Do Re Mi

Dated, Cliched, Banal, Disappointing, Insipid

See it if You want to complete your knowledge of Styne's/Comden's/Green's oeuvre, or have the patience of a saint.

Don't see it if You have seen musicals in the past few decades, since they will all make this look like a pale imitation, even if this was original in 1960

See it if You want to see a staged concert of a rarely seen semi-semi-classic musical from the 60's full of fun tunes & just want to have some fun.

Don't see it if you're expecting a full orchestra & super-professional fully staged show.

Don't see it if you're looking for deep drama

"It contains one timeless ballad, two somewhat amusing girl group songs, one successful tongue-in-cheek number, and one comic soliloquy. Otherwise the material is tuneless and verbose. The game company does manage to deliver some entertainment, however...Patrick John Moran deserves better materia...

"'Do Re Mi' has never been a favorite title of mine, but its exuberant, lively rendering at Mel Miller’s Musicals Tonight! helps explain why so many musical theater fans cherish it. It’s a solid, satirical mid-century, second-drawer title, nimbly spoofing the then-current jukebox payola scandals....
