Description / My Opinion
|
|
This is a really good musical, but a little too much disco for me. But I love Anthem which is one of my prefered songs. In fact, the music is nice, the singing also, but just nice. I've been wondering if the recording quality wasn't the problem. The booklet contains some little photos of the main actors and of the authors. Note: The link to the amazon.com recording is a link to the most similar item I found, it has the same tracks and the same actors, so it must only be a distribution matter.
