Company

Librettist Peter Stone (1776, Sugar, Will Rogers Follies) says that he and composer/lyricist Maury Yeston (Grand Hotel, Nine, Phantom) discovered that they were both interested in the story of the Titanic while they were working on Grand Hotel.

This CD is largely an attempt to milk more cash from the Titanic cow, but there a few worthwhile cuts on it nevertheless.

The Night of the Disaster

The Unsinkable Molly Brown has music and lyrics by Meredith Willson (The Music Man, Here's Love, 1491), based on the true story of Molly Tobin who married miner "Leadville" Johnny Brown, became fabulously wealthy and, returning from Europe on the Titanic, not only survived but helped save many others from drowning. Hence the title of the musical, which follows the outline of Brown's life with the usual fictional embellishments.
