Customer Reviews Tony Award for Best Musical ? How could they...? Most probably Miss Verdon was marvelous in the theatre production, but as this is an opinion for the soundtrack, I may say that I found it awfully boring and quite dissapointing. I still can't believe that this musical made it for the Tony as Best Musical. Once you listen to the album, it's difficult to remember one single tune since they simply respond to the most conventional clichés for a musical. I wouldn't recommend it except to fanatic collectors of Tony award winners. GREAT One of my very favorite Broadway scores and delighted to find it. Excellent service, timing, etc. Performers better than the material. Though the show won the 1959 Tony award it has never been revived and will probably NEVER see a full-scale revival. Gwen Verdon and Richard Kiley give fine performances here but the material is decidedly second-rate. The disc is for musical theatre completists only. .
