Dames At Sea / I'm A Fan
Added on Thursday, May 10, 2018
Dames At Sea, after a small Off-Off-Broadway production, opened Off-Broadway at the Bouwerie on December 20, 1968 and was so successful that just a few months later it moved to the larger Theatre de Lys. Audiences and critics fell in love with Bernadette Peters and loved the little pastiche of a show. In 1971, a television adaptation was done, becoming an all-star TV event spectacular on the Bell System Family Theatre on NBC.

Dames At Sea, after a small Off-Off-Broadway production, opened Off-Broadway at the Bouwerie on December 20, 1968 and was so successful that just a few months later it moved to the larger Theatre de Lys. Audiences and critics fell in love with Bernadette Peters and loved the little pastiche of a show. In 1971, a television adaptation was done, becoming an all-star TV event spectacular on the Bell System Family Theatre on NBC. Airing on November 15, 1971 the cast featured Ann-Margret, Ann Miller, Anne Meara, Harvey Evans, Fred Gwynne, and Dick Shawn. They also added a full chorus of dancers doing full production numbers, thereby turning the TV version into the type of thing the show was spoofing. The TV version was produced by Joseph Cates and Martin Charnin, directed by Walter Miller and Charnin, and choreographed by Alan Johnson. Elliot Lawrence handled the musical direction and bigger arrangements.
The cast delivers delightful and fun performances. Ann-Margret is bubbly, Harvey Evans is charming, Ann Miller taps those feet like nobody’s business, and Fred Gwynne and Dick Shawn are clearly having a grand old time. The bigger band sounds great and as these TV versions of musicals go, especially those cut down to one hour, it’s a whole lot of fun.
This is the first CD release of the TV soundtrack, issued only heretofore as a promotional LP in mono. We had a mono tape of it, which is what was used for this CD.
