Product Description
This collection of party music has done the rounds of friends birthdays, New Years and general jollification for a few years now. I have never found another one that contains just the right element of joining in and silly dancing which this cd does. Everyone knows the words ...or thinks they do, knows the actions...or thinks they do and combined with food,drink alcholic or otherwise, a little bit of hysteria thrown in and you have the perfect party mix. I can recommend it to anyone who wants a good time worth it. Its a bargain if only used a couple of times a year!!! Music Club. 2004.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Dreamgirls 2001.......2007-06-27

This was the worst reproduction of Dreamgirls that I ever heard. I was so disappointed the CD went into the garbage. This is one CD that I would not sell to the public because I expect so much and get so little.

4 out of 5 stars Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04


Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.

Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28

There is atleast 5 new songs on this album that were not in the movie! These girls kill it I mean they are just amazing singers, and this all live! This is needed for any Dreamgirls fanatic like me! You are gonna love it! Enjoy! love live laugh :)

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!!!!.......2006-12-04

As a theatre lover, this recording is amazing. I actually prefer this recording to the OBC. Sheryl Lee Ralph is okay, but can't touch Audra's Deena. The first time I heard Ms. White's "And I Am Telling You..", goosbumps all over my body. The only weak cast member in my opinon is Heather Headly. Vocally, she just isn't there. Too much Aida, not enough Dreamgirls. But all in all, a great live recording of a great show.

5 out of 5 stars One Night Only .......2006-07-19

I was lucky enough to attend this One Night Only concert performance of Dreamgirls and it was a night I will never forget!! The cast was brilliant and the cd is as good if not better than the Broadway cast recording because it is the entire show not just the songs. Bravo to everyone involved !!!

Elaine Stritch is a legend and she knows it. And so she came up with a whole one-woman show about the best topic she could think of: her life in the theater. And what a trip it's been. From Ethel Merman to Noel Coward, Stritch has worked with some of the greatest names to grace the American stage, and she has anecdotes about all of them (most are included on this recording). In this show, she hits all the marks with the acuity of a seasoned pro who's seen it all and whose love for the theater remains undiluted. Stritch is not a traditionally pretty singer (those gravelly pipes!), but she absolutely knows how to give life to a song, extracting the last drop of meaning, dropping pauses for effect with deadly accuracy. Sondheim's "Ladies Who Lunch" and "Broadway Baby" will be hers forever, and a case could be made for the hilarious "Zip" (from Pal Joey) and the obscure, spectacularly politically incorrect "Civilization" (from the revue Angel in the Wings) as well. Fittingly, this two-CD set includes "I'm Still Here," which may well be Stritch's motto. If you're looking for a concise yet bewitching history of the musical, this is it. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A National Treasure.......2007-07-05

This double CD is stuffed full of great songs and amazing stories. My favorite stories are of Elaine's date with Marlon Brando, what she thought some lyric are/meant, and her time in Compant. The total honesty that she brings it all together is touching and inspiring.

Very few people have the length or variety of a career that Elaine Stritch has had. I am sure that she has enough stories to do ten more shows.

If you love Broadway then you must buy this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Stritch is superb.......2007-06-27

The only disappointment is that I missed the show live. This is a terrific honest performance by an actor who has a deep well of experience from which to draw. From her early childhood memories, through acting school, her loves, her struggles and more, Ms Stritch weaves a fascinating and completely enthralling story. Ultimately, she lives the songs, rather than just performs and this is what really marks her out.
I am so glad, she's still here!

3 out of 5 stars Entertaining but grating on the ears.......2007-05-11

I've never been able to understand what is so great about Elaine Stritch's singing. It's simple: she can't sing. I've tried and tried to like her, and I do, as an actress, but NOT as a singer. Listening to these CDs, all I hear is a grouchy old lady voice with no vibrato, no range, and no ability to hold notes. If she were to try out for American Idol she would get cringes! I love her humor and honesty, and that's why I bought this, but the voice...ugh.

5 out of 5 stars Great Broadway Review.......2007-04-11

I thoroughly enjoy this collection of stories from her experiences from a teenage girl in Michigan through her career, very funny, some sad and great entertainment.

4 out of 5 stars Elaine Stritch at Liberty.......2007-01-19

Completely entertaining---a bit maudilin in places, but a must have for any Elaine Stritch fan.

Certainly worth the money!

    3 out of 5 stars Yeah yeah!.......2006-09-27

    This CD features two Ventures albums from 1963.

