"Ever since borrowing this record from the library
in 1972 it's music pops into my head at the the
oddest moments. Once heard it has never been forgotten.
It's a joyful little sonnet to life's unexpected twists and turns. Perhaps it is out of fashion, but it is never out of tune."
A FITTING TRIBUTE.

"Noel Coward's last full-scale Broadway show was a fitting tribute to his wit and talent. Beautiful, nostalgic songs and an entertaining story make this a special favorite. Perhaps one day someone will revive this little gem of a musical."
ENJOYABLE

"I wish I had seen this show with Florence Henderson! The music and lyrics are great...and humorous! It's fun to hear Florence Henderson as she sounded years ago. What a talented performer!"
EXCELLENT

"I've had the album of this since it first came out.. I loved it, and always wished I could have seen the show...of course with Florence Henderson. The songs are delightful and funny...and Florence sings beautifully."

"Tho' THE GIRL WHO CAME TO SUPPER was not commercially successful when it opened on Broadway in 1963, it contains a brilliant, late-period Noel Coward score. Stars Jose Ferrer, Florence Henderson and Tessie O'Shea make the most of each song. An adaptation of THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL, which turned up on screen with Olivier and Monroe, the songs are Coward at his theatrically savvy and romantic best. O'Shea makes the very most of a real true showstopper, a quartet of rollicking songs about London during Coronation time. The recording appears to be out-of-print now. It's one of those worth seeking out. Cheery and sentimental, it's always a delight to give this one a listen."
