In a few years, New Faces will be remembered only as the show that introduced Broadway to Eartha Kitt.
Other of the comics who give New Faces color are Paul Lynch with his Rotarian's account of lion-hunting in Africa and a "friend of the producer," Virginia DeLuce, who manhandles Clary and also introduces the skits in exaggerated Runyonese.
Many of the new faces have the talent and personality to become nationally familiar.

One hopes that when New Faces of 1956 finally makes it to CD, these eight tracks will be included along with the rest of the score.
With the accompaniment of a small (five-piece) orchestra, the '68 New Faces is by far the least interesting of the New Faces cast albums.

 NEW FACES REVUES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Once the NEW FACES concept took hold, it became a marketable commodity and in 1948 Maxwell House sponsored a radio version for which Paddy Chayevsky wrote and performed a song about the Champs Elysees of the Bronx, Mosholo Parkway.
NEW FACES OF 1952 was the first Broadway revue made into a theatrical film.
Judging from the video, the theatrical version of NEW FACES replaced a few of the cast members, billed them in order of their importance (screen time) instead of alphabetically, and reshuffled the running order of the numbers, dropping quite a few and adding some others.

Harnick had been a dance band violinist before moving to New York in, where he had several of his songs performed in revues such as "New Faces of 1952" ("Boston Beguine") and "Shoestring Revue."

She made her mark in film in the 1950s, beginning with her dazzling quartet of songs in the otherwise dreary "New Faces of 1952"/"New Faces" (1954), a screen record of the popular Broadway revue.
Although Kitt starred in the musical biography of W C Handy, "St. Louis Blues", in the title role in "Anna Lucasta" (both 1958), and was the subject of a 1981 documentary "All By Myself", her career has been uneven.
Reviews of the show were mixed, but critics were invariably transfixed and impressed with the still-striking diva's potent presence.

When the new girlfriend meets Bronsky's son, Richard (Christopher Kromer), we guess that the handsome, unhappy son will eventually end up with her, but the play goes somewhere else entirely.
The script is heavily laced with sharp dialogue; the characters toss off clever lines left and right, though all of these one-liners do eventually make the piece feel more written than lived in the moment.
