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 ...
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 ...

Advantages: Great CD from a great musical Disadvantages: Only buy if you have seen the musical
Mamma Mia is a musical based on the songs by Abba. This is a review of the CD which has the original cast recordings from the musical.
Before I start, I would like to say only get this CD if you have seen the musical. If you like Abba music then get an Abba CD. Listening to this CD before watching the musical would spoil it.
That said, if you have seen the musical then this CD is a must buy. This is a chance to relive those amazing memories of ... ...As I have said, Mamma Mia is a musical based on the songs of Abba. If you have not seen the musical then I would thoroughly recommend it. The songs were written before the musical which means the story had to fit in around the songs. This is done brilliantly in the musical and sometimes it feels like the songs were written for the story not vice versa.
I have seen the Edinburgh version twice and I love it. The singers are brilliant. It is truly ...
Advantages: A pure, raw and brilliantly original cd. Disadvantages: N/A
One of the most historic and successful shows produced by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice. This recording pre Madonna's film version still remains a classic and a sure fire hit. This original compilation two cd version of the show allows for a lot of open interpretations to these now recognised classic songs, with top notch performances from Julie Covington, Paul Jones and even Tony Christie. A very emotional yet raw production that shows the quality ...
