Will Rogers Follies, The  - #258

Original Broadway Cast

1991 Columbia 6/20/91

Mac Davis with my sister Sherri.  It was fun, a good story, good production and fun music.  " Never Met a Man I Didn't Like" captures Will Rogers.  Broadway does it well sometimes.  Seen it twice with Helton, once with Mom and once with Sherri..  The original cast included John Carradine, the lead male vocal here, but we say it with Mac and another excellent lead who skips me during this review.
