Seven Comes Eleven: A Gaming Gambol - Various Artists 2013

Seven Come Eleven was the sixth in a series of witty, elegant and original café revues invented and produced between 1956 and 1968 by the urbane polymath, Julius Monk. By the time Seven Come Eleven opened in 1961, Monk and his revues had become must-sees for the New York City cognoscenti. The cast – as ever, attired in tuxedos and black gowns – includes Tony Award® winner Mary Louise Wilson (the 1998 Cabaret revival, Grey Gardens), as well as Rex Robbins, who would later partner Angela Lansbury in the 1974 Gypsy revival and Philip Bruns, who would find fame as a character actor on TV, playing the father in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. A rarity even in its LP iteration, this is the first release of Seven Come Eleven in the digital era.
