Broadway And 52nd - Us3

Advantages: THE FUNIEST MUSIC EVER!
Disadvantages: RUDE UNSUITABILITY

...Avenue Q is one of the most thought-through yet simple musicals. It's music and lyrics, although not to the taste of everyone, is side-splitting and thruely comical and is represented wonderfully in this broardway album. i was one of the first to see the show in the westend, following previews, after the show had come over from broadway and i was in fits of laughter and every moment and at the end a well deserved standing ovation was heard. After hearing the music in the show i knew that i had to have the album and i'm really glad i did! i can appreciate that some people would be offended by the nature and lyrics of the song, as it just about picks faults in everyone, but i believe that taken with a pinch of salt that this show and soundtrack are truely histerical and memorable!...

Advantages: Great emotional heartfelt album
Disadvantages: Won't suit all tastes - very emotional to listen to

...A stunning debut album from one of the UK's leading stage actresses.

An amazing debut album from... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic music humor and music creations
Disadvantages: Misses out lots from the production but is still worth buying

...Once again monty python have delivered a true classic in the form of spamalot. The musical is amazing. You cant stop laughing the whole way through. The actors are fantastic and the music and lyrics are exceptionally well developed throughout the show. The soundtrack is brilliant to listen to. It is exceptionally humorus and very witty and the music is brilliant to listen to. Songs such as THe song that go's like this are brilliant worked and have poet meaning within the lyrics. ALthough sparking humor it also has a lot of truth in it, when you get to down to the bare lyrics. Other classic python songs are brilliantly encorperated and new ones like you wont succeed on broadway if you dont have any jews are masterful. the whitty humor and skill of the the music and lyrics makes it a pleasure to listen to. Even if you have seen... Read review
