Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars One of Foxworthy's Best! .......2005-08-03

Foxworthy is very funny and clean on this CD. I liked it better than his first CD. If you like Foxworthy, buy this.

5 out of 5 stars Every bit is a winner!.......2003-12-30

I listen to this CD probably more than I ought to but dern if it isn't funny! I just hate doing chores, so when I can't get out of them, I just crank up a couple of Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall CDs and go to town. Heck, the only reason my kitchen counters aren't all mouldy is because of the "Games Rednecks Play"!

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as You Might Be a Redneck if...............2003-05-07

This is a lot more polished than his previous album. It's not as funny though but still is worth buying. There is one song on here Party All Night which isn't too bad a country song music wise has the Dukes of Hazard car's horn at the start then puts his Single Life Is Just to Hard stand up track from his album You Might Be a Redneck if... to music.

Does have one You Might Be A Redneck Track with more extremely funny sentences such as If you own a home that's mobile and 14 cars that aren't you might be a redneck. If you've been married three times and still have the same in laws is another classic.

Buy it if it's a good price.

5 out of 5 stars A little dated in some parts, but still one of THE BEST!.......2002-05-05

In one of his funniest "comedy albums", Foxworthy really shines in this 1995 release. Like Richard Pryor and Freddie Prinze, Foxworthy attacks his ethnic background of being a Redneck, including such jokes as being a male chauvinist pig, implying that all people born in the South are indeed stupid, old age, the troubles being a parent, the troubles having rednecks for family, and the dated joke of the "1996 Olympics being in Georgia". It is all done in good fun, because Jeff Foxworthy is a redneck and would know about other rednecks. "Games Rednecks Play" has got to be one of his best albums. It even has some of his early routines, including the famous "fertility test" and the "designated driver" speech. This album has to have something that will tickle your funny bone.

4 out of 5 stars the best laugh medicine in the world.......2000-05-08

when i first listened to this album, i was laughing my head off and so was my family. I know some of the jokes so well that i use them in my everyday life. my favorite is the "you might be a redneck if you see a sign that reads say no to crack and it reminds you to pull your jeans up." imagine that being said with a southern accent, and it is the greatest joke in the world. take my word, buy it today!

    4 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2006-08-06

    This is a wonderful double CD of fabulous musical numbers performed by theatre greats and directed by a legandary musical director.

    5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best.......2005-06-29

    First, to the person who criticizes the recording b/c of "Broadway Baby." Daisy Egan (who sings in in this recording) sounds like she's 10 becuase she IS young. She had just appeared on Braodway in Secret Garden and won a Tony for it. It's a joke...Broadway BABY...hello, it's a joke.

    In a compilation of songs like this you're always going to have tracks that you prefer over others, but the majority of the renditions in this CD are great. This is simply one of the best collections of Sondheim out there. You get interpretations that span from "classical" (Green Finch), to bordering on insane (Anything Twice). This is to demonstrate how versatile this composer really is.

    In my opinion, some of the best renditions are "Not a Day Goes By," "Anyone Can Whistle", "Girls Upstairs Medley," "Losing My Mind/Drive a Person Crazy," and "Weekend inthe Country." Makes me wish I had been there to witness it first hand.

    If you love Sondheim and enjoy hearing Broadway performers, get this CD. A great recording.

    4 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, but mostly excellent.......2004-03-21

    I am sure no knowledgeable person would deny how absolutely perfect all these songs are. However, the performances on this album are extremely inconsistent. It will go from an excellent rendition (Waiting for the Girls medley, Sunday, With So Little To Be Sure Of, Sooner or Later, Green Finch, Send in the Clowns, Pretty Lady) to the weird (I never Do Anything Twice), to the bad (Broadway Baby, Our Time). I still have absolutely no idea how they managed to butcher one of the best songs ever written--Good Thing Going--and turn it into smooth jazz elevator music. Why would they give Broadway Baby to someone who sounds like she's 10? That said, Liza Minelli, Glenn Close, Karen Ziemba, Dorothy Laudon and the "Waiting for the Girls" performers are all very good. And ending with Bernadette Peters and "Sunday" ends the set on a absolutley fabulous note.

    5 out of 5 stars "Celebration" is not strong enough a word.......2003-04-30

    This review is by Crosley.

    I have been a major Sondheim fan for quite some time, and I finally obtained a copy of this album. I was blown away by the excellent cast and phenomenal selection of music. It is obvious how much work went into this production, considering that this is the live recording of a one time show, and it's flawless. The songs cover all of his shows with the exception of "Passion," which was released 3 years after this show. Also, the shows for which he wrote only lyrics are ommited, like West Side Story, Gypsy, etc. Thus, you can find material from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone can Whistle, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Merrily we Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and Assassins.

