"BARNUM" ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS.FEBRUARY 14TH 2016.

BARNUM....COLUMBIA BROADWAY MASTERWORKS....Jim Dale, Glenn Close.

Tracks played.....
Overture chase / There is a sucker born every minute / Thank God I'm old / One brick at a time / Museum song / Bigger isn't better / Out there / Come follow the band / The colours of my life / Join the circus / The final event

A very jolly stage soundtrack.It makes you want to sing along and dance. A circussy sound that      the orchestra obviously enjoys itself along with the listener. I would never regard this as high quality music but in it's concept it is more than adequate. Is it likely to be revived ? I doubt it. But then I said that about "Cats".
