Easter Parade is the sort of musical to put your feet up for.
01/26/06
A trifle of a musical revue.

The Irving Berlin score is bright, and Walters is one director who knows when to leave Astaire to his own devices.

Top CriticThe slight plot is laced with generous dollops of vintage Irving Berlin songs, several of them staged with dazzling ingenuity.
