It's Danny Kaye playing Noeh -- how GREAT IS THAT -- beautiful music
A rare work flawed in the performance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
While I had heard the title, I had little knowledge of the work until there was a rumor that my favorite rep company might perform it. Since there seems to be a surge of Rodgers works, South Pacific at Stratford ON and perhaps at the West End next year, I the CD to become familar with the music. It realy is a fine rarely heard work. Moreover, the accompanying booklet gives the history of events, Danny Kaye's injury, recovery and subsequent abandonment of the script that brought the performances to the end. It is well worth hearing the music, but it would take a strong lead to perform.

Great music and story. Appropiate for all ages. Fun to sing along with and fun to act out. Brings new understanding to the Noah's Ark story.
... Not Well Known, BUT WORTH THE BUY!

Take it from me, a high school senior who actually performed in this musical last year as HAM, you are truly missing out if you do not have this CD and call yourself either a Kaye fan or a Broadway fan. This CD will warm your heart with laughter and show you why Rodgers and Hammerstein (or at least one of them... :)) WAS AT THE PEAK WHEN WRITING TWO BY TWO! Order it today!
Fabulous!

An often overlooked musical--but it has great melodies and great lyrics. It's a shame that it's not revived more often. Danny Kaye shines.
