A neighbor lady took me to see this when I was still in grammar school. My first Broadway show. It could have been a memorable evening for that event alone, but I remember being overwhelmed by the colorful costumes and sets. And, when it comes to seeing a legendary performer, very few can match Lena Horne. She was wonderful. The music and lyrics are still excellent after all of these years. I have an old LP of the original cast recording and added the CD version as soon as it was released. This recording is a theatrical treasure trove of B'way in it's heyday.
