Free Music Notes for A Chorus Line - The New Broadway Cast Recording (2006 Broadway Revival Cast)
Free Music Review: Can never have too much of a great thing!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
A Chorus Line is one of my favorite's - At the Ballet - an awesome trio! I listen to this at least once a day. One of the few cd's that I enjoy all songs on.
If you enjoy Broadway Recordings - add this one to your collection!
Free Music Review: close, but not superior
Hit: 4 Stars
This new recording is, of course great because it's the new Broadway cast, but when you compair it to the original cast recording, it pales.
Not seeing the show you can only judge the music, and having listening to the original recording for so many years, you get used to its' perfection.
On the new recording: the opening number is slower, but then "At The Ballet" is too fast. "Sing" tries to be funny and looses the charm of the original. "Nothing" falls short of the original's performance. The montages are great here, and nice to hear more music than the original. What is good is the finale of "One", nice new instrumentation. Overall, the music is crisp, and technology has advanced to make it a good sounding recording, and not to put this recording down, it is a good companion to the "gold standard"-- the original cast recording, but after listening a couple of times, I'll go back to the original when I want to enjoy A Chorus Line.
Free Music Review: Great recording!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent recording of the revival of the Broadway show. It contains more material than the original and is faithful to the original as well.Free Music Review: You'd have to be there
Hit: 2 Stars
A Chorus Line is one of those musicals you have to see to believe. It's all about visuals.
This CD is nice for those who saw the show, however, there is only about two songs that are worth listening to if you can not relate to what is going on.
On it's own, this CD barely floats for entertainment value.
Free Music Review: A very good record of a great show!
Hit: 4 Stars
Look - you can compare "original cast recordings" with "revival recordings" all you like but will you really find the true defining work.
I have seen this show a number of times including an early Broadway cast and I have to say that in my humble opinion this recording holds up very well indeed. It is great to have a more complete recording than the original. This one sparkles in its own way - but then so it should - after all recording techniques have changed over the years, and CD's allow more content than vinyl.
So which is better? I won't say - because each has its own appeal. So go like me and have both the OBC AND this revival!!!
You'll love both I am sure!
