Editorial Reviews

Hello Dolly isn’t purely a vehicle for Carol Channing, but this superb performer nonetheless steals the show. Channing has plenty of assistance from a brilliant cast that includes Charles Nelson Reilly and Eileen Brennan, but her star turn as matchmaker Dolly is what one remembers. Channing’s inimitable renditions of composer Jerry Herman’s “Before the Parade Passes By,” “Put On Your Sunday Clothes,” and “So Long Dearie” are up their with the most indelible of Broadway moments. The mirth and wit that won Channing a 1964 Tony Award is channeled through this fundamental cast recording. William Pearl, Barnes & Noble

Great Showby Clergydancer

April 09, 2009: This is one of the great Broadway hits. Producer David Merrick didn't want Jerry Herman to write the music, but he did. They wrote it with Ethel Merman in mind, but she rejected it without even reading it. They asked Harold Prince to directed it, but among other things, he thought the "Hello, Dolly" song was dreadful and should be cut from the show, so he rejected the script. They turned it over to Gower Champion, it opened on Broadway, and became one of the greatest successes in history. Even after 44 years, the show comes blazing into the ear, Carol Chaning's gravelly, aggressive voice and all, and charms "the husks right off of the corn," to quote another Herman hit. The album notes are very informative and the arrangements sound as fresh as ever. One might hope for some additional tracks -- like versions of the songs that were cut, as the "Fiddler on the Roof" CD does, but who's to quibble? Dolly, "it's so nice to have you back where you belong," right here on my CD shelf.
