Five Guys Named Moe

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Original Cast Recording

Release Date May 19, 1997
From the first song on the cd, you can tell the type of music that there is. Although it is a musical, the lyrics of the song are thought provoking and have some hidden meanings in it if you listen carefully. There are soulfull numbers such as 'Don't let the sun catch you crying' to the more fast-paced and funnier numbers such as 'Safe, sane and single'. Its hard to not tap your feet to it whilst listening. If you love the songs you have to buy the vidoe also, due to the awesome dance routines and hilarious interaction with the audience. You don't get as much of a sense of audience participation with this cd, though there are elements, such as the song 'Caldonia'. Overall, it is a fun cd which has songs for all occasions and emotions of when ... Read More:

A Chorus Line

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Original Cast Recording

Release Date September 29, 1997
My actual and painful experience with theatrical auditions has been from both sides of stage and only once involved an actual musical. Still, I can relate to the desperation and urgency that propels the characters in "A Chorus Line" towards their respective fates. Yes, I might be rather sick and tired of hearing "One," not to mention "One (Reprise)-Finale," but for me the songs I can hear over and over again from this Broadway musical have always been the ensemble numbers: "I Hope I Get It," "At the Ballet" and "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love." Not even "What I Did for Love" compares with those tracks as far as I am concerned.

What makes this musical works is that while it is about an ensemble, it is an ensemble of clearly defined ... Read More:

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
by: Original Cast Recording

Release Date March 17, 1997
I Love You You're Perfect Now Change is a musical revue, based on dating, marriage and the like. It is, for the majority, fantastic. Really funny and original. It is very witty, and the performances are superb. I like all the tracks, though naturally, I favour some over others. My favourites include Single Man Drought (how true! :p), On the Highway of Love (wittyness abound!), Shouldn't I be Less in Love With You? (I found it quite touching) and the Epilogue/I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change (sheer brilliance, and the harmonies are fantastic!) Admittedly, there are some tracks I tend to skip over on listening to it repeatedly, but due to the diversity of this album, these could easily be other people's favourites.
In summary, it's a great album, ... Read More:

The Mikado [1987] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

CD-Charts > Music > Musicals
starring: Eric Idle, Lesley Garrett, Bonaventura Bottone, Richard Van Allan, Felicity Palmer
directed by: John Michael Phillips

Release Date December 26, 2005
I agree with previous 2 reviewers...this version is the best I have seen. The quality of singing and orchestration is above average I must mention Felicity Palmer who plays Katisha. Katisha's songs are Sullivan at his best and require a good singer and Felicity is very good.... however , lovers of Sullivan (and Gilbert) should buy 'The Hot Mikado' for the most beautiful performance of 'Alone, and yet alive' by Katisha.
Sadly I think that the Doyly Carte family have done G & S a great disservice by not allowing their operas to evolve with the times. Sullivan's music is glorious when played and sung professionally and passionately (time for another plug for the 'Hot Mikado'
There are better G &S operas t6han The Mikado but other than the Essgee ... Read More:
