I saw the show in Chicago and loved it. They were selling this same CD in the lobby for $25. I'm glad I resisted and bought it on amazon instead. Great oldies with excellent sound quality.

Of course there should have been much more. I remember there been a Metropolian Opera series called CAST ALBUMS- 100 YEARS that was put out for a limited time only and had like five volumes.
As Peter Filichia noted they left out SHE LOVES ME, BRIGADOON and SWEENEY TODD. Also nothing from PACIFIC OVERTURES, BIG RIVER, CHESS, CRAZY FOR YOU, JEKYLL & HYDE, TITANIC, THE SCARLET
PIMPERNEL, FOOTLOOSE- THE MUSICAL, THE FULL MONTY, URINTOWN...
But they couldn't have put it all. I would have done without Lee Remick's
"Anyone Can Whistle", because the show was a flop. I guess because it was Sondheim's first "serious" show...

On the Town is one of the Great Theater Scores of all times. If you don't know it well then you probably think West Side Story came out of no where from Bernstein's imagination, when nothing could be further from the truth. On the Town is a younger man's musical, told in song and dance almost equally. This great score has been very well served on recordings. Leonard Bernstein went into the studio in 1960 (almost 20 years after the show closed and brought all the important parts of the original cast with him. Nancy Walker, Betty Comden, Adolphe Green, and Cris Alexander recreate their Broadway performances magnificently, and Bernstein conducts as only a composer could. Unfortunately although he recorded the entire score, when it was released, bits and pieces were snip snipped and some ... Read More

This recording is good first of all, and shows that Gilbert and Sullivan Opera is not a thing merely of the past; but three differences between it and its 1960 forerunner show its ups and downs well.

The main difference between this account and the D'Oyly Carte's 1960 recording, is, of course, dialogue. As many have mentioned, it is a matter of taste whether or not you want this other half of the opera. I prefer it personally: words can be music just as much as music itself. I own the 1960 recording and do not wish that it did not have the dialogue, even after many, many listenings. Gilbert's wit has almost as much repeat value as Sullivan's music in a way, and if you do not want to hear a certain bit of dialogue, really, all you have to do is press the "forward" button on your stereo. ...
