Li'l Abner (1956 Original Broadway Cast) ReviewAt long last, this must-own recording is available in a properly remastered, easy-to-find CD. This is the kind of show Broadway doesn't have any more: Not a blockbuster, but a good solid hit that made money and kept audiences entertained for two years with jokes, great songs, smart staging and a perfect cast. Much of the fun of the show is preserved on producer Goddard Lieberson's Broadway cast recording, which has now been improved by the addition of 10 minutes' worth of material that didn't make it onto the LP, including the big ballet and an expanded version of the finale. There's also a lot of good stuff here that was dropped in the movie version, such as the biting "Oh, Happy Day" and the encore verses of "Jubilation T. Cornpone." Apart from the overture and ballet, the recording is in mono, but the sound is excellent nonetheless, with the engineers capturing all the detail of Phil Lang's raucous orchestrations. Above all, this recording is to be savored for Johnny Mercer's lyrics, perhaps the finest -- and certainly the funniest -- work of this master songwriter. This CD reissue features plenty of photos and notes, and the only quibble I have is that it doesn't feature a plot synopsis. But if you like musical comedy, you've got to have this CD.Li'l Abner (1956 Original Broadway Cast) Overview
