This is one of my favorite musicals and not just because I like the way Barbra sings. The premise of the musical, that Daisy Gamble, the female lead, is a reincarnated version of Melinda Twelvetrees, a psychic who died after being betrayed by her husband, is different from any musical I've seen. The songs, especially the title song, are wonderful;I find myself humming them for days after watching. And the costumes are fantastic! I especially like Daisy Gamble's wardrobe because it reminds me of the styles I wore during the late 60s or early 70s. And the headdress Barbra Streisand wears as Melinda makes her look gorgeous, like the bust of Nephrititi. I can hardly wait 'til this musical comes out on DVD.
Besides having a wonderful score written by Harry Nilson, including the song "Me and My Arrow" which was used in a car commercial, it had a great story and unique cartoons - very different for its day. I had seen it when it first came out with Dustin Hoffman as the father's voice, but the next time I saw it, Alan Thicke did the voice and I wondered if I had been mistaken. It is gratifying to know that I wasn't. I've never heard it with Ringo Starr in that part, but I think it would be interesting.
