Bounce is a pretty accurate title for this Sondheim show, which receives a cast album after having been seemingly everywhere but Broadway. In a way this is fitting for a musical that's been on Sondheim's mind since 1952, when he first read about the adventures of the two Mizner brothers in The New Yorker. Based on this Fall 2003 Kennedy Center production, figuring out why Bounce doesn't quite click is tricky. Is it the heard-it-before quality of the material? The title track is disappointingly by-the-numbers Sondheim, for instance. Or is it the uneven cast? Howard McGillin lacks the outsize personality needed to infuse life into scheming Wilson Mizner (a part played by Nathan Lane in a 1999 Off-Broadway "workshop" of the show, then titled Wise Guys). But then Michelle Pawk does wonderfully in the sultry ballad "What's Your Rush?" before eclipsing McGillin in their duet, "The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened." Got it! Bounce may not work as a show, but a few of its songs are bound to show up in a cabaret near you sooner rather than later. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Bookend for Saturday Night.......2007-04-25

This show has the same problem as Boch and Harnick's "Rothschilds" - lots of craft and obvious talent, but who gives a damn that members of a family cornered the market using questionable methods? It's like spending Thanksgiving with those relatives of your own that you'd rather not.

Artistically it's the same level as Sondheim's first show, "Saturday Night" - interesting but you wouldn't pay it much attention if it's author had never written anything else. Which makes his career arc rather like one of Sondheim's better shows - brilliant with stunning passages, but ending a bit clumsy, unresolved or just fizzling. A master artist like Sondheim you'd hope for some kind of epiphany, a "Tempest". "Bounce" isn't a "Tempest".

The recording is a little threadbare - the mother wobbly voiced, sythesizer in lieu of orchestra, bland second lead. In the heightened world of musical theater this just isn't a Sondheim worthy story.

Not One of Sondheim's Best, But A Couple of Nice Songs.......2006-12-19

With so many great musicals written by Mr. Sondheim, efforts such as "Bounce" seem flimsy in comparison. The cast's voices are fine, but most of the songs simply lack the composer's typical magic.

There are, however, a couple noteable tracks, namely the title track, "What's Your Rush", and "The Best Thing That Ever Happened".

Maybe with some revisions, the production will eventually arrive on Broadway - though it may be limping when (if) it does.

Not quite..........2006-10-09

Sonheim is one of the days best composers, but we all have bad days right? This was Sondheims bad day. The music is boring, Listening to the soundtrack doesnt make you want to see the show, no great ballads, basicly NOT WORTH $20. If you see this at a used CD store somewhere its one to for the collection, but not for any one looking for Sondheim. I would suggest this solely for Sondheim collectors, its not one for listening too. Favorite song: "The Best Thing That Has Evere Happened"

awful.......2006-05-07

I caught the Goodman Theatre production in Chicago and enjoyed it immensely, although it was obviously greatly flawed. I was fairly sure that several of the numbers were going to have to be cut before it reached Broadway--and I assumed they'd be cut before it reached the Kennedy Center--and that the name would have to be changed. The book was actually much stronger than the score, which is unusual in a Sondheim production, but the book was entertaining, the staging was effective, and Richard Kind, although he can't sing at all, was great.

Well, here is the score in its likely final form. The show is still called "Bounce!" (joining the not-so-proud tradition of hyperbolic exclamation-point musicals). All the numbers are intact (with the addition of a very lame "bonus track" number that never even made it to Chicago). I've listened to the cast record many times now, and on the whole I can't stand it. I know all of Sondheim's scores, and there's no question in my mind that this is the worst.

The packaging is disproportionately lavish (disproportionate to the lack of content on the disc itself), which to my mind makes the thing even sadder.

The Black Sheep of Sondheim Scores.......2005-03-06

It took Sondheim ten years to follow up his 1994 masterpiece "Passion", and when "Bounce" made its debut in Chicago during the summer of 2003, many didn't know what to make of it. It played later that year at the Kennedy Center in DC, but, lacking the finances, did not come to Broadway. It's too bad, because, although there are quite a few flaws, "Bounce" really is a wonderful score.

