I had the original cast recording of the 1954 musical, and the music and romantic flavor of the show was delightful.<br />The cast and the songs were joyful.<br />Ezio Pinza was magnificent! Wish I could have been there to see this current production. Thanks for writing such a detailed report. What a marvelous review.

Now that I'm well versed with both, I'd like to see the original Pagnol trilogy.

I knew nothing about the show before seeing it at Encores, and I loved the story and score. I completely agree with you about Applegate being the heart and soul of the piece and I too was very pleasantly surprised by Snyder. Here's hoping someone responds to your plea for a recording.
