I just purchased this musical after reading about it and hearing about it for many years. I thoroughly enjoyed and am so happy I made the purchase. I have always been a fan of musicals and esp. love the musicals of the 30's. This first "All Talking! All Singing! All Dancing!" musical does not disappoint. It ranks right up there with the best of them. So many of the songs are memorable and stay with you long after the credits have gone. To me that is a mark of a wonderful musical. When you leave the experience and the songs are still in your mind and stay with you, you know you have experienced something great. Besides the music the performances are great esp. Bessie Love as Hank, the older sister. She should have had a bigger career.
