 Rating:  - Never heard a musical I didn't like!On my birthday in 1992, I enjoyed this show at the Palace Theatre in New York with Keith Carradine. I fell in love with the music, the rope tricks and the set. A month later I purchased the cassette. Fast forward to 2007. I now have the CD and enjoying reliving every minute of watching this show! It certainly brought back memories of one of the finest musicals in the 1990s. It's a C.D. that I know you are going to like. Who knows...it might be revived in the future! Stay tuned!! Rating:  - charming showA grand return to the golden heydey of Broadway musical comedies, THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES features a suitably-nostalgic score from Cy Coleman, with attractive and comedic lyrics from Betty Comden and Adolph Green (one of their last major efforts for the stage).

THE PERFORMANCES ARE GREAT, WITH GREAT ORCHESTRATIONS AND SOUND. FOR ME THIS IS A CLASSIC! HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE! Rating: - A wonderful homage to WillWill Rogers was simply a great American. He had his finger on the pulse and understood the zietgeist long before that word had come into popular usage. Admittedly, doing stage biographies is tough (witness the Peter Allen show from a few seasons back and imagine it without the tour-de-force called Hugh Jackman) and this proved no exception. But, one cannot take these shows literally...that's the magic of the theatre...and if you just hunker down in your seat and take the spirit and the essence of what they're trying to get across, then you'll be both entertained and touched by the show and the man who Will Rogers was. Several of the on-line reviewers are critical of the material...yet if you give this CD a listen ... Read More: Rating: - Will Rogers Follies on CDThis CD was very enjoyable. The songs were fun.