"Bounce" tells the story of the Mizner brothers, whose peculiar journey started during the Gold Rush, and took them all the way to Alaska. The brothers, played impeccably by Richard Kind and Howard McGillin, couldn't be more different: Addison (Kind) is a closeted homosexual and sensitive Mama's boy; Wilson (McGillin) is a suave cad who falls hard for Nellie (the always terrific Michele Pawk), a dancer/grifter in Nome.

From there, they go to pretty much everywhere, and many problems ensue: Addy cannot come to terms with his sexuality; Wilson becomes addicted to drugs; and Nellie is an alcoholic. Addy and Willie's beloved mother (Jane Powell) dies towards the end of the first act. Addy falls in love with a rich young rebel, Hollis (Gavin Creel), who returns his affections, but, since this is Sondheim after all, nothing can turn out right.

After seeing this show in previews at the Kennedy Center, I can definitely testify that this show has several problems (mostly the book, and the fact that Gavin Creel was so incredibly underused), but the score is not one of them. It offers traditional Sondheim, with witty, esoteric lyrics and gorgeous voices.

Hopefully, this show will make it to Broadway in the near future. Until then, we can be glad that this lovely cast album was made.

An Amazing Collection.......2005-04-07

Hi! I am one of the students of the German teacher who has her review posted. I agree with her; the songs help increase German vocabulary and the songs themselves are very well sung. The song collection is also very diverse. There is something for everyone to like in this album. I give it the highest reccomendation.

What are you waiting for, buy it right now. Don't waste any more time.

Great for German classes to use!.......2005-04-05

I teach high school German & have used a few songs from this album to reinforce various grammatical concepts (relative clauses, present perfect, imperfect...). My students and I all LOVE die Wise Guys' music, and enjoy learning grammar through songs. And since it's all acapella, it's very easy to understand the lyrics.

German acapella group is dynamite.......2005-09-19

The Wise Guys, a German acapella group, perform their original songs (except for a Billy Joel lullabye) in German. Their vocal clarity makes following along on the printed words enclosed in the CD jewel case a simple matter if you know the language. They are witty, accomplished, and "einfach korrekt". Songs are performed in a range of styles with most light and upbeat. The CD is easily accesssible to any student of German and is highly recommended.

Awesome!.......2002-08-03

A masterpiece of German a capella. GOLD! Any true lover of vocal music will treasure this album, no matter what language you speak.

great contemporary a capella in any language.......2002-03-31

Precise, delightfully hip vocal harmonies (strong in all the vocal parts) and incredible energy give this CD an extra jolt that will delight any fan of group vocal styles and inspire singers to go and do likewise.

Knowing the German language (and even better, Kolsch, the local dialect of Cologne) adds to the depth of the experience, of course - lyrics range from funny & satirical to romantic & sweetly sentimental. "Koln ist Einfact Korrekt", a witty, insightful and ultimately uplifting anthem for their hometown, is sure to provoke equal parts of pride and heimweh (homesickness), even if you're not from there!

Still, no matter how much of the lyric you understand, the high quality of each track as well as the incredible enthusiasm make this CD a perfect introduction to this fine group's wonderful music. It's great to see it available domestically.

Final note: In a funny way, the group reminds me of the early Beatles, in that everything they record has a strong melody and glows with positive energy. There is an infectious freshness about the whole thing, as if they're on to something new & really enjoying themselves. Too bad the German music industry doesn't do more to market this in America.

Ich liebe The Wise Guys! Sie sind wunderbar!.......2000-03-26

I got this CD when I went to Germany last year, and I love it! Fast songs . . . slow songs . . . even an English song! If you're learning German, it's incredibly educational. If you know German, it is funny and sounds great. And, if you don't know German, it is simply a great CD. Highly recommend! (Thanks Max for getting it for me ;)

Their sound is relaxing. Sie sind am besten.......1999-01-28

This group is awesome. The harmonies of the five guys is impressive. The tekkno song is very funny. It is fun even if you do not know German. If you know German you must have this CD. They sing about their lives and culture in a humorous way. It is a learning experience for the listener!!!!!!!!
