Lust is a big element in the show. No one does it better than the lively and lusty Carol Brice. Barbara Cook can be very spirited as well. The show's promiscuity and "free love" theme still come through in this audience recording. This is not the soundtrack. Back then, in this production, the singers performed without amplification. Ah, the good ol' days!
