She’s A Good Fellow

Shows · She’s A Good Fellow

A young Spanish girl disguises herself as a boy to attend an American college, leading to a series of romantic complications and mistaken identities as she navigates campus life. Her ruse becomes increasingly difficult to maintain as she falls for a fellow student and the college community grows suspicious of the charming new ‘fellow.’

Dillingham’s production of She’s a Good Fellow (5/5/19; 120 performances) boasted a score by JEROME KERN and Anne Caldwell. Joseph Santley (in drag), the Duncan Sisters, Olin Howland, and Ivy Sawyer starred. book:broadway-its-history-people-and-places-an-encyclopedia-bloom-ken-1949-2nd-ed-new#p340

What we hear is slightly amusing, no more. But on The Jerome Kern Treasury (see below), John McGlinn conducts Jeanne Lehmann and Rebecca Luker, a women’s chorus, and an orchestra playing the song in its original scoring—and what sounds thin and hokey on the Duncans’ 78 suddenly surges with melody. book:anything-goes-a-history-of-american-musical-theatre-ethan-mordden#p387
