Book Review: The Sound of Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
One of my first childhood memories is listening to my mother's recording of the original Broadway cast recording of The Sound of Music with Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel. I was excited to order this book promising a first hand account of the creation of this production. So sorry to say, but what a sorry excuse for a book. First of all this book was written by a man who confessed to hating the original production. The information is basic at best and in some instances downwright hilariously wrong. Midgets as the Trapp family children in the original London production- balderdash! The author lovingly reprints dozens of negative reviews and takes every opportunity to malign this beloved show. So lots of people hate The Sound of Music. Whatever. Couldn't a supposedly scholarly history be written by someone who actually loves it? There are a few of us around. The book can't quite decide if it is about the original Broadway production or the transition of movie to film- for a better (and better written) account of this read A Fine Romance by Darcie Denkert. DON'T BOTHER!
