Our Take
Our Take
Lost West End Vintage 2: London's Forgotten Musicals 1943-1962 is a delightful romp through the lesser-known gems of the West End stage. The original London cast recordings give us a glimpse into a bygone era of musical theatre, where the songs are as catchy as the costumes are flashy.
From the haunting melodies of "The Dancing Years" to the rousing anthems of "The Lisbon Story," this collection is a treasure trove of hidden gems that deserve to be unearthed and appreciated by a new generation of theatre lovers.
The standout track has to be "A Broken Heart" from the obscure musical "Wild Grows the Heather." With its soaring vocals and heart-wrenching lyrics, it's a forgotten classic that deserves a spot on every Broadway playlist.
But it's not all melancholy ballads and sweeping orchestral arrangements. Tracks like "London Laughs" and "Looking for Trouble" bring a touch of comedy and whimsy to the mix, reminding us that musical theatre can be as fun as it is emotionally resonant.
In today's age of jukebox musicals and reboots, Lost West End Vintage 2 is a breath of fresh air. It reminds us that the history of musical theatre is rich and varied, and that there are countless hidden treasures waiting to be rediscovered. So grab your top hat and tails, and get ready to be transported back in time to the golden age of the West End stage.
