Broadway's Greatest Leading Men

Search: The Impossible Dream- Richard Kiley
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 23, 2000
Broadway's Greatest Leading Men is a great sampling of Broadway's best. I gave it a 4 1/2 star rating only because there were a few of the great shows not represented--like Pajama Game and Camelot. This collection did however open my eyes to shows I was less familar with. Performances by Robert Klein, Joel Grey and Anthony Newley were excellent, but Richard Kiley's "Impossible Dream" and John Raitt's "Soliloquy" alone made buying the CD worthwhile. It's a must for the Broadway lover. I can't wait for Leading Men II.

The Sullivan Years: Best Of Broadway, Vol. 1

Search: The Impossible Dream- Richard Kiley
by: Original Cast Recording

Release Date May 26, 1992
The Ed Sullivan Show, during the heyday of Broadway's Golden Age in the 1950s and 1960s, would often present highlights from current Broadway shows on the program. Sometime this just involved a cast member singing a number, and other times it involved performances in full costume with sets and dialogue scene lead-ins. In the process, this allowed for the preservation on film and tape of many aspects of classic Broadways shows not preserved on their cast albums, and enhanced the legacies of shows that are for the most part lost forever.

A two CD set featuring audio from some of these performances seemed like such a good idea and one can't fault the choice of selections on this first volume (a second two CD volume was chiefly ... Read More:

Front Row Center: The Broadway Gold Box

Search: The Impossible Dream- Richard Kiley
by: Various Artists - Soundtracks

Release Date March 12, 1996
I have owned this set for some time, and Disc 2 is one of my all-time favorite CDs. Its packed with fabulous important milestones from the 1940's, like "You Can't Get A Man With A Gun", "South America, Take It Away", the original of the incomparable "September Song", and lots of fun smutty lyrics from various Cole Porter numbers. A must-have for fans of classic Broadway musical theater.

Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)

Search: The Impossible Dream- Richard Kiley
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...
