Miss Spectacular
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miss Spectacular is an unproduced musical with words and music by Jerry Herman and additional lyrics by Steve Lawrence and Michael Feinstein.
Its plot focuses on a girl from the Midwest who heads to Las Vegas in search of fame and fortune as a chorus girl. Herman was commissioned to write it by a major Vegas hotel, which planned to install it in its theater for a long-term engagement, but when the property was sold the new owners had no interest in the project.
Undaunted, Herman gathered together a cast of talented Broadway performers, including Lawrence, Feinstein, Faith Prince, Christine Baranski, Debbie Gravitte, and Karen Morrow, and a full orchestra to record a concept album that was released on the DRG label in 2002. His score is reminiscent of such early work as Hello, Dolly! and Mame, resplendent with old-fashioned, hummable tunes.
