1966 Television Soundtrack Recording
A rare soundtrack is arriving on CD-R and DD from Masterworks Broadway. The team of Elsie Simmons and Mark "Moose" Charlap (Peter Pan) scored NBC's television adaptation of Alice Through the Looking Glass which featured a starry cast including Agnes Moorehead (Bewitched), Ricardo Montalban (Fantasy Island), Robert Coote (My Fair Lady), Nanette Fabray, Jack Palance, Jimmy Durante and even The Smothers Brothers - as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum! This loose adaptation of the Lewis Carroll story, featuring Judi Rolin as Alice, first brought its blend of music and whimsy to television on November 6, 1966. The great Don Costa arranged the Simmons/Charlap songs!
