Description / My Opinion
|
|
CD-Now - Ordered 04/02/99 - Shipped 04/08/99 - Received 04/16/99 Recorded February 1, 1999 at The Hit Factory, NY The booklet contains a history of the show by Cy Coleman, a synopsis by Michael Portantière (managing editor of InTheater magazine). There are also 4 small (very small) color pictures of the show. There are three more on the back of the jewel box. This recording is quite nice. There are some wonderful songs (Be A Performer...) and they are very well sung. As it's the only recording of this show I know, I don't know if it can be better or not, but personally I consider this one to be excellent.
