Dedicated fans of the original Broadway cast recording may quibble about the merits of the movie soundtrack, but the score boasts powerful performances by original cast members Taye Diggs, Jermaine Heredia, and Anthony Rapp. Rosario Dawson, ... Full Descriptionwho was not a member of the original cast, turns in a passionate performance as Mimi Marquez. Rock producer Rob Cavallo, who has helped craft the sound of mainstream heavyweights like Green Day and Alanis Morissette, helms the project, and gives the whole soundtrack a sharp, edgy sheen.
By the time director Chris Columbus adapted Jonathan Larson's rock opera RENT to the big screen in 2005, the play had been running on Broadway for nine years (making it one of the longest-running and successful shows in Broadway history). Chronicling the lives of a group of struggling artists in New York City's East Village, RENT deals with issues of poverty, artistic ambition, illness, AIDS, and human connection in a musical storyline that encompasses rock, R&B, dance, and Latin elements.
Personnel: Aaron Lohr, Wayne Wilcox (vocals); Tim Pierce, Greg Suran (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Suzie Katayama (cello, accordion); Jamie Muhoberac (piano, organ, keyboards); Tim Weil (piano); Gregory Curtis (organ); Paul Bushnell (bass guitar); Dorian Crozier (drums, percussion, programming).

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 ...

Silliness abounds on the Broadway cast recording of MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT, a loose adaptation of the revered (and much-quoted) film MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. Penned by Python member Eric Idle (along with his musical collaborator John Du Prez), SPAMALOT follows the absurd adventures of King Arthur (Tim Curry) and his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Robin (David Hyde Pierce) and Sir Lancelot (Hank Azaria). While the production plays into the conventions of the musical, with plenty of over-the-top singing, it also subverts those cliches, most notably on the hilarious "The Song That Goes Like This," which skewers the Broadway standard of sugary-sweet romantic duets (where a couple can "overact like hell"). Throughout SPAMALOT, cheeky Python-esque humor is always on hand, so much so that the production even includes "Always Look on the Bright Side Of Life," the classic sing-along number from another favorite Python movie, LIFE OF BRIAN.
A musical of the highest excalibur! 'Spamalot' is a new broadway show "lovingly ripped-off" from the film 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail'. the show stars tim curry ('The Rocky Horror Picture Show') as King Arthur, David Hyde-Pierce ('Frasier') as Sir Robin and Hank Azaria ...

There's no question that Snoop Dogg is one of hip-hop's most beloved artists; Snoop has not only ridden with hip-hop from the margins to the mainstream, he helped get the big rig there. All reverence aside, though, the quality of Snoop's output has frequently come into question since the release of his undisputed classic, 1993's DOGGYSTYLE. While all his albums have had their share of hits, they've often lacked cohesion as Snoop aimed for broader appeal, catered to big-name pop guests, and alienated hardcore fans in the process.
But on his eighth effort, it seems Snoop finally has the formula locked down, seamlessly blending smoothed-out 1970s funk ("Think About It," "Boss Life") and catchy R&B ...

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No great soundtrack
Having seen the original off broadway cast ,I think they have been faithful to the original style of the show.Hair was the important to the sixties,as Rocky Horror was to the seventies and this is as important to the youth of the nineties.So be it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Not Broadway, but still great
I'd like to start by saying - Do listen to Mike! The cast for the movie is almost completely the same as the original Broadway show (there are only 2 different), which is what makes it great. The comfort level that goes with the performances bring the fire of Broadway to the screen. The score was carefully adjusted for the movie without losing the feel of the original. Great!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Both have their merits
I have both the original broadway cast recording and the movie soundtrack, and I'd say that both have their merits. Personally, I enjoy the movie soundtrack better, mainly due to the fact that I couldn't stand Daphne Ruben-Vega as Mimi (sorry). I think that the casting of Rosario Dawson was perfect, and although I was hesitant of it at first, I think that she proved herself admirably. I do wish that the score had stayed more true to the original, but I definately applaud the fact that they decided to make a film of it. The transition can be dificult, but they pulled it off.
