I welcomed this score back into my life through the CD. This show was reissued by Columbia on vinyl in the 1970s. Listening to it, I couldn't believe it was a flop. (The overture is as good as All American.) My father suggested it opened just as the pop art fad was fading, and thus nobody wanted to see it just for the score, which is probably Strouse and Adams' best. The songs are almost insanely memorable, especially the ones written for Clark and Lois. The problem is that having two villians - ... Read More

It's A Bird ... It's A Plane ... It's Superman (1966 Original Broadway Cast)has long been one of my favorite scores that wasn't a hit. In fact I directed an ill fated production in 1982. Comic stars Jack Cassidy and Linda Lavin out shine the leads of Patricia Marchand and Bob Holiday as Lois Lane and Clark/Superman but it is all a lot of fun.
Linda Lavin's "You've Got Possibilities" is an infectious treat. "It's Superman" is a very catchy Strouse tune. The whole show is a tongue in ... Read More
