Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Music Reviews
The fourth installment by the impossibly bubbly Broadway Kids marks a return to familiar territory after a detour that yielded a Christmas album and a set of movie-soundtrack songs. Back on the celebrated street that spawned them, the Kids sound right at home. Deftly and with an energy level exclusive to their age bracket, they dive into numbers from such much-loved musicals as Cats, West Side Story, and Annie Get Your Gun--more grown-up fare, perhaps, than the shows that appeared up on their 1994 debut, The Broadway Kids Sing Broadway, but just as apt to drum up fantasies of the stage in young, theatrical-minded bedroom crooners. The group's ranks have swelled to 20 from 14 (on their debut), which means more fun for armchair talent scouts and anyone hoping to watch the progress of rising stars. Original Broadway Kid Lacey Chabert landed a starring role on Fox's Party of Five and other sweet-voiced alumni probably won't be far behind her celebrity footsteps. After all, doesn't anyone talented enough to take "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats" and spin it into something just shy of sensible deserve a shot at stardom? --Tammy La Gorce

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, October 27, 1999

By A Customer

A fun CD for people of all ages. The better songs are I Feel Pretty, Hair, and Broadway Baby. There are some duds in Bigger Isn't Better and Heart. And while all of the girls sound wonderful, some of the boys have voices that are uncomfortable to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Makes You Sing, June 22, 2000

By	Brandy Miller (Union, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A while back, I wanted to introduce my three and one year old to something better than "the wheels on the bus go round and round...". Much to my surprise and delight, we hit gold! This group of kids is inspirational. The songs are addictive. It can't be helped but to want listen to it again and again. My three year old knows each and every song verbatim. Not to mention, she never fails to bring tears to my eyes when she is giving it her all at Beauty and the Beast. Just as the Broadway Kids do it, she sings with a lot of "Heart". I have purchased copies to give out as gifts to friends and relatives. This CD is a must-have, even if your not a kid!