    There are two striking things about this CD (besides the music and performers themselves). First of all, some of the songs are completely stylistically reworked. The most obvious are "Good Thing Going" and "I Never do Anything Twice." Both are traditionally very ballady with a piano accompaniment, but here they have been redone as jazzy tunes. The result is excellent. Such reworkings demonstrate that Sondheim writes music for virtually any style, and in these cases, across several styles. It's a great example of his variety. The other interesting thing is how many songs have overlapping melodies of songs from different shows. Case in point, "Our Time" and "No one is Alone" are sung seperately by the Harlem Boys Choir and Betty Buckley (the original Grizabella in Webber's atrocious "CATS," although Buckley was excellent) respectively, and then combined. Putting these two songs together offer different meanings to each, and the music is only enhanced. Another example, the trio of "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs," "Love, I Hear," and "Live Alone and Like It" are sung in that order, and then the latter two are combined. Again, the meanings of the songs change, this time in an almost narrative style, and offering different takes on love in the same montage. Lastly (at least for this review, there are more), Dorothy Laudon's (the original Ms. Hannigan in Annie) combination of "Losing my Mind" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" is brilliant. Those who are familiar with these songs will wonder how exactly they fit, but trust me, they do. She swtiches back and forth between melodies to create a number that starts poignant and beautiful, and soon moves to become uproariously funny. Both the song reworkings and overlapping melodies of unrelated songs are all for the better.

    I recommend this recording to anyone wanting to get better acquainted with some of Sondheim's best work, or those already familiar who want to hear a tour de force of phenomenal music. It has been said that Sondheim is a masterful lyricist (which he is), but lacks real talent for music. This CD is the final proof that such critics are wrong. His music may take a few listenings to get into, contrary to Webber or Wildhorn, but unlike those two, he doesn't cater to the audience. He challenges them to think outside of traditional musical theater in a glorious repertoise of shows that reach for a smarter, more sophisticated form.

    5 out of 5 stars A maginificent evening, a magnificent album.......2001-12-16

    There's something to be said for the first concert you ever see at Carnegie Hall. I was fortunate enough to have this be my first. This entire evening was devoted to his genius and the performers did not disappoint.

    This wonderful double CD shows off the best and brightest of the musical theatre composer and it is, as one person put it, "an embarassment of riches." With songs from his finest works done in amazing arrangements (listen to that harmony in "We Had a Good Thing Going"!) combined with fabulous performers this is a Sondheim lovers delight.

    My favorite song is, without a doubt, Dorothy Louden and her wonderful medley of "Losing My Mind" into "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" followed very closely by the recently departed Madeline Kahn singing "Getting Married Today."

    Standup comedian, actress, and singer Lea DeLaria presents a less confrontational image here than she did on 1994's Bulldyke in a China Shop, adopting the role of seductive, witty, confident, and heterosexual jazz chanteuse to perfection. Her voice ranges from little-girl-lost innocence to harder-edged tones, both suited to the opening "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd." With stylings from Billie Holiday to Judy Garland, "I've Got Your Number" heads straight for the heart of 1950s big-band balladry, improvised scat vocals proving DeLaria can swing with the best. "Cool" is anything but, the accompaniment understated, that voice dripping with the promise of sex. In "With Every Breath I Take," we get to imagine every late night smoky bar in every old Hollywood film we've ever seen--while it is pastiche, the characterization is startlingly evocative.

    DeLaria sums it up with "All That Jazz," confidently suggesting, following her recent twin roles in the lavishly acclaimed 2000 Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show, that this girl just wants to have fun playing bad. When she sings "Life Has Been Good to Me," she has such an upbeat twinkle, you suspect she means every word. --Gary S. Dalkin

    4 out of 5 stars if you like female jazz vocalists you'll love this album.......2004-07-27

    I wish Delaria would put out more albums like this one. Her voice and interpretation of the songs on the album are really great and withstand lots of repeat plays. Highly recommended. Many of the cuts are worth 5 stars, but I didn't really like all of her song choices, so that's why I rated the album 4 stars.

    5 out of 5 stars Everyone does it, and seldom as well..........2004-04-10

    All I can say is...WOW.
    When my partner and I saw Lea perform her routine in P-town, she wowed us with a stunning version of one of my all-time favorites, "The Ballad of Sweeny Todd." We bought her CD on the spot and it stayed in my car's CD player for weeks on end (and then I only took it out because I had to switch cars).
    I enjoyed the whole album, but I found myself playing the first track over and over, and even singing it in the shower. I must disagree with the "Cigar" review on all counts, at least regarding this track. The song lends itself so beautifully to swingin' jazz I can't believe nobody thought of it before. But I'm glad no one has, because Lea DeLaria knocks it out of the park. The smooth delivery is perfect for the dry humor of the lyrics, her belts are such a perfect blend of head and chest it sends chills up my spine, and the arrangement is spot-on. The best part - it stands up beautifully to repeat listenings; I just can't grow tired of this rendition. The opening track alone is worth twice the price of this CD.

