All City [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
They're preppy, white, university-educated, and from the 'burbs--Mobb Deep, meet your worst nightmare. Desperately trying to stave off the novelty-act accusations from naysayers who might question their cheap Beastie Girls shtick, Hesta Prynn, Spero, and Sprout flow like Valley Girls Gone Wild on the mic--except they're from New York. "Ignite" kicks off the set and is a good harbinger of feminist things to come: "on one track you're dropping hos, like dropping dropping bombs, next track you're writing odes unto your moms." Oh yes, Northern State has spunk. On "Girl for All Seasons" they tackle body-image issues, and on "Don't Look Down," they spit close-to-home lines like "I'm getting out of this city any way I can, I'll be a soccer mom in a minivan." Boasting production credits from fine knob-twiddlers like the Roots' Questlove, Muggs, and Pete Rock, Northern State is clearly no joke, although their half-baked metaphors and whiny flows don't always do the beats justice. Still, Northern State reminds us that in many ways hip-hop itself has grown up and left the 'hood for the 'burbs. --Dalton Higgins

5 out of 5 stars Okalahoma.......2007-07-17

Very good quality reproduction, and enjoyable to listen to the full length movie soundtrack again.

4 out of 5 stars MacRae and Jones head a superb and O.K. adaptation.......2007-03-16

The film adaptation of Oklahoma heralded a technological breakthrough in widescreen cinema just as the original stage musical ushered in the integrated book musical. As such this film adaptation was treated as a special occasion, well-supervised by the creators themselves. The soundtrack, featured here, boasts sterling performances from MacRae and Jones making the most of their portrayals of Curly and Laurey, backed by a charismatic cast and superb orchestrations. And of course let's not forget the enveloping stereo sound that holds up well even today.

Despite being a Hollywood star, Gordon MacRae performs the part of Curly as if he was born to play it even on the stage. He shines vocally in his renditions of Oh, what a Beautiful Mornin' and Surrey with the Fringe on Top. He is well-partnered by Shirley Jones as a fresh and pert Laurey, lending her beautiful voice to the part. Although we don't hear much of her on this soundtrack, her partnering MacRae in People Will Say We're in Love exudes a masterful chemistry, as if they were setting sparks off at each other in their rendition of the song. Gene Nelson makes a dashing Will Parker and is equally well-matched by Gloria Grahame as Ado Annie. Grahame renders I Cain't Say No splendidly and partners Nelson in All er Nothin'. The supporting cast is filled out by Charlotte Greenwood's suitably caustic Aunt Eller and Rod Steiger's Jud. It's a pity that the film cut the song Lonely Room, otherwise Steiger would have better demonstrated the dark hues of the character of Jud. Yet it all adds up to a wonderful renditionh of this classic musical, enough to elicit a spontaneous YEOW! during this year of the Oklahoma centenary.

This EMI-Angel reissue offers one the advantage of the dance music and the main titles. This means that the listener gets the Kansas City and Farmer and the Cowman dance sequences, as well as the extended Dream Ballet. The only downside is the extraneous sound effects lifted from a DVD copy of the movie. Yes I share many of your sentiments that these sound effects tend to grate, and long for Didier Deutsch to have used the original untainted studio vault versions. However, let's at least be thankful that the CD producers have offered us a more comprehensive version of the Oklahoma soundtrack that we could only have dreamt of in the past.

In short, this is a wonderful and valuable addition to the R&H discography, and is an equally celebrated rendition of the score like the original Broadway cast recording. Warmly recommended to those who seek even their first version of Oklahoma.

5 out of 5 stars Broadway in a movie setting at it's very best!.......2007-03-06

I have the original Broadway version, but prefer this movie selection.
The CD is flawless and, in my opinion, there's nothing better than a Rodgers
and Hammerstein musical for music, lyrics and pure joy! This is the best!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2007-01-30

A great way to introduce oneself to the world of the nearly extinct Hollywood musical.

