I know a lot of people have been waiting for news of this cast recording. I guess they think if they can’t see the show, at least they can listen to the music. I’m not sure if it would hold the same appeal for me, if I haven’t actually seen the show. Oh well, hopefully I’ll see the show so it won’t be an issue for me ;~)
While Nathan Lane was definitely the icing, all of the cast put their hearts and phenomenal talents into pulling this show off. Actors like Bebe, Kevin Chamberlain, and Terry Manntear up the stage and have fun with a light-hearted script. It’s worth every penny.
