I am a Sondheim fanatic. Having said that, I will now go on to say that "Marry Me a Little" is one of the worst Sondheim recordings I have ever heard. The synopsis to the CD said that Sondheim was reluctant to put on a revue that contained songs cut from other shows. If only he had trusted his instincts in this case! Musically the songs are underorchestrated and the lyrics are gloomy. "Happily Ever After" contains many lyrics that are later included in "Being Alive;" yet while "Being Alive" celebrates marriage, both the good and the bad, "Happily Ever After" is just downright nasty. "Bang" and "Marry Me a Little" are used more effectively in "Putting it Together." "Pour le Sport" is affected and stilted. I looked at the date of the CD and saw that it was recorded only a month before "Merriy We Roll Along" which I consider to be one of the finest Sondheim recordings available. Every artist has works which are not up to standard; the "Marry Me a Little" CD should be dismissed as one of those.
