"PEG is a charming musical version of J. Hartley Manners' immortal play PEG O' MY HEART, with music and lyrics by David Heneker. This CD features the original 1984 London cast headed by the stunning Ann Morrison as Peg herself.The cast also includes Sian Phillips (GIGI), Edward Duke, John Hewer, Patricia Michael, Julia Sutton, David McAlister, Martin Smith, Liza Sadovy and Tim Smith.The story of PEG translates effortlessly to the musical comedy stage, and standout numbers include "That's My Father", "Pretty Dresses", "There's a Devil in Me", "I Want to Dance" and "Manhattan Hometown".Highly recommended.
