Carol Lawrence..I saw this show and her Maria in West Side Story..Gorgeous!

Carol Lawrence is the reason to buy this CD. Orson Bean and Phyllis Newman are very good, but Sidney Chaplin???Awful. He ruins the songs he tries to sing. Carol Lawrence fought him all the way in this show and she should have.

Wonderful lyrics and music, the Overture is a winner, and then, Miss Lawrence takes over.

A GREAT SCORE WITH GREAT ORCHESTRATION AND GREAT RECORDING
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is one of the great scores for a 1960ish Broadway musical. The orchestrations are iconic. This show ran for just over 200 performances. With the cooperation instead of the CENSURE of the New York Port Authority this show might have run several times longer. The final book appears weaker to some, due to multiple story lines. However, the music is phenomenal. Enjoy the music for what it is.

I like the songs and lyrics of this show

I like the songs and lyrics of this show...Wish I could buy a quality CD recording of them.

These second hand records are pretty worn out ..... I bough two of them.. Songs on both were damaged .

But not the same songs. I think I can now make a complete set of MP3 songs out of the two records I bought .

Nostalgic Listening in a New Age
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2004

In 1962, audiences were used to one primary plot in their entertainment. However, "Subways Are For Sleeping" introduced many sub-plots which was unusual for the time. Plus the topic of homelessness was considered extremely taboo in the early sixties. I believe if this show got a good face lift and put back out there, it may just find an audience that it never found before. I liked the "Subway Directions" part of "Ride Through The Night". These patters are still difficult even by today's standards. I think this show was before it's time.

We saw the Musical in Musty version of this fantastic play performed at the York Theatre in NYC and we simply had to have the vinyl album. Thank you making it possible. It's like going back in time to 1961!

Did not see it but how can you not like a Jule Styne score? The show flopped but a very pleasant listenable score

If you liked Bells are Ringing you will be thrilled with "Subways". This is classic Broadway musical. The music is better than the actual play.

A HIDDEN TREASURE!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2012

Seemingly the book of this musical was rather weak and it didn't enjoy much of a run back in 1961. Musically however it is of a high standard, as of course you would expect from Jule Styne, and the lyrics by Comden and Green are first-rate. And then there's the marvellous Carol Lawrence! She sings, among others, "Girls Like Me" and "I've Said It And I'm Glad" to great effect. Orson Bean and Phyllis Newman are also startlingly good and the orchestra under Milton Rosenstock is fabulous!! If there is a slight weakness it's Sydney Chaplin who is not a "real" singer, but delivers Harrisonesque versions of his numbers. But for me this detracts little from the overall impact of a much underrated score!
