SONG-WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A MAN About The Boys from Syracuse: The Comedy of Errors, joyfully concocted by Shakespeare about a pair of identical twins from Syracuse and Ephesus, became the basis for a romp set to music in 1938 by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Retitled The Boys From Syracuse, it boasted a hilarious nonsensical book by George Abbott, and a breezy score replete with great tunes. Because the practice of recording cast albums didn’t exist at the time, Columbia producer Goddard Lieberson sought to recreate the best moments from the show in a studio recording made in 1956. In the dual role of Antipholus and his twin, he cast matinee idol Jack Cassidy, and surrounded him with performers of the first magnitude – Portia Nelson, Bibi Osterwald (also in a dual role), Bob Shaver, and Stanley Prager (in another dual role as the two Antipholus’ servants, both named Dromio). Conductor Lehman Engel, a veteran of Broadway orchestra pits, provided the final touch that gave new life to what might have been otherwise a lost gem. I DON'T OWN RIGHTS..
