レビュー (Amazon)
Despite running for only a month Off-Broadway in 2002, this musical was preserved in a studio cast recording five years later. Based on Herman Raucher's coming-of-age memoir about a very special New England summer (which also spawned a 1971 movie that boasted one of Michel Legrand1s most famous themes, THe Summer of '42 is uneven but sports enough grace notes to be deemed encouraging. Working from a book by Hunter Foster (himself a musical-theater actor of note), David Kirshenbaum has come up with a pleasant, if perhaps a little bland score?one wishes his music reflected more the youthful passion felt by the main protagonist, 15-year-old Hermie, for the older Dorothy. Kirshenbaum, like many young composers of his generation, displays a certain Sondheimian bent ("Will That Ever Happen to Me?" "I Think I Like Her") but the best tracks are the ones that incorporate period touches, most notably in the lovely Andrews Sisters--like harmonies of Celia Keenan-Bolger, Danielle Ferland and Megan Valerie Walker (check out their winning, swinging "You're Gonna Miss Me," "Man Around the House," and "Oh Gee, I Love My G.I."). As Dorothy, the wonderful Rachel York gets three ballads that may well find their way in many cabaret set lists in years to come--Alice Ripley already did the belting showcase "Losing Track of Time" (a bonus track) on Unsuspecting Hearts. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
