and Ebb score, along with lesser known works such as "The Act" and "The Happy Time", deserves to be rediscovered by a new generation of musical theatre lovers,in the same way that "Chicago" and "Cabaret" enjoyed recent second lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, Unforgettable, Must have, August 5, 1999

By A Customer

Magnificent. The thrill of the captured performance of Lauren Bacall with the magical words and music of Kander and Ebb make this totally unforgettable. I love this CD and own almost every theater cd every made. Those who also loved Bacall in APPLAUSE, take note, this is a superior score (by far) and Bacall's performance is extraordinary. If you have been waiting for APPLAUSE on CD, get WOMAN OF THE YEAR. You'll be thankful and discover a new world of joy.