5 out of 5 stars Beauiful.......2006-06-05

Album Description

Top of the British Classical Charts for 10 Weeks! Billboard Top Ten Classical Recording - December 2002! This album gathers together most of the carols I have composed over the years, plus a sprinkling of my arrangements of traditional carols, grouped to form a program which narrates, reflects upon, and celebrates the Christmas story. I have always enjoyed carols ever since I first sang them as a member of my school choir, and it was not long before I began to write carols of my own-in fact my first two published compositions were the Nativity Carol and the Shepherd's Pipe Carol. For any musician involved in choral music, Christmas is an especially joyous time, and I am indeed happy that it has played a part in my musical life for so many years- JOHN RUTTER

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Rutter Christmas Album.......2007-05-14

Great selection of music, and well presented. This is however older recordings that do not match the quality of Rutter's latest recordings such as the Te Deum or the Gloria.

5 out of 5 stars Unique and Beautiful!.......2007-03-09

John Rutter, and his beautiful music, is such a gift to the world. This unique Christmas CD is magnificent! Especially touching are two of Rutter's original carols, "Christmas Lullaby" and the joyful "Angels' Carol." The musical selections speak to the soul, helping the listener connect to emotions of joy, peace, faith, hope, and love. This is a worthy addition to your collection of Christmas CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Johh Rutter Chirstmas Album.......2007-02-19

If I were to choose only one Christmas album to ever own, this would be the one. John Rutter is an exceptional composer of religious music, with unusual harmonies. The music is difficult to sing, and because this is his own choir and he is directing it, the performance is flawless. Gives you goosebumps.

5 out of 5 stars Liked it enough to go through a lot of trouble to give it a review........2007-02-07

Great music by John Rutter: Great performance!

5 out of 5 stars John Rutter and Cambridge Singers.......2007-01-18

This is quintessential English cathedral music; beautifully sung. Reminds one of the English Christmas -- warm and serene -- that we've only experienced in our dreams!

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars A Listening Treat .......2007-03-08

What a delight to listen to this collection of pure Rutter ! The melodic sounds of the Cambridge Singers bring me such pleasure The sheer joyfulness of this music is to me a religious experience of such depth It is superb and will lift ones spirits instantly. highly recommended to all lovers of the English contemporary choral sound and scene,____ not to be missed

5 out of 5 stars Be Thoy My Vision CD.......2007-02-19

My husband sang many of these John Rutter compositions with his church choir, and this CD is perfect since the choir is directed by Rutter, singing his own music. If you love religious music, this will bring tears to your eyes, the choir is "that" perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Really good, but don't listen to it all at once........2007-01-07

I really liked this CD. It really showcases Rutter's knack for religious choral music. Perhaps it helps that I have sung some of his stuff with various groups. However, as with any similar compiliation, the composer's sameness of style and motif becomes apparent. This repetition can become boring on the third or fourth listening. On the other hand, this makes a great reference tool for any choral director or performer. Buy it, however, it's worth it, but don't listen to it all at once.

5 out of 5 stars A must for choral music fans.......2006-09-19

Simply fabulous, 10/10. These are all Rutter-composed pieces, directed by Rutter himself. If you have any interest in religious choral music at all, you must get this album! One of the highlights of my musical life was attending a concert of a University of Maryland choir in which my mom sang, that featured Rutter as a guest conductor. Listening to this album is almost as good! ;-) There are too many good pieces to start naming all of my favorites, but these are some of the best known ones: "Open Thou Mine Eyes", "A Gaelic Blessing", "All Things Bright and Beautiful", "As the Bridegroom to His Chosen", "For the Beauty of the Earth", and "The Lord Bless You and Keep You".

5 out of 5 stars An outstanding collection of Rutter's hymns.......2005-11-22

I sought a recording of Rutter's beautiful hymn, "Wings of the Morning", after we sang this lovely tune in church and this was the only CD I could find that contained it.

