Free Music Notes for A Man of No Importance (2002 Off-Broadway Cast)Free Music Review: At once earthy and ethereal Hit: 5 Stars
Speaking of Oscar Wilde (the title character's inspiration in this play)... Have Ahrens and Flaherty got a picture hidden in an attic somewhere that suffers the affects of all the bad songs they write? That must explain why you've never heard a klunker from them, and probably never will.Be borne away on gorgeous melodies, and be moved by lyrics appropriately hilarious, heartfelt, or forcefully dramatic. "Streets of Dublin" is the best "love my town" song I've heard yet. "Art" is a hoot.
Free Music Review: Beautiful Score, Fantastic Performances Hit: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this musical... I consider myself a little bit of a music snob, I'm really picky about the quality of music that I listen to, and I absolutely give this show 5 stars! The score is beautiful and heartfelt, and performances by all involved are so genuine and wonderful that it makes you want to listen to it over and over again. I have had "Streets of Dublin" on loop in my mp3 player for days! Plus, the Irish touch to all of the music gives it a fantastic, charming feel :)
Free Music Review: Another great musical from Ahrens and Flaherty! Hit: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this musical team! It seems that everything Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty touch turns to gold. This musical is no exception. There is definitely a flavor of their previous musicals incorporated into this one. Predominantly, it had a feel similar to Ragtime and Lucky Stiff, with an all new Irish twist. It's light and catchy, yet a little slower in pace than most of their musicals in the past. A great album, with great talent in its cast and writers.
Free Music Review: The best score since Ragtime Hit: 5 Stars
From me,that is high praise indeed. A soaring score. So simple and yet so elegant. A show that I missed at Lincoln Center. But I'll not make that mistake again.The cast is very talented and sings beautifully. Roger Rees is so good in the lead that I've now forgiven him for "The Red Shoes", my all-time worst musical. I do not give 5 star reviews often. I truly recommend this cd.
Free Music Review: a must for new music lovers Hit: 5 Stars
I saw this amazing show in december - so glad the cd is finally out! the score is haunting, it progresses the story line. it is emotional and real. if you like new shows like VIOLET and PARADE, it is a must have. if you dont, you need to ask yourself why you dont. If we dont accept and embrace new musicals, we will no longer have this type of theatre to love....
