Description
|
|
|
|
Ethel Merman had a larger-than-life persona that was ideal for Broadway, and boy did she knock 'em dead, with an unequaled parade of hits as leading lady. Based on the life of Washington hostess and ambassador to Luxembourg Pearl Mesta, Madam was Irving Berlin's final hit Broadway musical and his second collaboration with Merman, who had starred in Annie Get Your Gun. Highlights include "The Hostess With the Mostes' on the Ball," "The Best Thing for You," and her delightful duet with Dick Haymes, "You're Just in Love." "Merman, one of the most distinctive female singers of the 20th century … sang with a natural power and sheen…. This neglected icon [was] the leading Broadway musical comedy performer of her day and a singer of timeless gifts."—NYTimes