This collection includes many of Rutter's church hymns recorded over a period of 20 years performed by The Cambridge Singers, a group of Brits, that are conducted by the composer. Ergo, these performances must be considered definitive.

Many of Rutter's popular hymns are included here. "O be joyful to the Lord" and "All things bright and beautiful", a popular children's hymn done here by adults, follow "Wings of the morning" on tracks 5-7. Others you may have performed in church represented here are "O clap your hands", "Lord make me an instrument of your peace", "For the beauty of the earth", "Look at the world" and "The Lord bless you and keep you" among the 21 assembled hymns.

While The Cambridge Singers, on their Web site, identify themselves principally as an a capella group, I was pleased when I received this CD to find all the hymns supported by a full orchestra, the esteemed City of London Sinfonia. The renditions are uniformly lovely although some listeners may find the singing a bit on the white side lacking brilliance and individuality. Everything is done in keeping with Rutter's score markings and style.

The recording tends to be a little variable given the 20-plus year difference in performances. The most recent copyright listing is 2003, the same year "Wings of the morning" was published. I don't hear an appreciable difference in that recording than the others but still hear some age in older works.

If you seek a Rutter hymn collection you can't go wrong here. You have wonderful English performers mated to the composer in his more popular works. I'd recommend this without reservation to anyone seeking this collection.

5 out of 5 stars excellent entertainment.......2007-01-20

I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas DVD . I want to buy more of Andre Rieu.

5 out of 5 stars The Christmas I Love.......2007-01-10

I was very pleased with the CD and would recommend it to everyone.

All of Andre Rieu's music is very enjoyable to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars A Christmas Collection That Is Just Plain Fun.......2005-11-19

Sometimes I think the only person who is happy that Public television is financially challenged, other that certain legislators who believe that it is too liberal and the culmination of all that is evil, is Andre Rieu. Now don't get me wrong, this happy Dutch musician who models himself after Johan Straus is not a cruel or vindictive person. At least from what I can tell he's not, but let's face it. If PBS did not have financial woes, Andre Rieu, one of its favorite stars, would not have received the exposure he has, and his sales in the United States would probably be next to nothing. Of course for anyone who has ever seen one of his extravaganzas, we would be missing something enjoyable. He's musically sound and he knows how to entertain, and quiet frankly, though some classical purists may cringe at his name, I don't believe the composers whose music he uses are rolling in their graves because it's become popular once again.

Of all his concerts and CDs, I enjoy THE CHRISTMAS I LOVE the most. The jitterbug version of "Jingle Bells" shows that an old tune can produce new tricks. His arrangement of "The Holy City" (a.k.a. "Jerusalem") is almost as moving as when it is performed with a vocalist. The recording has a number of medleys that include favorites from all over Europe show how Christmas has such an international flair. For me, however, this album provides true variety. Many of the carols are not familiar to Americans, so we hear something different yet also authentic to the holiday season.

I'm surprised that there have not been other Rieu Christmas discs. He's an original musician and a consummate showman, so I'm sure there's more he could do with holiday music, but maybe he knows he has a classic with this collection and it will stand the test of time.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful; marvellous.......2000-09-30

Andre Rieu proves again he is the best of the best! I bought this CD in october 1997, a few weeks before Andre's concert In Quebec city. In this CD, you'll find all the classics of Christmas. They are well played because Andre and his orchestra know how to bring us the atmosphere of Christmas. The desing of the CD is well done. If you,re looking for good music, please try this CD You'll enjoy it. If you have the occasion to see his Christmas concert on TV, watch it. It's very beautiful.

This his not the first CD made by Andre. In 1992, he released "Spielt Die Schonten Weihnachtslieder".

5 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.......1999-08-18

Another wonderful Andre Rieu CD. All the Rieu recordings and videos are a breath of fresh air - a joy to the soul.

Album Description

New Orleans funk with serious jazz chops and a superbad attitude! Galactic drummer Stanton Moore cuts loose on his first solo album with special guests Charlie Hunter, Skerik, Ben Ellman and others.

