Wodehouse) whose Held-girl-slim plots, witty rhymes and gorgeous scores created the form of the Broadway musical comedy. John McGlinn's meticulous orchestrations, and showstopping turns by Judy Kaye, Jane Connell and Paige O'Hara, restored these wonderful old shows to life, not as quaint artifacts but as living examples of a musical theater...
