ON THE RECORD: Operettas from Herbert and Romberg
Take heart, operetta fans, of whom there are apparently still quite a number (and I'm not one of them). Decca Records — back in the days when they almost single-handedly created the field of Broadway original cast albums and topped the Broadway charts with titles like Oklahoma! and Carousel and Annie Get Your Gun and The King and I — saw fit to embark on a series of studio recordings of famous old operettas. Decca Broadway is transferring eight of these relatively brief recordings onto four CDs (released individually). These are indispensable for operetta fans, I suppose, as most of these songs are unavailable elsewhere. For non operetta fans like myself, they are — well, operetta. Not without interest, but operetta.

ON THE RECORD: Romberg and Beatniks from DRG
THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS DRG 19019
I've never been able to muster much excitement for the work of Sigmund Romberg (1887-1951). The Hungarian-born composer came to America in 1909, getting a job as house composer for the Shubert brothers. He turned out hackwork by the yard for the Passing Show series and other Shubert revues. (These included four shows in which Al Jolson established himself as the era's number one star, although the famous song-hits were interpolated by other composers.)

Ken Mandelbaum's AISLE VIEW: The Musical Road To Broadway
There was a time when, almost without exception, musicals opened on Broadway following tryout runs in such cities as Boston, Philadelphia, and New Haven; some shows played just one tryout town, while others hit two or three. In the '50s and early '60s, musicals would arrive in New York after these road runs and play just a couple of previews (usually pre-sold to theatre parties and not advertised to the general public) before the opening night, which was the performance attended by all major critics.
