The original cast recording from the hit musical. 44 tracks. Universal. 2010.

This 1995 release is a slightly scaled-back, budget-priced version of the original London cast recording of The Music Man, released 23 years after Stanyan Records brought out an American LP release of the album, originally issued in the U.K. on RCA Victor Records in 1961. It took more than three years for Great Britain to get its own version of the 1957 Broadway hit when the London production of The Music Man opened for the first of 395 performances on March 16, 1961. The chief draw was movie star Van Johnson in the starring role of the con man, Professor Harold Hill, who convinces the residents of River City, IA, that there's trouble in their town and they need a boys' band. British audiences may have been baffled by the show's distinctly American tone, but they flocked to see Johnson;... Less

Music by Claude-Michel Schonberg. Lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr. & Alain Boublil, adapted from original French lyrics by Alain Boublil.Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg's followup to Les Miserables is another sung-through operetta with a serious theme and a classic source: They have placed Madame Butterfly in the waning days of the Vietnam War. Jonathan Pryce stands out as a pimp named the Engineer in this London cast recording, and the score has the same rock feel as Schonberg's Les Miserables music. ~ William Ruhlmann

This is one of those albums. On the top of the insert it says "Relive the Experience" and then the logo for Priscilla: Queen of the Desert: The Musical, and then at the very bottom in small print it states, "Music Inspired by the Australian Stage Musical." Now this is curious, right? It's not the musical, not a cast recording, but a 39-cut anthology of tunes "inspired by" the musical. Impossible, since the vast majority of these songs, by people like Donna Summer, Petula Clark, Bananarama, Kool & the Gang, the Commodores, Peaches & Herb, Elvis Presley, Rose Royce and so many others were recorded decades before the musical. No truth in advertising here. That said, much of the musical was inspired by the experience of this music, and Priscilla is a pretty hip compilation of pop and soul... Less

Let's face it: Sometimes, even Noel Coward could fail. Take his 1961 musical Sail Away: Coward wrote the book, lyrics, and score--and sometimes you wish he had delegated a bit more. Set on the cruise ship S.S. Coronia, the show certainly has its moments, but overall it fails to make a lasting impression. While there are lovely tunes ("Sail Away," "Later than Spring") and a few peerless comic showcases ("Useless Useful Phrases," "Why Do the Wrong People Travel?"), Coward's trademark wit comes across as toothless now. And yet Sail Away remains cultish because it turned Elaine Stritch into a marquee name. The singer-actor was so good during the out-of-town tryouts that Coward expanded her part, and Stritch ran with it. She sells a ballad like "Something Very Strange" with all her... Less

Recording information: EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, England (06/12/1995- 06/14/1995).One of the most fascinating figures in French pop music history, singer/songwriter Jacques Brel is renowned for his overt theatricality and witty lyrics, which could range in tone from playfully bawdy to outright morbid. Though quite popular in Europe Brel's bold aesthetic eventually won a cult following in the United States, thanks to the occasional English translation and interpretation of his compositions... Less

Recording information: London, England; New York, NY.John Cranko, who conceived the British musical revue Cranks, was a choreographer, but he also wrote lyrics for the show's songs with composer John Addison. Yet his greatest contribution may have been in the casting of the four-hander, which featured Annie Ross, Anthony Newley, Hugh Bryant, and Gilbert Vernon. Ross was known as a jazz singer with a theatrical background, while Newley had appeared in a string of films, but never sung professionally before. It must have been the staging and the chemistry between the... Less

Liner Note Author: Rexton S. Bunnett. Recording information: EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, England.The British JAY Records label has built up a library of re-recordings of classic Broadway musical scores, either by bringing the casts of London revivals into the studio or assembling studio-only casts featuring veteran West End and Broadway performers, opera singers, and film stars. The record company has been careful to use the original orchestrations and often added incidental music not heard on the original Broadway cast albums. This effort allows JAY to repackage songs from its collection on various-artists albums such as this one, which is part of a series on the "MUSICality" of theater music songwriters from Jerome Kern to Andrew Lloyd Webber. The 12 tracks here are taken from the... Less

A Year With Frog and Toad, the off-Broadway turned on-Broadway musical based on the fabulous children's books by Arnold Lobel, borrows several of the short vignettes illustrated in Lobel's four books on the characters to describe a year in the life of Frog and Toad, from their springtime wake-up from hibernation all the way around to another springtime. For the most part, the musical works well, but it does flounder occasionally when it ventures away from the playful toward the overly dramatic operatic vibrato treatments from the musical leads, Jay Goede (Frog) and Mark Lin-Baker (Toad). Understanding that this dramatic style is necessary to convey an emotional message when presented on the stage makes the approach acceptable, but a bit heavy-handed when transferred to a recording where...

Recording information: EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, England (09/28/1986).In April 1981, Noël Coward biographer Sheridan Morley "devised" an "entertainment" called Noël and Gertie as a benefit for the Combined Theatrical Charities Council, and it was performed at the May Fair Theatre in London, England. It was a musical revue constructed out of songs and excerpts from the writings of Coward, some of which, in their initial presentation, had been performed by him with actress/singer Gertrude Lawrence. A commercial production of the revue ran for a month in London in 1983, and the third mounting, at the Donmar Warehouse (in the London equivalent of off-Broadway), for another month in 1986 with Lewis Fiander as Noël and Patricia Hodge as Gertie. That production was recorded for this cast... Less