Amazon.com

New Orleans drummer Stanton Moore can be found providing the backbeat for the groovy Galactic or the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars. While much has been made of Moore's ability to lay down the funk, All Kooked Out! also touches New Orleans second-line marches and a bit of postbop. Moore is mostly joined by guitarist Charlie Hunter and saxophonist Skerik (Tuatara, Critters Buggin') for a groovy studio session that leaves plenty of room for each to shine. Hunter and his eight-string guitar in particular step to the forefront--playing heads and laying a nice melodic veneer over the syncopated rhythms. When it's time to tear the roof off, Moore brings in extra New Orleans-style horns, giving some songs a good-time Dirty Dozen Brass Band feel. Nicely paced, varied, and played, All Kooked Out! is a fine debut by Moore, a gifted musician with a flair for strong, syncopated beats. --Tad Hendrickson

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Super tight instrumental jazz-funk album.......2007-04-18

Already a fan of Galactic, I decided to check out the solo work of Stanton Moore, the band's deservedly-respected drummer, who is a big part of their funky sound. After listening numerous times, I've found Stanton's debut to be less spacey and rock-influenced than Galactic's music, with more of a jazzy edge in harmony and in song style as well, and more traditional jazz combo instrumentation. What isn't different is Moore's uncanny drumming abilities--his fluid ability to almost speak, or at least use his percussion instruments in a lyrical, melodic way--while at the same time keeping locked in to a thumping, thick funk groove. I like this album better than Flyin' the Koop because it's more organic (it was recorded live and is mostly effects-free), and because I think it demonstrates some great improvisation and a fresh-feeling sound.

"Tchfunkta," the album's opener, is one of my faves, with a playful opening riff and some wicked sax playing. Skerik is a great collaborator with Moore--bringing lithe chops and a generally more jazzy sound than Ben Ellman of Galactic (who also guests on a few songs here), not to mention a great sense of humor--just listen to his sax/vocal solo on Monk's "Green Chimneys." Charlie Hunter brings his 8-string guitar on many of the album's cuts, which is both good and not so good. He's a great guitarist--it's so cool how his style puts bass and lead guitar in one, with an understated accompanying style, but the ability to take off on some inspired solos as well. However, his style and effect-laden sound is so distinctive that it kind of makes the songs sound more like Charlie Hunter songs, rather than Stanton Moore songs, whose name is on the album; a minor quibble. Elsewhere, NOLA guitarist Brian Seeger participates, adding a more traditional guitar sound, and even a somewhat of rock edge to "Stanton Hits the Bottle."

At its heart, though, this is an album about Moore, whose drumming never ceases to be restless, tight, and a fascinating listen. If you pay attention, you can really see just how much thought goes into his playing, and what a special musician he is. Sometimes, though, if you don't concentrate, it can sound a bit more like standard funky jazz that doesn't stand out too much.

Overall, I think the interplay between the album's musicians and Moore is more than worth the price of admission. Except for a few less amazing tracks, the songs are strong choices and the playing is loose but impeccable. Recommended to fans of funk and Galactic who aren't afraid of more of a jazz influence, and, conversely, to fans of jazz who dig a funky groove.

4 out of 5 stars Great first record.......2006-12-10

Stanton Moore pulled together regular pals Charlie Hunter and Skerik for most of the songs on All Kooked Out. Some songs have additional horn players, and two have neither Charlie Hunter nor Skerik. This is a fairly consistantly funky jaunt through the Stanton Moore/Skerik/Robert Walter/Charlie Hunter style. "Green Chimneys" is a slight disappointment, and the last three songs seem stuck on the end. Highlights includes the opener, "Kooks on Parade", "Blues For Ben" (with mile-wide swinging horns), "Nalgas" (which is one way of saying rear end in Spanish), and "Stanton Hits The Bottle" (silly but fun). If you like anything in the funk/jazzy/jam band minigenre, you'll like this CD.

