Ultimate Broadway

Great CD's set. My only disappointment was that there was no music from Jesus Christ Super Star. This, however, did not take away from the quality of the music selected. I hum the show tunes all of the time.

A great compilation of Broadway hits with original performances that will be enjoyed again and again.

Ultimate Broadway CD

I am an avid fan of show tunes and this one is "Ultimate Broadway" and it is wonderful. The songs are performed by the original Broadway artists so you get to hear the music performed as it was meant to be. The sound is great and all in all I couldn't be more pleased.

Overall, quite good.

This is really a good selection. You can't go wrong with 'West Side Story', 'Man of La Mancha', 'Fiddler on the Roof', or 'The King and I'. I guess you can always argue why two songs from one show were selected, while another show may be completely omitted.

My only real disappointment is with the selection of the Aretha Franklin version of 'I Dreamed a Dream'. The song is too stylized by Aretha, and sounds nothing like it is performed in 'Les Miserables'. I didn't care for this version in the least. I would have much preferred Randy Graff or Patti LuPone.

Nice assortment of songs from Broadway musicals.

I was pretty pleased with this cd. There were some songs that made it in this from a few musicals where there could have been much better choices, but all in all. it is a good two disc cd. I do not plan on buying the second one due to the repeats. I must agree with one other reviewer of the second cd, with so many great Broadway musical numbers out there, there is, truely, no excuse for repeats. Happy shopping all! q:-)
