The Goodbye Girl: Vocal Selections

Rating:
Summary: The Goodbye Girl- Worthy and Yet Relatively Unknown!
Review: This musical is by David Zippel and Marvin Hamlisch, who also collaborated on 'A Chorus Line'. In my opinion, 'The Goodbye Girl' is just as fantastic as 'A Chorus Line'. This book of vocal selections is great, and includes all of the most well- written numbers from the show. Songs are: No More, A Beat Behind, My Rules/Elliot Garfield Grant, Good News, Bad News, Don't Follow In My Footsteps, How Can I Win?, Paula: An Improvised Love Song, I Can Play This Part, What A Guy, and No More (Pop Version). Especially good are A Beat Behind (big group dance number), Don't Follow in My Footsteps (a mother- daughter duet), Paula (love duet), and I Can Play This Part (male solo). Martin Short and Bernadette Peters starred on Broadway...this book is well worth it! The songs will become your favorites!
