Such an exciting number. And I love the sound of that chorus (shout out to vocal arranger Saul Schechtman!)
“Mira” from CARNIVAL
music and lyric by Bob Merrill
performed by Anna Maria Alberghetti

I feel like we always live under threat of a CARNIVAL revival, though I’m not sure the material is strong enough for one to truly succeed. All the music for Alberghetti is lovely, but poor Jerry Orbach is stuck with a series of formless, recit-like ballads with almost no accompaniment support.
This is slowly turning into a Bob Merrill appreciation blog. DEAL WITH IT.
