Pictures From The Movie

Released: 1998

Genre: Musical

Studio: Jay Records

Starring:
- RisÃ« Stevens
- Adolph Green

Description:

It is one of the most seminal musicals in the history of the genre (the first musical to be more of a serious drama than a comedy, and certainly the first musical to deal with as weighty a theme as psychoanalysis), and it has some of the most beautiful of all Kurt Weill's music (including such standards as "Saga of Jenny," "This is New," and of course "My Ship"). But, unfortunately, its dated presentation of its themes (particularly with regard to gender) have made this loveliest of all 40s musicals virtually impossible to revive on the stage. The best recording has for years been a staged version done for RCA starring RisÃ« Stevens as Liza and Adolph Green as Russell Paxton (the roles Gertrude Lawrence and Danny Kaye made famous on the stage), but as fine as they were in these roles the orchestrations were sadly abbreviated (completely leaving out "The Dance of the Tumblers" and cutting out a good half of the beautiful extended sequence "Girl of the Moment").
