Most helpful review My Favourite Broadway - Love Songs

  • A nice collection, but not outstanding

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Aberystwyth, Wales , 02 Mar 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Not as memorable as its predecessor 'My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies', but this collection has its moments. The highlight for me was a gorgeous arrangement of 'Seasons of Love' from RENT, with the amazing voice of Adam Pascal. It was also a nice surprise when Julie Andrews briefly sings at the end with Michael Crawford.

  • Not in my line (surprisingly)

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Wife of customer from Cardiff , 13 Jul 2007
    Hubby ordered this for me, knowing I enjoy romance & musical theatre.

    However, it turned out NOT to be in my line -

    maybe because I didn't recognise most of the performers, nor warm to them (though they may be well known in America),

    and I didn't feel comfortable with the manner in which they introduced the songs.

    Maybe to enjoy 'cabaret' (which I usually do!) I need to empathise with the performers -

    but re this DVD, I didn't.

    The song been chosed are not very popular.Only some of them ever heard. The best one I think is 'music of the night' and 'seasons of love'.

  • Dreadful!

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from Aberdeen , 07 Jul 2005
    This DVD was a waste of an allocation. It is a very VERY dated and VERY American DVD. Lots of pointless boring chat from Julie Andrews and terrible old songs sung by artists struggling to sing who should have retired decades ago. (And in case you are wondering this isn't criticism by a really young person, I'm over fifty!) Avoid it like the plague!
