4 stars The Merry Widow
Again I saw this version in color with Turner and Lamas. I knew the songs and was not that familar with the story lines. I would like to get that version on DVD but it is not out. I also wanted the OPERA version with Alagna and his wife Angela which is not out yet. I did find this in your selection and reveiw this version. I find the costumes were wonderful and all the singers were good. This was another good selection I was glad I purchased.

Georges Bizet's famous opera has been exhilaratingly produced with the concept that CARMEN is 'the first ever musical.' Director David McVicar has restored the story to the original 'opera comique' as written, taking it away from the direction of grand opera that it is most commonly associated with. Among the notables involved with this production are: Anne Sophie von ...

Based on Gregory Maguire's novel of the same name, the Broadway musical WICKED creates a history for the two witches from L. Frank Baum's OZ books. Through composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz's emotive songs, the show reveals the unlikely friendship between Elphaba (Idina Menzel), who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch, and Glinda (Kristin Chenoweth), the Good Witch. The dramatic, horn-laden "No One Mourns the Wicked" starts the story in striking fashion, with the death of the ruby-slipper-wearing Wicked Witch. As Glinda appears, Elphaba's backstory begins, leading to jaunty numbers like "Popular" and "Defying Gravity," as well as ballads such as "I'm Not That Girl" and "For Good," with Menzel and Chenoweth showing off their substantial vocal chops. Adding to the boisterous energy is musical theater veteran Joel Grey, who brings a bit of Broadway's past to his role as the Wizard. Stephen Schwartz/Winnie Holtz- Man Recorded at Right Track Studios, New York, New York. Personnel: Greg Skaff (guitar); Laura Sherman (harp); Maura Giannini, Ann Labin, Victor Heifets, Suzanne Ornstein, Victor Schultz (violin); Kevin Roy, Ronald Carbone (viola); Jeanne LeBlanc (cello); Helen Campo (flute); John Campo (clarinet, bassoon, baritone saxophone); John Moses (clarinet, soprano saxophone); Tom Hoyt, Jon Owens (trumpet); Kelly Dent (French horn); Douglas Purviance, Dale Kirkland ...
