Music:

HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD (MUSIC REVIEW)This clever musical is based on the Greek comedy Lysistrata using the music of Jacques Offenbach. The late Cyril Ritchard directed and co-starred with Janice Rule in the Broadway musical that, sadly, had a short run. The story line, briefly, concerns the wives and lovers in ancient Greece who were tired of their men constantly going off to war. The women decide to cut off all conjugal relations until the men promise to pay more attention to their companions. The gods, of course, get involved and there is much merriment as Ritchard romps and sings Gilbert & Sullivan-like lyrics thoughout. A very enjoyable CD; maybe some enterprising theater company will revive this musical.1. Overture/The Glory That is Greece Listen Listen 2. The Happiest Girl In The World Listen Listen 3.
