This is an excerpt of a review by Kate Bassett of The Independent,
and refers to the 2005 London Production.
"You might be able to rock the boat but you can't sink this
baby. Frank Loesser's great musical from 1950 is hilarious
and lovable in its depiction of Broadway low-lifers - the
scurrying gamblers, the eternally affianced showgirl with
a psychosomatic cold, and the Sally Army sergeant letting
her hair down. Almost every number is a corker, from the
harmonious floating romance of "I'll Know" to the screwball
medical patter of "Adelaide's Lament" (the ditty about streptococci).
Swerling and Burrows' co-scripted dialogue is ebulliently
witty too."
