MUSICALS FROM THE ATTIC.

MINNIE'S BOYS.....starring Shelley Winters.
tracks played...Five growing boys / Rich is / You don't have to do
it for me / Minnie's Boys / Be happy.

Check the internet to see if this very catchy tuneful show has
been released. Shelly Winters is no great singer but she can certainly
sell a song as she does on this soundtrack. In the wake of GYPSY
the familiarity of story proberbly played against this show doing
well on Broadway but it is an entertaining listen.****.

THE FANTASTICS.   Jerry Orbach.
