"Take a Good Look Around" from MADAME APHRODITE (1961)

In continuation with the celebrations of the 90th anniversary of Jerry Herman's birth, we present a lesser-known title from an even more obscure Herman musical, Madame Aphrodite. Based on the television play by Tad Mosel, who also provided the book, it tells the story of a conniving cosmetics sales lady, and features this quintessentially Hermanian tune, and even more characteristic message. The original off-Broadway production played at the Orpheum Theatre during December 1961, and starred Nancy Andrews as the titular Madame A. Heard here is a demo recording produced for potential investors, performed by an un-identified singer.
