ON THE RECORD: Operettas from Herbert and Romberg
Take heart, operetta fans, of whom there are apparently still quite a number (and I'm not one of them). Decca Records — back in the days when they almost single-handedly created the field of Broadway original cast albums and topped the Broadway charts with titles like Oklahoma! and Carousel and Annie Get Your Gun and The King and I — saw fit to embark on a series of studio recordings of famous old operettas. Decca Broadway is transferring eight of these relatively brief recordings onto four CDs (released individually). These are indispensable for operetta fans, I suppose, as most of these songs are unavailable elsewhere. For non operetta fans like myself, they are — well, operetta. Not without interest, but operetta.

STAGE TO SCREEN: Kevin Kline Has a "De-Lovely" Time
Once you get past the framing device of a ghostly guide (Jonathan Pryce) bringing Cole Porter to an empty theater for a “This Is Your Life”-style stroll down memory lane, “De-Lovely” is a fairly straightforward biopic.

ON THE RECORD: Millie and Susan Johnson Rediscovered
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE RCAVictor 09026-63959
There are those who say that Thoroughly Modern Millie was the best musical of the season, and others who say Urinetown wuz robbed. There's little purpose, here and now, to continue the discussion. Urinetown was saluted for score, book and director, while Millie got the big prize. Yes, it is true that Millie entered the balloting with an advantage of 50 votes or so, due to a consortium of Tony voters who banded together to invest in the show. But Millie needed at least 200 additional votes to win Best Musical — which means that they received votes from a substantial number of people who were not producers of Thoroughly Modern Millie. If Sweet Smell of Success had 50 voters as investors, I suspect, it still wouldn't have won Best Musical. Or even 100.

The Hamilton Effect: How Shows Graduate from Smash to Phenomenon
Back in 2001, theatre critic Chris Jones settled into his aisle seat at Chicago’s Cadillac Theatre. The evening’s bill was a new musical by filmmaker Mel Brooks—his first attempt at a stage work. It was an adaptation of his classic 1968 film The Producers, about a conniving down-on-his-luck Broadway producer who, along with his mousy accountant, concocts that idea of purposefully putting together a Broadway bomb in order to pocket the investors’ money.
