A famous "flop show" (only 17 performances), "Her First Roman" was the most anticipated new musical of 1968. Adapted and musicalized from G.B.Shaw's play "Caesar and Cleopatra" by ERVIN DRAKE ("What Makes Sammy Run?") and starring two of the biggest stars on Broadway: RICHARD KILEY (direct from starring in "Man Of La Mancha") and LESLIE UGGAMS (fresh from her triumph in "Hallelujah, Baby"), this big and brassy and expensive musical was a big disappointment to everyone. Mr. Drake's score was blamed ... but fans in the audience secretly taped the show, and these bootleg tapes proved the music was terrific, as were the stars.

For a glorious week in 1993, we all gathered in New York and relived the magic of 1960's Broadway. Subsequent to this recording, a new production of "Her First Roman" has been done and the vocal score to the show has been published ... with our album cover as its cover! The CD has been unavailable to the public since its first release.
DUCY LEE RECORDINGS is very proud to add this sparkling show (and a true labor
of love!) to its catalog.