4 out of 5 stars An implaccably tight jazz-funk unit .......2006-04-29

If you're looking to hear a slick, sophisticated, funky drummer, well, you're there! Under the mastery of Stanton Moore's drumsticks, the group is an implaccably tight unit pushing forward all the time. With Charlie Hunter (guitar), Sherik and Brent Rose (saxophones), this is a delightful swinging stylish jazz-funk record.
It's funny, but throughout the record it feels like these musicians are all the time just about to fly away on a funky musical orgy. They never really do fly, but they're certainly almost there! All the time. I'm sure they would fly if they really meant to...

5 out of 5 stars Poetry in motion.......2006-04-18

I agree with everything said so far. This CD has been in constant weekly rotation for the past four years. These guys really have it together on this one. To be able to make those perfect combinations that produce magic on impact is a wonderful thing. These songs move forward as a whole. Every player shares the spotlight and syncs into the song to make it a living thing. If any of that made sense to you you'll love this album.

I've been a Charlie Hunter fan for quite awhile now and I've since become quite a fan of Skerik's wacked out horn.

Green Chimney's is my personal favorite. It's a great take on a Monk classic. A chill still goes up my spine when Skerik hits some of the notes after the intro.

5 out of 5 stars Moore and Skerik, what else is there to say?.......2005-05-25

Stanton Moore, regular drummer for "Galactic", and "Garage a Trois" put this little triumph together live in New Orleans in 1998; along with Saxophonic master Skerik, and 8 string, funk guitar, trail blazer Charlie Hunter. "All Kooked out" is a joy ride through those dimensions of fanatical, categorization known to individual hipsters as funk, New Orleans, Seattle, or Acid Jazz. For me, this album is the staple sound of the type of groove in contemporary jazz that I like to sink my teeth into. Hip hop fused with Latin drum beats, tenor and baritone sax odysseys, coupled with soprano solos, trumpet, trombone, and even a tuba makes this album kick up dust on its own. It's the Filet Mignon of what you can expect to hear in clubs along the West Coast on down to the Gulf. There's even a funked out rendition of Thelonius Monk's "Green Chimneys".

I don't often give out five stars, but this album succeeds where other's don't. In the year that I have owned "All Kooked Out", I still listen to it with as much enjoyment and anticipation as a new C.D. simply because it has not lost it's creative edge, and is no where close to dying either.

Regretfully, I'll have to forewarn you that his follow up album "Flying the Koop" is more on the experimental side and less on the knock you up'side the head feel. If you are not familiar with this genre of Jazz, and have not heard Skerik tear it up yet then "All Kooked Out" is definitely your ticket.

    Amazon.com essential recording

    In the years before rock (and even for a few years after), the album charts were full of original Broadway cast LPs and soundtracks of the film versions of those Broadway musicals. And the soundtrack to 1955's Oklahoma! was one of the biggest--hitting No. 1 for a month that year--and becoming part of the consciousness of darn near every Baby Boomer whose folks owned a record player over the next five or so years. Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones (in her film debut) were so good together, they repeated the formula (well, after Frank Sinatra dropped out) in the following year's film version of another Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, Carousel. Every song here--from "Oh! What a Beautiful Morning " to the closing title track--is a gem, and whether it's "People Will Say We're in Love" or "The Farmer and the Cowman," these are the most familiar--and definitive--versions. You even get the rousing overture. --Bill Holdship

    I think it's a very touching Romantic Music. The songs want you to get up and dance. Even though I'm 9 and a half I still know that it has wonderful Music. If you like this music you will like other Rodgers and Hammerstiens Music such as Carousal,King and I and Sound of Music. Thank you for reading my review and bye.