    Mashed Potatoes and Gravy was the Ventures seventh album. It was released to capitalize on the popularity of the Mashed Potatoes dance craze. After the Mashed Potatoes fad was over, the album was retitled Beach Party. The album features nine cover versions of other people's songs and three original tunes. There were no hit songs on this album. However, "Spudnik" later gained some notoriety after it was stolen by the Challengers and retitled "Surf Rider". Truth be told, the Challengers version is better, but the Ventures version is great in it's own right. The rest of the album is pretty good, too.

    Dance Party was the Ventures eighth album. Rather than focus on one particular dance fad, this album is about dancing in general, although some of the songs have no obvious connection to dancing. Once again, ther are nine cover versions of other people's songs and three original tunes. No hits this time around, either, although the great "Night Rider" has become somewhat of a cult favorite among Ventures fans. The rest of the album is pretty solid, as usual.

    5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous!.......1999-10-24

    This collection of song cycles is simply beautiful. Collected from Finno-Ugric peoples around the Baltic sea area, near Tormis' homeland of Estonia, the songs range from complex arrangements to snippets. Most of the peoples represented on the disk (the Livonians, Karelians, Ingrians, etc.) are dying out, and their languages are almost dead as well. Tormis' beautiful choral arrangements awaken the need to preserve these cultures, and are especially meaningful to anyone with Finno-Ugric heritage. Get the 2-CD set if possible -- it's definitely worth it.

    5 out of 5 stars The kids love it--so do Mom and Dad........1999-10-20

    What a fun album! We've used "Country Ho-Down" for our son's cowboy-birthday party and had a dance contest. The kids loved it. We called the kids in to the party with "We're Going to Have a Party." Later, we sat back and relaxed to "The Unicorn," and "Pooh Corner." It was a great birthday party, enjoyed by kids and adults. Thanks for the music, Markus.

    5 out of 5 stars As a parent I've heard it a hundred times, and I don't mind!.......1999-10-18

    As a parent of two small children, anytime I can get them to listen to something suitable is a big bonus. This album is complex, dealing with subjects from love of parents to eating strange foods. The messages presented are positive, fun and musically diverse. Which explains why I don't mind hearing it over and over again!

    4 out of 5 stars Good listening, good values, good value.......1999-10-17

    Want to find a kid's record that you can enjoy as much as your child? Try "We're going to have a party" by Markus. It starts out punchy and runs the gamut to poignant, all the while gently extolling those virtues we all hope our kids will absorb and incorporate into their lives long after car seats, snow suits, ballet and hockey practice turn into every parent's gilded memories.

        Album Description

        The Going-Away Party is the debut EP from Dayton Oh-based art rock collective Complete Portion Control, related by birth to Dayton lo-fi legends Guided By Voices. Imagine Mark E. Smith from The Fall if he'd gone to a Swiss prep school. Imagine jagged, cyclic rhythms with inscrutable, repetitive vocals ranging from sweet crooning to insane shouting. Imagine a drug experiment gone badly wrong.

        5 out of 5 stars A red wine ritalin US Open cocktail.......2005-02-05

        With the cool ubertones of post-Allan Parsons' Project "I Robot" releases, the debut release by CPC does its best to integrate the many influences of its lead singers' modest Midwestern upbringing. Don't let the liner notes fool you, these guys are from a dull working class Dayton, Ohio exurb best known as the home of Kenny Rogers (the broasted chicken restaurant, not the singer). The lead singers' kaleidoscopic experience as a long distance freight driver, southwestern hippie commune supplicant, strip club poet, ADD drug prophet, and canine philanthropist certainly adds to the mix. While lacking the brilliance and staying power of a meat sandwich, the record leaves one with the distinct and altogether familiar feeling of having undergone full body hair removal by droll aspiring literary agents. Best tracks here are "Ukraniana" and "Destroyer". Recommended.

        5 out of 5 stars Brilliant! A must listen for any serious music lover........2005-02-04

        One of my new favorites. A bit reminiscient of early Pavement, with a hint of The Fall and a touch of GBV. Complete Portion Control makes Conor Oberst and the other new kids seem like they're trying just a bit too hard. Intriguing lyrics set against a background of really cool music. CPC creates new possibilities with their sonic landscapes - not like Moby, though. You'll get it after a few listens....well worth the adventure.

        5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2005-02-04

        One of the best debut recordings I've heard in ages. These guys are serious experimentalists, emphasis on mental. Understand that it's some ex-members of Guided By Voices (do I detect the deft telecaster stylings of Tobin Sprout?) but this definitely stands on its own as a left-field classic.
