i have been to see the stage show three times and every time it becomes more and more magical. there is nothing that can top it, or the original film. the music has much more of an african influence on this cd but that just makes it better. listening to the circle of life still sends shivers up my spine even after the 100th listening. you must buy this cd if you have seen the show, and even if you havent then it will make you want to see it. proof that even perfection can be improved!!!

Although the amazon site includes the wrong sound samples above (they are from the LaPone revival), this item is indeed the original cast recording with Lansbury and Cariou. Even better, it's been remastered and includeds 2 bonus track not featured on the original (and much more expensive) RCA double disc. What a find!

I could not wait to listen to this soundtrack and I wasn't disappointed when I did. The songs are fun, upbeat and completely original. As a soundtrack it works really well with songs that move along the plot and give strong character based lyrics. Unfortunately if you want a spot on replica of the film you will not get it but the writers have done a brilliant job adapting this from the screen to the stage, keeping the original plot as closely as possible and yet making this a strong individual show.

For me the best number was the opening one "Ohmygod you guys!" it completely captures the Delta Nu s with a great sense of fun, easily integrating dialogue and establishing Elle's character from the onset.

4.West Side Story by: Original Broadway Cast Recording
September 03, 2007
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : West Side Story
Bernstein wrote himself into the annals of musical history with the score which he composed for West Side Story, a nineteen fifties version of Romeo and Juliet, and Stephen Sondheim did it justice with the terrific lyrics he wrote which made the music soar even higher. This a musical which has entered the popular consciousness with good reason. Who hasn't heard the beauty and poetry of "Maria", the expectant poignancy of "Tonight", or the eternally hopeful "Somewhere" and not been touched, especially when sung, as they are here, by Jim Bryant and Marnie Nixon? There is also the upbeat "America" and "I Feel Pretty" which are ensemble songs geared to showcase Jerome Robbins' choreography to perfection.This is a magnificent CD which should ... Read More:

5.Lopez - Avenue Q by: Original Broadway Cast Recording

Used Price: £6.45

If you haven't yet seen this show but have a good sense of humour and loved watching Sesame Street, then I think you'd love Avenue Q. It is a different type of musical involving muppets with live actors on stage (who are not all dressed in black to avoid being seen). This may sound silly but it is pulled off very well since the muppets actions and expressions are duplicated by the live actor controlling them. The performance can be 'Cras' in places but if you've got a good sense of humour you should be laughing throughout.

If you've seen the musical this soundtrack CD should bring back very good memories. Probably some of my favourites are 'It sucks to be me' and 'the internet is for Porn' as well as 'there's a fine, fine line'. In some ... Read More:

It'sabsoultly amazing and trust me one listen to it and you're hooked! I can'tstop singing NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME! It's beautiful and deserves everyGrammey there has ever been!

Whilst I am very fond of both 'Les Miz' and 'Miss Saigon' on the whole, I cannot recommend 'Pirate Queen' as being of the same standard at all. (I found 'Martin Guerre' very uneven too). On first listening, it all seemed OK but with subsequent listening, a lot of the music seemed overdone or just plain 'ordinary'. It seems that the musical inspiration of the writers has waned to such an extent that I won't seriously search out any more from Boublil & Schonberg; which is a great pity. They proved that 'Les Mis' was not a 'one hit wonder' when 'Saigon' did so well, (although I confess that I still cannot stand to hear 'American Dream' repeatedly!) 'Pirate Queen' has a strange tendency to irritation; the lyrics are workmanlike but not inspired (an attempt ... Read More:

The musical 'Hair' is easily one of my favourites. Here, the broadway album has been remastered for much better sound (many of the vocals are a lot clearer than on previous releases). The second disc contains the original 'off-broadway' album - never before released on CD. It provides a great insight into the humble beginnings of this experimental 'happening'. Also, the interview track with one of the show's creators Galt MacDermot is quite interesting (although probably unnecessary). Altogether, great value for money - and a must-buy for any fan of the show (or Hippie ideals!)
