Liner Notes
Cat. No. 80386
Release Date: 1990-01-01
Members of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Evans Haile; Judy Kaye, Judy Blazer, Gregg Edelman, Jason Graae, Donna Kane, Adam Grupper, JQ and the Bandits
This is the first recording of the original score from one of Broadway's gems. “My Funny Valentine”, “The Lady Is A Tramp”, “Johnny One Note”, and “I Wish I Were In Love Again” all came from this show (when was the last time you saw a Broadway show with four hit tunes!), an affectionate and mildly satiric look at a fictional town's adolescent population, abandoned by their parents, who are forced to fend for themselves. More than financial and amorous matters concerned them: These kids wrestled with philosophical, political, and moral issues, sang love duets about psychic phenomena and fought over principles. (Forget about the MGM movie with JUDY and Mickey; the plot was re-written and all but two of the songs were dropped!)
“How luxurious to have one of the most luscious of Rodgers and Hart scores in its near-entirety, with original or near-original orchestrations… this Babes in Arms is a happy delivery, especially with the original sheet music design wrapped tenderly around it.” — Opera News
