First time on CD for this 1952 show that featured the legendary Bette Davis.
Two’s Company was probably the most anticipated Broadway show of 1952. The reason was simple; the star was the one and only Bette Davis! For 90 performances Miss Davis packed them in and entertained as best as she could until she got ill and without it’s “star attraction” Two’s Company was forced to close.
However this curiosity of a show was recorded and now appears on CD for the first time. Although Miss Davis gave it her best shot she was never a singer and songs that required trained singing voices were given to the supporting cast who do an excellent job. There are some good songs and the show achieved one Tony award, that for Hiram Sherman as outstanding supporting musical actor.
We have re-mastered the recording and most of the bonus tracks are performed by the composer of Two’s Company, Vernon Duke, whose better known songs April in Paris and Autumn in New York, are both included here.
