Free Music Notes for City of Angels (1993 Original London Cast)
Free Music Review: A very good presentation of the show as a whole.
Hit: 5 Stars
To start out with, one thing that this album has in common with the original is the great music of Cy Coleman and the almost perfect lyrics of David Zippel (particularly in "It Needs Work" and "You Can Always Count on Me"), which have never been better. This album is decidedly different from the OBCR, in that it tries to represent the whole show, and not just be a showcase for the songs (which is okay, because I still love the OBCR). It includes wonderful moments of stinging, witty Gelbart dialogue (as on the "L.A. Blues" track, and the "It Needs Work" track). Sometimes, Fiona Hendley gets a bit too over-stylized as Bobbi, trying to sound, I'm guessing, American, but as Gabbi she flourishes, and her performance of "It Needs Work" is great. It sounds as if the actresses singing "What You Don't Know About Women," while still giving a very good performance, are afraid of letting loose and really flying at the end of the song. The voices are not always as strong as they could be, for example, the early faltrering out at the end of "You're Nothing Without Me." "Stay With Me" has never sounded better, and there is a very exciting "All You Have to Do is Wait" by way of David Schoffield on this version as well. In fact, it sounds as if "Wait" and "The Buddy System" (in a very exciting performance by Henry Goodman) have both been re-arranged. "The Tennis Song" is also very good, do a lot to the fact that Susannah Fellows is a perfect Alaura Kingsley (like her Broadway counterpart, Dee Hoty). "You Can Always Count On Me" also flourishes (while cutting the American reference to "the junior prom"). The dialogue at the beginning of the dueted reprise of "With Every Breath I Take" makes for a very touching moment, and this track is among the CD's highlights. The orchestra is very good on "Funny," "L.A. Blues," and the Prologue. This album also has "The Party" and the first section of "Double Talk," which were left off of the OBCR in a very criminal fashion. All in all, a very exciting and rewarding album. A must for all fans of the show, the score, and good musical theatre.
