Description / My Opinion

Amazon.com - Ordered 05/19/1999 - Shipped 06/18/1999 - Reveived 06/24/1999 The booklet contains a one page introduction about Bob Fosse. There are 6 big, 8 medium and 1 small nice color pictures of the show, one of the big pictures being in fact behind the CD in the jewel box. There is a (rather light) description of each number in terms of authors, singers and dancers etc. This recording is a rather dynamic interpretation of some -- often well known -- popular show songs. It's vocally very well performed. As dancing is a key feature of this show, though, I have the big feeling of missing what is a mandatory component that makes this show really interesting. Without it, it's just a (very) well done revue recording.
