Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
John McGlinn's sprawling, monumental three-CD set is about all the Show Boat any listener could ever ask for. In an obvious labor of love, McGlinn reconstructs the show as it ran on opening night, November 15, 1927, including every song, the original orchestrations, and all underscored dialogue. The most significant restoration is the dark choral number "Mis'ry's Comin' Aroun'," as Show Boat's serious subject matter helped establish its place as the most important turning point in the history of American musical theater. McGlinn also adds an appendix that includes songs cut before opening night and every song subsequently written for the show's many productions, most notably the love duet "I Have the Room Above Her," written for the 1936 film. (The recording is also available in a one-disc reduction called the "Broadway Show Album.")

Rest assured this 221-minute blockbuster is not just dry scholarship; it's also terrific listening, with McGlinn conducting a dynamic London Sinfonietta and a strong cast including Frederica von Stade as Magnolia, Jerry Hadley as Ravenal, Teresa Stratas as the tragic Julie, Bruce Hubbard as the worldly wise Joe, Karla Burns as Queenie, and David Garrison and Paige O'Hara as the comic couple Frank and Ellie. And of course the songs by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II are among the most glorious ever written: "Ol' Man River," "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man," "Make Believe," "Why Do I Love You," "Bill," "You Are Love," and "Life upon the Wicked Stage." Also included are exhaustive production notes, a history of the show, a detailed synopsis, and a libretto. John McGlinn's Show Boat is a staggering achievement and a recording for the ages. --David Horiuchi



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It's complete but it's mediocre; or, it's mediocre but it's complete
Show Boat deserves the deluxe treatment, a complete recording of the original score, including reprises of the big numbers and dialogue from the major scenes so that the interwining of song and story comes across. It took over 70 years for such a recording to come to pass, and the achievement is no small victory.

But what a dull, lifeless album! McGlinn is true to the original tempos, but they are far below the speed most musical theater enthusiasts will be comfortable with. An even bigger problem is the casting. Frederica von Stade has a too-mature voice and odd intonation. She sounds like a deep voiced German, not an American girl. Yet this is the work that inaugurated the American musical as an art form. Most actresses have trouble ... Read More:



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Show Boat applaud
A powerful story still relevant in our 21st century. Gorgeous voices. Jerry Hadley's recent death seems even more of a loss after hearing his lovely tenor.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Yup, it's great
Having just acquired this album and listening to it in one (l-o-n-g) sitting, I have to agree with everything stated by other Amazon reviewers. (I didn't think too much of Jerry Hadley, though.)

One other thing that struck me was the original spoken dialogue that contains quite a few references that are NOT AT ALL "politically correct" in today's social environment. I wonder how controversial it was when EMI was putting this production together; did they consider making changes to the original dialogue? Maybe it's like Mark Twain's Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer: a classic's a classic. Still, I doubt many school music programs are using this recording as a reference demonstration of American musical theater!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The historic set reissued at a "popular" price
In the fall of 1988, EMI made history by releasing a note-complete recording of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein's immortal musical SHOW BOAT.

Surprisingly, the original 1927 version had never been recorded complete. Those in search of the entire score were forced to assemble it themselves from a number of available recordings.

The record labels were not making full original cast albums in 1927, although a few of the original stars made singles of their hit songs. Brunswick issued an album of highlights from the 1932 revival but only 3 of the six selections were by members of the Broadway cast.

Columbia's album of the 1946 revival was closer, but limited to five 12-inch 78 it covered only nine songs and ... Read More:
