Description / My Opinion

|
Amazon.com - Ordered 02/09/99 - Shipped 02/15/99 - Received 02/20/99 Screenplay and adaptation by Betty Comden and Adolph Green The booklet contains 2 big and four medium color pictures of the performers at work, 4 small identity B&W photos of some performers, a two pages photo of Michael Gruber as Don Lockwood and a text explaining how this show was to happen by Craig Barna (Musical Director). This is a wonderful cast recording. Lots of happiness, the score is really entertaining, even the not sung tracks (!) and the singers do perform very well, givin to their voices the right amount of emotion to make their characters living. On the other hand, the score is, I would say, typically broadway-ish and, as myself am starting to appreciate such music, it may not please everyone. But it has enough variety and originality that it's a very enjoyable recording in my opinion.
