Arguably the greatest of Broadway's leading ladies, Verdon shines in this original cast album of the beloved and bittersweet SWEET CHARITY. One of the magical qualities of this particular musical is its ability to tell the story of the down-on-her-luck but ever optimistic taxi dance through the music. And Verdon is the consummate storyteller! You can almost see her while you listen to the music... Thank goodness this was recorded for posterity, because it is leaps and bounds (literally!) beyond the dismal Shirley MacLaine film version. A treasure!
