Short intro

Her First Roman is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Ervin Drake, based on the 1898 George Bernard Shaw play Caesar and Cleopatra. During its out-of-town tryout, the original director Michael Benthall was fired and succeeded by Derek Goldby, and the original choreographer was fired and replaced. Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick were brought in to write new songs and wrote Ptolemy, Kind Old Gentleman, and Caesar is Wrong. Goldby cut a lot of Drake's score and replaced whole sections of. This studio cast album, recorded 25 years later and featuring the original stars, Richard Kiley and Leslie Uggams, constitutes both a restoration and a revision of the score. Her First Roman was drastically altered prior to its Broadway opening, with much of Drake's music dropped and three new songs contributed by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick. This time, the lost Drake material-a full six songs-has been restored, and the Bock-Harnick songs left out. Drake has also rewritten some of the songs. Pleasure Him - Leslie Uggams. Her First Roman - Chorus. Magic Carpet - Leslie Uggams. Rome - Mark Miller. The Dangerous Age - Ron Raines. The Things We Think We Are - Ron Raines. Her First Roman: Reprise - Ron Raines. Richard Kiley and Leslie Uggams reprise their leading roles from the original production. Kiley's brillance as an actor shines through in this recording, he captures perfectly every note of Caesar as the proverbial lion in winter who discovers he still has a few passionate roars left in him. Unfortunately, his singing voice, never the best, is virtually gone, and he half-sings, half-ruminates his way through his numbers, in Rex Harrison style. Her First Roman. Just better. The opening night cast was Richard Kiley Julius Caesar, Leslie Uggams Cleopatra, Cal Bellini Apollodorus, Jack Dabdoub Roman Centurion, Larry Douglas Achillas, Philip Graves Ptolemy, Bruce MacKay Rufio, Claudia McNeil Ftatateeta, Earl Montgomery Pothinus, and Brooks Morton Britannus, The ensemble included Suzanne Rogers .
