"A superb cast and a literate concept are not necessarily enough. Triumph of Love's tale of a deposed but over-educated prince regaining his kingdom and falling in love with the princess he must dethrone takes an esoteric approach that is often weighed down by verbiage. Still, this fine cast recording has plenty of pleasure to offer.
A team of Broadway favorites has fun with the score by composer Jeffrey Stock and lyricist Susan Birkenhead. Susan Egan plays the gender-switching princess, and hunky Christopher Sieber is disarming as the prince. They share several good duets, and lead the ensemble in the ravishing "Teach Me Not to Love You." F. Murray Abraham and Betty Buckley have a riotous time playing the prince's vengeful tutors - Buckley stopped the show nightly with "Serenity." Nancy Opel (what a talent!) has some fine comic moments as Egan's wacky maid." Musicals101
