The
story
of
adolescent
love,
Booth
Tarkington’s
Seventeen
first
appeared
as
a
series
of
magazine
stories
and,
in
1916,
as
a
successful
book.
In
1951
it
was
turned
into
a
musical
with
lyrics
by
Kim
Gannon
and
music
by
Walter
Kent
(perhaps
best
known
for
his
contribution
to
the
song
“White
Cliffs
of
Dover”).
In
spite
of
an
interesting
score
Seventeen
was
not
successful
on
Broadway,
only
achieving
180
performances.
Of
the
cast
Kenneth
Nelson
went
on
to
greater
recognition
in
such
shows
as
The
Fantasticks
and
the
play
The
Boys
in
the
Band.
The
cast
recording
of
Seventeen
has
been
unavailable
for
many
years
and
makes
it’s
CD
debut
here.
We
have
coupled
Seventeen
with
another
Broadway
show
High
Button
Shoes
starring
Phil
Silvers
and
Nanette
Fabray.
This
was
Jule
Styne’s
first
Broadway
show
and
the
collaboration
with
lyricist
Sammy
Cahn
proved
to
be
successful.
High
Button
Shoes
ran
for
727
performances
and
produced
hit
songs
“I
Still
Get
Jealous”
and
“Papa,
Won’t
You
Dance
With
Me”.
Both
the
“pop”
versions
charted
in
America
and
are
featured
on
this
CD
as
bonus
tracks,
the
former
performed
by
Gordon
MacRae
and
the
latter
Doris
Day.
