Free Music Notes for She Loves Me: The New Broadway Cast Recording (1993 Revival)

Free Music Review: A Sweet Joy
Hit: 5 Stars

The original cast, with the legendary Barbara Cook, is considered by most to be the definitive recording, but this revivial cast is delightful. Boyd Gaines is superb as the somewhat nebbishy Georg, with his voice soaring on the title song and the neurotic "Tonight at Eight;" Diane Fratantoni's Amalia is equally wonderful; and a pair of "Aladdin" alumni, Brad Kane and Jonathan Freeman make the most of their brief moments (Freeman's "Romantic Atmosphere" got him a Tony nomination for about five minutes of work, and he deserved it all the way).

No surprises in this show, just great songs from beginning to end. To name the best songs, just look at the track list. Each is a winner, performed beautifully. Varese Sarabande knows how to make a great cast recording (although they get far too few chances to do so), and this is one of their best.