    5 out of 5 stars OKLAHOMA! st is a classic corner stone to every collection!.......1999-07-04

    OKLAHOMA! was on best selling lists for years. It seems that everyone who grew up with LPs during 50s and 60s had a copy. It is the best recorded version of the show. JONES, McGRAE and the rest were all great. As is the full bodied Oscar winning scoring by Jay Blackton (although one wonders what someone like Alfred Newman would have done with this score). One of the earliest 12 inch stereo Lps unfortunatly has its downside. Because of space limitations some songs are edited. Other selections (reprises, finale, etc)are excluded all together. It would be wonderful if the original tracks could be recovered and a new expanded release be prepared. It would easily fill a 70 minute cd.

    4 out of 5 stars Wish there was more music from the film.......1999-05-29

    Oklahoma! as a film was quite entertaining, but the record could include only small portions of some songs, such as Kansas City and Out of my Dreams. As presented in the film these numbers were great.

    Cy Coleman and David Zippel's City of Angels is a seductive depiction of 1940s Los Angeles, capturing swinging jazz, torchy ballads, witty lyrics, and even a Manhattan Transfer-like Greek chorus (arranged by ManTran guru Yaron Gershovsky). James Naughton and Gregg Edelman star as Stone and Stine, respectively a tough Raymond Chandleresque PI and the writer who dreams up his adventures. Randy Graff plays Stone's long-suffering secretary and Dee Hoty the requisite femme fatale. Loads of atmosphere and tasty songs such as "What You Don't Know About Women," "With Every Breath I Take," "You're Nothing Without Me," and "You Can Always Count on Me" make City of Angels a modern classic. It won 1990 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Leading Actor (Naughton), Featured Actress (Graff), Best Book (Larry Gelbart), and Best Original Score. --David Horiuchi

    3 out of 5 stars Fun Show, Average Score.......2007-02-21

    Fun show, ingenuos concept, so-so score, with one exception. The ballad With Every Breath I Take is brilliant. One of Coleman's best pieces.

    5 out of 5 stars Cleverness personified.......2006-10-16

    A duet between an author and the character he created, each claiming "you're nothing without me," is just one example of how sharp, witty and clever show is, with an unusual score, jazzy and bluesy and very 1940s, and some of the best lyrics I know.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Jazz Musical That's FUN!!!.......2006-04-14

    City of Angels is an incredibly fun, classy, and jazzy musical that delivers. Stellar vocal performances are provided by the entire cast, particularly the female end. The fact that Randy Graff was the only female from this cast nominated at the Tony Awards that year floors me. Kay McClelland and Rachel York deserved nods for their powerful solos, With Every Breath I Take and Lost Found, alone. These two songs are also the type of sultry, jazz solos that one would expect in the 40's, which is why the show works. The music is completely period with when the show takes place, and that's why I love it. The best tracks are:

    3) What You Don't Know About Women
    6) With Every Breath I Take (destined to be a classic)
    9) Lost and Found (wonderful solo)
    10) All You Have To Do Is Wait (FUN! FUN! FUN SONG!!! Hilarious as well)
    11) You're Nothing Without Me
    13) You Can Always Count On Me (Randy Graff's Tony!)

    4 out of 5 stars Great Jazz-Oriented Score.......2005-06-25

    1990 Tony winner for Best Musical, "City Of Angels" contains a great score, filled with jazz-oriented melodies & torch songs. Not all the songs are terrific, but most of the score lends itself to repeat listenings. Best tracks include:

    Double Talk
    What You Don't Know About Women
    With Every Breath I Take [beautiful song!]
    Lost And Found
    You're Nothing Without Me [the show's hit]
    You Can Always Count On Me
    Funny

    Great cast ... great buy!

    5 out of 5 stars I love it!.......2005-02-22

    This is one of my favorite soundtracks ever! Since I'm going to be working on music for the show, I'm happy that this is the case. It has been in my CD player for a few weeks now, and there's enough variety for it not to get old. But having read through the script makes the lyrics infinitely wittier. Musicals are supposed to rely partially on the lyrics and partially on the script. This show does that perfectly. Without the script, the lyrics are (apparently) lacking. But without the lyrics, the script is missing something. When you put the two pieces together, however, it's really easy to see why this show won a Tony.
