Flahooley (1951 Original Broadway Cast) ReviewFLAHOOLEY has had a checkered career in record company catalgues. The musical was a flop that folded after 5 weeks (40 performances) in the spring of 1951. Capitol records issued the cast album on June 18th ..2 days after the show had played its final performance. With the show no longer playing, interest was minimal and the Lp was deleted in 1955. Since very few copies had been sold, collectors who wanted the score had a difficult time tracking down the album. By the early 1970s its estimated value in collectors circles was $300. Finally in 1977...22 years after the album had left the catalogues, Capitol brought it back. A mid-priced ($6.98) reissue that duplicated the original album cover. The reissue was short-lived, for beyond harcore show music collectors there was no mass market for FLAHOOLEY and the Lp was deleted again.
In 1993 EMI launched a major Cd reissue campaign called Broadway Angel transferring 40 of the Capitol cast albums to CD, including FLAHOOLEY. This time the liner notes were expanded to include a history of the show, a detailed synopsis and an interview with Barbara Cook.
The CD again was bought mainly by collectors and was deleted in 1996. You would think that after 3 go-rounds, this would have been the end of FLAHOOLEY. But Noooooooooo... now DRG has brought it back.
The score by Sammy Fain and Ey.Y Harburg has several charming numbers: "Here's to your Illusions", "The World is Your Balloon"
and "The Springtime Cometh." None of the songs became hits, and FLAHOOLEY is never revived... not even in concert format.
Don't miss out on a chance to own a copy of FLAHOOLEY before it gets deleted for the 4th and final (?) time.Flahooley (1951 Original Broadway Cast) Overview
