CD Reviews

THE GREATEST THEATRICAL SCORE!

01/03/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"SEESAW is my favorite show. The score is absolutely brilliant. Cy Coleman is, in my opinion, the greatest Broadway composer and Seesaw really portrays that. Michele Lee has the perfect husky/raspy voice and Tommy Tune is fantastic. Ken Howard is a great Jerry Ryan, and really shows off Dorothy Fields' beautiful lyrics in his solo number, "You're a Lovable Lunatic." The lyrics are witty and the tunes range from the upbeat and wacky "It's Not Where You Start" to Gittel's mellow number, "He's Good For Me." The score really fits the story line, and unlike Coleman's other early works (i.e. Little Me, Sweet Charity, Wildcat) the songs are not all big jazzy vaudeville numbers (Little Me and the others are still great, just different). I would have loved to see this on the stage, but at least I have the CD! This is what Broadway's all about!"

This Seesaw is merely quirky fun

"Cy Coleman's Seesaw overture is a wonderful start to a wonderfully breezy CD. Most of the chorus numbers are very poor ( Spanglish, Ride Out the Storm), but the spotlighted Michele Lee, Ken Howard, and Tommy Tune are preserved fantastically. Michele Lee's husky voice is capable of making your heart soar and break at the same time. Her comedic timing is wonderful (Welcome to Holiday Inn), her down-on-her-luck song is perfection(Nobody Does It Like Me), and Poor Everybody Else will have you rooting for Michele instantly. Ken Howard is truly a Lovable Lunatic. And Tommy Tune's Tony Award winning performance is captured here with "It's Not Where You Start." It is typically Coleman music, but he is wonderfully aided with Dorothy Fields's lyrics. If you can find it for a discount, don't resist!"

"I SAW THIS SHOW AND LOVED EVERY MOMENT. I TILL REMEMBER HOW MUCH FUN I HAD. I WAS IN COLLEGE AT THE TIME AND HAD THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT AGAIN. THE SCORE IS WONDERFUL, TUNEFUL AND MEMORABLE."

Seesaw is a "Hell Of A Ride" & Broadway at its best!!!

""Seesaw" is a wondrous Broadway Musical that has all the elements of the Ultimate Broadway Musical...great score, tremendous leads and Tommy Tune is fascinating co-starring in a role tailor made to his unique character & is he ever a total showstopper! Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields are at the peak of there legendary power here and create a mind whirling group of great songs making "Seesaw" the Ultimate Broadway Fantasy Musical. Michele Lee in great voice must have blown audiences away and out of their seats with her magnificent solo spots and Ken Howard is engrossing throughout as Jerry Ryan but these memorable leads not touring must have been what kept this incredible musical from getting deserved legendary status that many lesser works have acheived. Los Angeles had an exhuberant production with Lucie Arnaz and John Gavin giving amazing performances plus the incredible Tommy Tune from Original Broadway production playing to packed houses evenings this music lover experienced the greatest musical ever to be housed in The Music Center Ahmanson Theater...standing ovations filled those memorable evenings but that wasn't enough to give acclaim deserved to such a great work. Original Broadway Cast is awesome & hold up great with the passage of time and Michele lets it rip with her great passionate voice making one wonder why this magnificent talent stopped singing...the lady can really SING and believe at the time "Nobody Does It Like Me" was fact! Bravo to Michele and company and will be forever inspired by the message of "It's Not Where You Start, It's Where You Finish"...can still see Tommy Tune doing this wondrous production number and it is a true CLASSIC!!!"

"Before Michael Bennett provided us with the masterpiece A CHORUS LINE, he was involved with a hidden treat, SEESAW. This score that still resonates today, is highlighted by Michelle Lee's outstanding performance, terrific music, and a charming story that isn't necessarily "happy-ever-after.""
