ONE OF MY FAVORITE "FORGOTTEN" MUSICALS June 7, 2013
By PETER J. (SANTA MONICA , CA) See All My Reviews
"During a stay in London, back in the early 80s, I chanced upon this musical version of THE FRONT PAGE, and was pretty nearly blown out of my seat. I couldn't wait for the Broadway transfer, so I could share my excitement with all my theater-going friends. Well, I'm still waiting, and continue to be puzzled as to why this astonishing show never crossed the pond. Having all but worn out my old LP, I was thrilled to find it available on CD through ArkivMusic, and recommend it to anyone who loves rousing show music and wonderfully witty lyrics. Trust me ... you won't be disappointed. The only thing missing, of course, is the equally inventive staging. At the end of Act One, the set ... a three- train length affair that slid on and off Stage Right and Stage Left, alternately revealing and hiding the jail, the reporter's room in the Courthouse and the sheriff's office ... rolled back and forth, back and forth, as most of the cast chased escaped convict Earl Williams. Up, down, back, forth, went cast and sets, all singing like mad, until the very end, when Williams dove through the reporter's room skylight, scattering glass everywhere. He then leapt into the big roll-top desk Stage Center and pulled the roll-top down over himself as the curtain came down. One of the most exciting First Act endings I've ever seen!"
