Free Music Notes for Billy Elliot: The Musical (Original Cast Recording)
Free Music Review: EXCELLENT!!
Hit: 5 Stars
It's 8 days for the Tony Awards and I'm absolutely convinced that BILLY ELLIOTT will win in several categories, including Best Musical. And well deserved that would be: the show is terrific, far away from the lands of new musicals such as IN THE HEIGHTS, SPRING AWAKENING or MOVIN'OUT which, good as they are, seem to appeal an audience who follows new paths in the musical theatre. This one does not attempt to become a revolution in the gender. Actually, it's closer to ANNIE, WICKED or OLIVER!, i.e., a simple story for young people with catchy and tuneful melodies. I haven't seen the play (yet) but, if you've seen the movie you will probably follow the musical - and the lyrics - quite well. I highly recommend this one: conventional as it is, it's a most enjoyable and loving musical. Cross my fingers so that this one becomes the winner next sunday...You really deserve it, Billy!Free Music Review: SHARE BILLY WITH A FRIEND

After seeing "Billy" on Broadway May, 09, I was so inspired with the story, the drive of the music, the sets, the exquisite music, and the performance of Billy, I HAD to buy the CD of the original broadway cast, (Amazon.com had it!) AND the piano music, (medium ability)which by the way, was written in tune with the CD so I could play along with the songs. I even ended up buying another CD for a friend. The whole experience was over the top---and while some said they would never return because the dialogue was difficult to understand - I would see it everyday if I could. I watched the Tony Awards and was so puffed up when I saw all 3 Billys approach the stage. It was FABULOUS...Elton John really showed his genius. Loved it, loved it, loved it!Free Music Review: This is not the Broadway Cast Recording
Hit: 5 Stars
I typed "Billy Elliot Broadway Cast Recording" into Amazon's search field, and this album was the one that came up. But this is not the Broadway, but the London Original Cast. The cast list and the reviews going back to 2006 confirm it. Unless the product has been changed, and this IS the Broadway Cast Recording (and it's unusual for one to come out so quickly after a show opens), and something as odd as Amazon just using the London recording's descriptions and reviews is going on. I love this show, but would like it if buyers knew what they were getting. (Amazon should make it clear in the description.)Free Music Review: All They Have To Do Is Shine!
Hit: 5 Stars
With music by Elton John and lyrics by Lee Hall, this original cast album is full of the fun and the drama of Billy Elliot, the musical based on the acclaimed film of the same name, both of which were directd by the amazing Stephen Daldry. It is impossible to pick one standout number as all seventeen selections are standouts. From the painful memories in "Grandma's Song" to the sheer exuberance of "Expressing Yourself" to the heartbreaking tenderness of "The Letter", each number perfectly enhances the story of Billy Elliot. This is musical theater at its best.Free Music Review: Fabulous music
Hit: 5 Stars
If you haven't seen this show, you should definitely put it on your to do list. The story behind the music is love filled comedy. This music is from the London production of the show and not the New York production. Even though it's done with the London cast, they are still wonderful and amazing. The songs range from "The Letter" being heartfelt, "Shine and Expressing Yourself" being comedic, and "Solidarity" anger. My favorite songs would have to be "Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher", "Electricity", "Once We Were Kings" and "Solidarity."
