Editorial Reviews

Based on the 1960 Academy Award-winning Billy Wilder film The Apartment, PROMISES, PROMISES tells the story of the Consolidated Life Insurance Company and Chuck Baxter (Sean Hayes), one of its charming young employees. In an effort to advance at the company, Chuck lends executives his apartment for their extramarital romantic trysts. But things become slightly complicated when Fran Kubelik (Kristin Chenoweth), the object of Chuck s affection, becomes the mistress of one of his executives.
The hit-packed score for PROMISES, PROMISES was the one and only Broadway foray of Burt Bacharach and Hal David and includes the gems I Say A Little Prayer, A House Is Not A Home, I ll Never Fall In Love Again, Promises, Promises, Knowing When to Leave and Turkey Lurkey Time.
PROMISES, PROMISES has been nominated for four 2010 Tony Awards and stars Emmy Award-winner Sean Hayes (TV s Will and Grace), Tony and Emmy Award-winner Kristin Chenoweth (TV s Glee, Wicked on Broadway), Tony Goldwyn (the movie Ghost), Tony Award-winner Katie Finneran (Noises Off on Broadway) and Tony Award-winner Dick Latessa (Hairspray on Broadway).

Terrific score, with better male performances than on the 1968 recording

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

Burt Bacharach is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century and this score is a gem. There are two recordings available, the 1968 Broadway cast and this 1990 revival. The hits "A House Is Not A Home" and "I Say A Little Prayer" were added to the revival, which is a nice surprise, though I would not purchase this recording for those songs (try Mavis Staples for "House" and Dionne Warwick for "Prayer" instead).
Comparing this recording to the original 1968 one, I actually prefer Sean Hayes' performances on this recording to Jerry Orbach's. Kristin Chenoweth does a good job here, but I miss the original cast's Jill O'Hara for the female lead numbers. I ended up buying both the 1968 and this recording, but if you only want to purchase one version, I'd go with this one. Some of the vocals for the 1968 recording are surprisingly off-pitch.

COMPLETELY WON OVER......BUT......

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2010

I have always been a big fan of the 1968 musical "Promises, Promises" with its "different", for Broadway, Burt Bacharach/Hal David score. I was a bit wary that they would tinker with the original orchestrations for this revival but I was pleasantly surprised they haven't. Sure they have somewhat softened the brass and added voices to the unseen, scat-singing chorus but the results work just fine. "Promises, Promises" is one of those rare shows where dialogue, jokes and musical numbers hum along in perfect synch, like a finely tuned car, but this production has thrown a few curves in the road.

The female lead, Fran Kubelik, played by Kristen Chenoweth is short-changed in musical numbers so this revival has added a couple of Bacharach/David numbers, "I Say A Little Prayer" and "A House Is Not A Home" for her to sing and how, why or where they fit into this finely tuned show I can't figure out but they adjust to the curves well but adds a little excess baggage to the trunk of the finely tuned car.

Sean Hayes as Chuck Baxter has a very unusual, to say the least singing voice. Although he sounds like an elf with blocked nasal passages and a pronounced vibrato, strangely enough it fits with the vulnerability of his character. And his duet with Miss Chenoweth on "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" is charming.

The musical numbers featuring "Knowing When To Leave" which is a tricky song to sing, "Where Can You Take A Girl" "She Likes Basketball' "Whoever You Are" the title song, "Half As Big As Life" "Our Little Secret" and even the silly "Turkey Lurkey Time" in fact the entire score is just fine and a lot of fun.

And for a change a revival that for the most part doesn't monkey around with the original but I still wonder how "I Say A Little Prayer" and "A House is Not A Home" fits the show.

P.S. Just for the record, "A House Is Not A Home" was the title song for a movie about a whorehouse. The lyrics are pretty generic but knowing and having seen the original movie, when Kristen Chenoweth sings about the "house" I think back to a movie where scantily clad babes are lounging around the "house."

Pitch Perfect Promises, Promises!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2010

I was truly amazed how well Sean Hayes took over his role from the great Jerry Orbach and made the songs more brilliantly sung with passion and excellence. Being nomintaed for his first Tony for his first Broadway show just proves that Sean Hayes has the vocal prowess needed to be a new and rising star on Broadway. Sean's voice sparkles with delight and he is perfectly matched with America's, if not the world's, sweetheart Kristin Chenoweth.

Kristin Chenoweth brings such great light, voice and newness to each of her songs and I can be assured her version of Say A Little Prayer should soon be playing on all the airwaves. "Who is Dionne Warwick," will be asked by the many generations who've never heard of her or her version of Say A Little Prayer. Kristin said she just loved working with Sean and couldn't think of a better partner to be mounting the revival of Promises, Promises with.

Together they brought this almost forgotten musical to the forefront to razzle and dazzle Broadway with new life and sheer joy with their marvelously entertaining revival.

Seeing the show I was thrilled I went back to New York this May to see my family and of course go to Broadway. My first show there was Promises, Promises and it made my vacation all the more exciting to be back on Broadway and seeing Sean and Kristin in this tremendously successful musical revival. I would go see my family again just so I can see both Sean and Kristin in Promises, Promises again.

This CD is so close to the play itself that for those who haven't got a chance to see this musical yet will be able to envision the sets and all the wonderful songs and fantastic voices. Buy the CD now from Amazon and share the excitement of a Broadway Musical as it should be heard. Great voices and great music make this my most adored musical revival to date. I cannot say enough great things about Promises, Promises and you will too when you hear this fantastic CD.
