Free Music Notes for Fosse (1999 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: The show is great- the CD is not
Hit: 3 Stars
I just saw Fosse in NY yesterday, and i thought it was amazing. But I wasn't expecting it to be good at all when i first walked in, because this CD is just not that good. Except for numbers like Big Spender and Sing, Sing, Sing, the CD on a whole seems very dull and lifeless, but on stage, even the dullest of songs (except for maybe the incomprehensible "Cool Hand Luke") was one fantastic event after another. See the show, but don't waste your time with the CD, and DEFINETLY don't judge the show from just listening to the CD.Free Music Review: Needs The Visuals
Hit: 3 Stars
The Tony-winning production of "Fosse" was an excellent revue of Mr. Fosse's contributions to Broadway, but doesn't exactly translate as well to cd. Still, a nice "highlights" buy!
Best tracks include:
Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries
Big Spender
Rich Man's Frug
Hot Honey Rag
Sing! Sing! Sing!
The voices and orchestrations are good, but I would suggest purchasing the original cast albums instead.
Try "Chicago" or "Sweet Charity" for the best examples.
Free Music Review: where are the rest of the songs???
Hit: 3 Stars
having just seen the musical in new york, i was anticipating much more when i purchased the cd. granted, what was actually on the recording was great, but where are the selections from cabaret, damn yankees, etc????? i especially missed cabaret's "mein herr."Free Music Review: Bland
Hit: 3 Stars
The stage production was fantastic; the CD is just OK. It doesn't have any of the energy of the show. If you like the music, you'd be better off getting the OBC CDs from which these songs were taken, especially Sweet Charity and Cabaret.Free Music Review: BUYING A CD OF A DANCE SHOW LIKE FOSSE
Hit: 3 Stars
makes about as much sense as putting a ventriloquest on the radio. You can't see the dancing and dance music isn't much fun to listen to.But then, what do I know! Edgar Bergen and Charley MacCarthy were big hits on the radio.
