    Sure, the new recording with Matthew Broderick has jazzy orchestrations and more numbers, but the original with Robert Morse, Bonnie Scott and Rudy Vallee is still the way to go.

    Less experienced listeners may have their heads turned by big orchestration changes and recognizable movie star names on the marquee, but the original recording boasts Tony winners Robert Morse and Charles Nelson Reilly (a riot!). Then there’s Bonnie Scott, whose portrayal of Rosemary has a more appealing sound than that of the revival. Plus, for all the extra numbers included in the 1995 recording, they cut the original Act 2 opener, “Cinderella Darling.”

    The bottom line? This original recording is truer to the creators’ intent and more in keeping with the integrity of Frank Loesser’s (my favorite “golden age” Broadway composer) fabulous score. Broderick is good (also a Tony winner!), but Morse and company give the definitive performances. I mean please, would you buy a “Hello, Dolly!” without Carol Channing? I didn’t think so. It’s much the same with Morse, Reilly, Scott and Vallee. Stick with the original.
