Grease is THE word! Advantages: Fun! Disadvantages: None! If you've seen the movie, and love the music in it, pick up this single disc reissue of the original classic 2-LP album. I have the original record album and played it quite frequently. It's good to hnag on to, but in the past year I bought this single disc and don't have to worry about this getting worn out. All the original songs from the film are here. The songs are done in the style a typical '50s rock'n'roll song or ballad. The title track ...

Best Musical of the 21st Century - so far... Advantages: Great music, clever lyrics, amazing performances Disadvantages: The song 'Who's The Man' ...onto the opinion. The Witches of Eastwick is the second musical by Dempsey and Rowe to hiot the West End, and is enjoying the success that the first one (The Fix) also deserved. The music is enjoyable, the lyrics are artful and funny and the performances are truly incredible. The show takes its inspiration equally from the original book and the film, which shows through in the opening number, which is far closer in feel to the gbook than the film ... ...the harmony of the three witches - absolutely delicious, if one can use such a word about music. I heartily reccommend this CD as an excellent record of the stage production and as a generally good listen. Fabulous, musical, funny performances of an excellent new score (knocks Mr Lloyd-Webber into a cocked hat) which should be enjoyed by everyone from overture to finale. ...

It's De-lovely!! Advantages: Fantastic Music Disadvantages: None! ...Act 1 it DE-LOVELY and ANYTHING GOES. Which are truely de-lightful. Anything Goes is one of those songs you put on repeat at least five times before listening to the rest of the album! PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE - They sing this because onboard the ship there are no famous people, which of course does nothing for the ships credibility! So imagine their joy when the find out that Americas most wanted is on board... It's a good song but feel you need ... ...end there's a reprise of anything goes and i get a kick out of you, but we're not gonna talk about them right now, because now is the time for BUDDIE BEWARE, this is another song that i think needs a little background, so you can really appriciate it, the character its song by Erma, is usualy portrayed as the petite little blonde, with quite a high pitched voice, and yet when she sings the song, she belts it out, which makes the song even better ... ahhyespls 09.10.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Anything Goes - Original London Cast 2003	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

A great recording of a great show Advantages: Great musical; very strong cast Disadvantages: Not the full recording; some weak voices As a show Les Misérables is flawless. It has a captivating story that keeps you hooked which is displayed in a wonderful musical. One problem often associated with musicals is the lack of originality, shows, too often, consist of two or three individual numbers with the rest of the musical being filled with reprises or slight variations. Although there are songs like this in Les Miserables it doesn't seem so bad because the variation really is different! ... ...is the same, however, because of the different moods in both of the pieces they seem different. In other occurences where the tune is re-used, enough decoration is added to the songs to make them seem original. As for this specific recording; the cast is mainly very strong. The role of Valjean is portrayed by Colm Wilkinson, the person who 'created' the role. His antagonist, Javert is also portrayed very well as Roger Allam's voice is superbly suited ... chiggy321 28.05.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Les Miserables - Original London Cast	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

Blood Brothers Advantages: Compelling listening Disadvantages: You can't get the songs out of your head!! ...a performance of Blood Brothers without crying (which has been quite a few times!!) and the soundtrack brings back many of those feelings! Basically what I'm trying to say is if your familiar with the songs and enjoyed the musical, this is a must have in your CD collection. ... joeycoleman 12.02.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Blood Brothers - 1995 London Cast Recording	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...
