Enchanted

from: Walt Disney Records

Release Date November 20, 2007
If you enjoyed the movie, the CD is awesome! All the tunes bring back that silly happy feeling you had while watching the movie. My children especially love it and I am excited that they have the exposure to theatrical show tunes!

Let Yourself Go

by: Kristin Chenoweth, Jule Styne, George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Jeanine Tesori, Kurt Weill, Jerome Kern, Vincent Youmans, Ricky Ian Gordon, Richard Dworsky, Lawrence Ellington Duke / Brown, Harry Warren, Bobby Troup, Jason Alexander, Irving Berlin, Rob Fisher, The Coffee Club Orchestra

Release Date May 29, 2001
The first time I saw Kristin Chenoweth in a movie was the TV "Music Man". Just lately I listened to the "Wicked" soundtrack, and after that, I've been listening to Kristin's CDs whenever I can. This one is a jazzy, Broadway-type CD with fun, engaging songs. She's a different type of singer, and while not everyone might enjoy her voice, I really do. If you like Broadway, jazz, drama, romance, or just fun, catchy songs, this is a CD for you.

Somewhere over the Rainbow: The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals

by: Various Artists

Release Date June 04, 2002
This C-D contains remastered music from many of the
best musicals I remember from my youth. The only
thing I miss is the video because at times there is
only the sound of tapdancing.
I enjoy singing along with the music while driving
my car. Just as good as singing in the shower!

Moonstruck (1987 Film)

from: Capitol

Release Date October 25, 1990
I know that this is a very popular film, but I never understood why. To me this tale of infidelity and ethnic caricatures, borders on offensive! I would love to see how people would react if African American families were handled the same way. Yeah, I can see it now everyone in the film is picking cotton, eating fried chicken, watermelon and talking with a speech impediment! Or maybe Asian families with everyone running laundry up and down the street with a rickshaw and.......... talking with a speech impediment!

Please don't start hitting me with hate comments, I am not a bigot, but I like equality for all people and the Italian's are taking it pretty hard in "this-a dull-a un-a-romantic comedy". There are a few good scenes scattered through ... Read More:

Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)

from: Sony

Release Date October 19, 2004
Of course there should have been much more. I remember there been a Metropolian Opera series called CAST ALBUMS- 100 YEARS that was put out for a limited time only and had like five volumes.
As Peter Filichia noted they left out SHE LOVES ME, BRIGADOON and SWEENEY TODD. Also nothing from PACIFIC OVERTURES, BIG RIVER, CHESS, CRAZY FOR YOU, JEKYLL & HYDE, TITANIC, THE SCARLET
PIMPERNEL, FOOTLOOSE- THE MUSICAL, THE FULL MONTY, URINTOWN...
But they couldn't have put it all. I would have done without Lee Remick's
"Anyone Can Whistle", because the show was a flop. I guess because it was Sondheim's first "serious" show...

Calamity Jane

from: Prism Platinum

Release Date June 06, 2006
When I first saw this being advertised, I was hoping they had gone back to the original master film recording tapes, and remixed a true and complete recording of this wonderful score, much as Turner/MGM and Rhino records has done with veritably every major film musical that MGM produced from the Wizard of Oz through Gigi. Alas such was not the case. This is just the same flat monophonic undigitalized record that Columbia records has been passing off as a soundtrack since they first released it as a 10" 33RPM LP in 1953. It is a real pity too. This is one of the few original film scores that compares with the best of the great Broadway scores of the same period. This atrocious recording has been available with a truncated PAJAMA GAME soundtrack on records ... Read More:

42nd Street (2001 Revival Broadway Cast)

by: Al Dubin, Michael Cumpsty

Release Date June 12, 2001
I originally bought this simply because it featured the then down-and-out and now (after "Grey Gardens") legendary Christine Ebersole as faded diva Dorothy Brock. Better casting I could not imagine - and she proves it in her every appearance on this recording. Sadly that's not often.
This cast recording belongs to its ensemble, a brilliant crew of performers who shine in every number. Though this is a cast heavy show with a long line-up of leads and featured players, no one performer dominates this cast recording. You will be astonished at how many numbers credit the participation of the "ensemble" or the "full company". But it has to be said the result is a long line up of soaring numbers that more than live up to the potential of these famous songs.

Enigma (Score)

by: John Barry

Release Date April 16, 2002
As others have said, it's a pity we don't get to hear more scores from the man who, along with John Williams, is probably most responsible for turning people on to the art of film scoring. How many millions of people have walked out of a Bond film, Dances With Wolves, Somwehere In Time, Zulu, or any of countless other films, having been swept away by the music and rushed out to get the album?

Barry is among the most important, influential and, most of all, accessible film composers of all time. His combination of achingly romantic tunes, orchestrated with a crisp, sweeping sound that is unmistakable, is always a joy to listen to, even when the scores are to movies that don't deserve them.

In a world where each new blockbuster score sounds exactly like ... Read More:
