Aroview: A much-loved, if rather formless musical about the heyday of the railroad in the Old West and the Harvey House restaurants which sprang up along the line, whose air of good manners clashed with the rowdiness of neighbouring saloons. With a glow of enthusiasm lighting up its cast, this is especially memorable for a handful of classic musical numbers featuring Angela Lansbury, including 'Oh You Kid' and 'On the Atchison, Topkea and the Sant Fe'. Songs by Mercer and Warren.
