Music composed by Andrew Lippa. Lyrics written by Tom Greenwald. Principal cast: Carolee Carmello (Jen); James Ludwig (John). Recorded at Giant Recording, New York, New York. John & Jen is a two-person musical, and the original cast recording is performed by its stars, Carolee Carmello and James Ludwig. The music runs the gamut of Broadway show tunes, alternating between brisk uptempo numbers and showstopping ballads. On this recording, the ballads rank as the most powerful, affecting cuts, but several of the lighter tracks are worthwhile as well. Nevertheless, the music isn't distinguished enough to make the disc compelling to anyone who isn't a dedicated fan of musicals. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

$13.09 MAMMA MIA is a musical based on the songs of ABBA. Music and lyrics composed and written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Principal cast: Lisa Stokke (Sophie Sheridan); Eliza Lumley (Ali); Melissa Gibson (Lisa); Siobhan McCarthy (Donna Sheridan); Louise Plowright (Tanya); Jenny Galloway (Rosie); Andrew Langtree (Sky); Neal Wright (Pepper); Nigel Harman (Eddie); Paul Clarkson (Harry Bright); Nicolas Colicos (Bill Austin); Hilton McRae (Sam Carmichael); Tom Magdich (Father Alexandrios). MAMMA MIA! was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Composer/Lyricists: Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus. Based on the Broadway musical, which, in turn, is based on vintage ABBA tunes, the 2008 Hollywood adaptation of MAMMA MIA! features the star-studded cast performing classic tracks by the beloved Swedish pop group. While most cast members (including Amanda Seyfried and Pierce Brosnan), acquit themselves admirably, Meryl Streep truly shines on buoyant songs such as the title track and "Dancing Queen." ABBA principals Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus turned to stage musicals after their band's demise and composed two, one of which, CHESS, ran in the West End and on Broadway. For their third stage effort, they returned to their ABBA catalog and put together MAMMA MIA!, a show that employs their old songs (with occasional lyric revisions) in the service of a libretto by Catherine Johnson about a girl who tries to discover her father's identity in time to have him give her away at her wedding. So, how does MAMMA MIA! compare to an ABBA greatest-hits album? Well, the recordings are less fully produced than the originals, and in that sense less impressive. But the originals were sung by Scandinavians who sometimes ...
