Query: A real disappointment

Reportedly, Sondheim had major problems with this British premiere production of his first full-length musical. If this recording is a true reflection of the show, I can see why. With the exception of one or two voices, everyone is either consistantly flat or sharp, their delivery strictly amateur night. Sondheim's lovely, clever score deserves far better. For now, stick with Liz Callaway, Marilyn Cooper and others singing this material on other compilation recordings.
