Brilliant!!

My goodness. The glories we missed not having her on the cast recording. We're lucky at least to have keepsakes like this.

She had a RollRoyce voice

when is it I what see it

Rest in peace, dear Mimi. Such a great voice and a terrific comedienne.

“I’m an ordinary womannnn with feelings” my favorite part

Thank you! They cut this song for the London premiere of "She Loves Me" (not sure why!) so you don't get to hear Rita sing it on the cast album.

Was a great night at the end orchestra rises for Miss Ethel Merman

hope whizzer's well in florida

Best version of this. Debbie could sing, unlike Raquel or Betty Bacall.

I saw this with the three incarnations on Broadway (Lauren, Raquel and Debbie) and, in my opinion the best was the original. My reasoning is that Lauren Bacall understood how to feed the lines so that the comedian (Marilyn) got the bulk of the laughs. Raquel just seemed to sing the notes and Debbie (inadvertently) tried to be on a par with Marilyn. I think the same is happening here as did with Raquel - Barbara doesn't feed the lines properly in the song PLUS the difference in octaves is jarring. I have LOVED this duet from the moment I heard (saw) it but I do have to say, in my humble opinion, that the magic between Lauren and Marilyn was never recaptured

I have listened to Jill O’Hara, Betty Buckley and Kristen Chenoweth sing this song. All are phenomenal! But if you ask me to pick one Jill wins - her performance is so real.

Today, she probably wouldn't be replaced. Times have changed, musicals have more flexibility in the demands. This is a charming performance by a young character actor, and the song is delivered with the character's distinctive colloquial voice. But the show had opera singers as its narrator-esque frame, and the powers that be, including the composer, probably wanted this late number to land with musical brio. The number became a showstopper with Bartlett, and we certainly don't wish to retroactively deny her the moment (I saw her, wonderful.) But it's sad, because you hear a talented young woman here anyway.

Sheila Smith! A true queen of the stage! She did everything from Mame to Follies to Sugar. And that just to name a few.

I saw Martha Raye's Dolly, at the St. James, a Saturday matinee. She was great fun and NO ONE ever sang the role as powerfully. I may be wrong, but it seemed to me they picked up some of the tempos for her?

not a great key tbh :(

The song has been included in Dominic Cooke’s wonderful West End production with Imelda Staunton which closes at the London Palladium this Saturday.

Johnny Desmond loathed working with Mimi Hines. They had a very public outburst on stage towards the end of the run of the show. He famously said he would have knocked her in her teeth but it would have spoiled her only talent.

Extraordinary to come across this almost 35 years later.

What the hell were they thinking with the design of that program cover?

By any chance, could you tell me where you found this and if there’s any of the other songs?

Too bad this wasn’t on the cast album. The singing, especially on the first part is beautiful.

Absolutely loved Dora Bryan this Charlie girl and 70 girls 70 all fantastic shows

Jill O'Hara was so underrated. Always a bit of mystery about her as well. Her voice had that vulnerability but she kept slamming it out there and winning the world with it!

This scene was amazing. Conveyor belts were used moving the cast going in opposite directions. Settings took you around town. It wzs magical. Great song.

Wow this sounds like it was recorded live. I love

Miss Welch was in this and had to leave because she became pregnant. Unfortunatly she lost the baby. They got Debbie Reynolds at the last minute. No time to rehearse Miss Reynolds did appear in the show but collapse either on stage or backstage and they ended the show.

Burt Bacharach gave us a musical masterpiece, that in fact paved the road for Company. I love Stephan’s show especially the OBC, but cmon! London won’t even bring it back. The London Philharmonic gave respect with recording the Overture and title song. I wish they would just put on the tire production. Like the New York Philharmonic did for Company.

This show has a wonderful score, including the exquisite "Why Did I Choose You?"

Freaking fast!

Poignant, not the least so because this was her last Broadway role. When this was recorded, she had been thrilling Broadway audiences since 1930, for forty years. And whatever time's depredations, she still lands with a Mermanesque bang on that final note. Still thrilling!

I wonder why they never recorded the album with Laura.

I had never heard this song until today since it was not in the movie. Ethel Merman's enchanting voice is so stirring, and her soliloquy with her dead husband is so believable the way that persons later in life might think about needing some new thrill in their life!

Lotta different lyrics in this. Is it at the Goodspeed? (“Better than Bromo - you snap, you fizz”?!?!) never heard that before!

First B'way show to have a mixing board in the back of the house, thanks to Mr. Bacharach. Drums baffled for the first time, thanks to Mr. Bacharach. Just good clean sound, not over-the-top, and nothing today sounds this good. I used to stand outside the Shubert on matinee days just to hear the overture. I also saw the show five times, three during its intiial three weeks.

We are lucky to have four of the songs merman sang in PANAMA HATTIE recorded by Decca. But how great would it have been if they had already begun the tradition of recording complete shows. This song is a gem! It’s neat th at merman sang a bit of this in the Steve and Eydie Cole Porter special.

oh wow this a surprise.. I was at this production as a very eager 11 year old! She was sensational! As was the production.

Gorgeous voice.

Seems like there is no evidence or trace of this original audience recording I can find in its entirety. Do you have the full recording or is this literally all there is, bar the cut song on Disney Ashman Demos?

Omg I can’t believe this ver has Mary Testa in it!!

What an incredible song! Is the sheet music available somewhere?

I loved this show. I have looked for a recording of it for years. Any possibility you could share more of this wonderful show?

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been wanting to hear Celia’s rendition of this song and wow, it’s ethereal! 💖

wow what a relic

Ann Miller always received rave reviews. There was a brilliant tap number created just for her!!!