    ...This bull... in a china closet just flat kills.. you like your jazz delivered with power, style, and class.. Lea delivers. You want your jazz to swing? It does that too. My highest rating. It won't leave your cd player anytime soon. Did I mention the musicians helping Lea are just as hot?

    With the passing of Payne there will never be another CD like this. It's fun and the music is well done. I stuff it in the CD player in my car every time I'm heading out for a round of golf just to get me in the proper mood, that being golf is a great game not to be taken too seriously.

    5 out of 5 stars Jake Trout and the Flounders - I love to play.......2005-07-26

    This is a great album and it grows on you the more you play it. Tragically we lost Payne Stewart a few years ago, so I don't think there will be another album. Get this album. If you are in your 40's you will relate with every song and be singing in the car.

    5 out of 5 stars Jake Trout and the Flounders - I Love To Play.......2005-07-05

    Wonderful gift for any golfer!

    5 out of 5 stars Charmingly Funny and Good Tunes Too!.......2003-06-11

    This makes a great gift for any golf nut. I bought it for myself after Payne Stewart died as a collectors item. The music is good and the lyrics are funny. You'll find yourself singing the songs on the golf course. My father listened to it while visiting me and had to have a copy for himself.

    4 out of 5 stars If you love to play....golf!!.......2003-03-18

    I'm a golf-junkie, and along with two good friends in 1998, we started what we thought was a completely original idea. We created a golf-band and call ourselves The Divots. We released our debut CD, 'golfsongs' of original music and lyrics in 2001.
    We got an email from a fan indicating this along with Jake Trout and the Flouders CD were his favorites. We dug around and found out that Peter Jacobsen, Mark Lye, and the late (..and great!) Payne Stewart had done a series of covers with golf lyrics. I found the CD at a local Best Buy and picked it up. It is very well done and they have an allstar lineup helping them on each song. Musically its solid, lyrically its very very funny. Leonard Nemoy, John Daly, Darius Rucker, Glenn Frey, etc...
    If your a golfer, you'll love this CD. Also, you can check-out The Divots golf-music at www.thedivots.com

    Some of the songs on here are good and some are just not funny at all. I prefer some of his others works to this one, but it is still worth listening to.

    3 out of 5 stars Get the box set.......2003-01-07

    All of these tracks are re-recordings Miller must have made later in life. The problem is that there is no disclaimer so that the consumer isn't aware of the this until you get the disk home. The box set, The Genius of Roger Miller, is the real McCoy. My recommendation is to spend the money and get the box set.

    3 out of 5 stars You'll be happier with an earlier release.......2001-11-30

    Disappointing from first track to last. All the spice is gone.

    For example in Dang Me, the words: "lack nineteen dollars of having" are all the same note, and spoken, not sung. Apparently his vocal agility was gone. In the same song, "high from the highest treeee-YEEE!" - the high-pitched "YEEE!" on the end is gone.

    The same thing in "Chug-a-lug". There's no uplift at the end of "hi-dee-ho". Still a pretty good song but just doesn't sparkle.

    The spice in a Roger Miller song is that he transitions from high to low and back, or the reverse. On this disc he might transition up or down, but not back, and that makes it dull.

    I give positive points for the collection of songs which is excellent for the price.

    5 out of 5 stars Listen,Learn, & Grow: Playtime.......2007-05-14

    The music is excellent, with high quality sound. Not irritating as some classical music can be. Plus the tempo's are varied which is great depending if you need something fast paced or more slow. Best of all, the kids enjoyed it!

    5 out of 5 stars Grandkids love it!.......2007-01-03

    How to gently insert a little culture into the grandkids' lives without Mom freaking out.....send this set of CDs for Christmas. Dad's into heavy metal and Mom, although she has a long history of listening to Classical music as a child, is now into Country. Nothing wrong with that, but how are the three little ones going to hear any of the Classics with Grandma living more than 600 miles away? "Play this in the background while they're having creative time," said I, "and see if they don't enjoy it." When I talked with them a week later the 4 year old couldn't wait to tell me how much he liked the "playtime music" I'd sent him. The quality of the recording is good and the variety of rhythms and tempos make it interesting. Yes they're a little trite and you're going to have to explain that the theme to "the Bad News Bears" really is Classical, but that's okay. If they skipped the genius of Mozart as an infant, or even if they teethed to "the Magic Flute", these CDs will give them a taste of a variety of good music and who knows how far into the Classical realm it may send them as they mature?
