This album is an amazing follow-up to Anthony's first solo album, Centre Stage. Anthony's voice just blows me away on every track! There are times when it does not seem like it can be the same person performing the whole album! The wide range of accents on this recording is great - every song is in a different character. His incredibly moving version of "Bui-Doi" from Miss Saigon is one of the best moments. My favorite from this album is "I Am A Pirate King" which shows off both Anthony's comic abilities and his love of his art(you can tell how much fun he had with it!) This is a definite must-have for anyone!

I'm not much of a fan of artist albums of this content, but I made this one exception after hearing Anthony Warlow on the Jekyll & Hyde Complete Work. I paid a pretty penny for this CD, but I have to say that it was quite worth it! Anthony's talent is amazing; he really has some of the best singing AND acting skills I think I've heard in ages. His accents and clarity are both flawless; you don't need the lyrics in front of you to be able to understand what he's singing. On the more operatic numbers like "Fate" he manages to make it enjoyable even for non-opera fans like myself; on the jazzy "New York" numbers like "Manhattan," he changes his style to suit the song-- it really does seem like different artists at times on the songs! His rendition of "Bui-Doi" brought tears to my eyes, and I was laughing out loud at "I Am a Pirate King" and "On the Boards." Best to hurry and track down this album if you haven't yet! It's worth it!

I'm a huge Les Miz fan, but had never heard of Anthony Warlow. He does one of the smaller parts in Les Miz, but is equal to the leads. A man of broad talents, multiple voices and many styles. If you're a Les Miz fan, I guarantee you'll be an Anthony Warlow fan.

I bought this CD, and all of his other solo outings after I heard him on "Jekyll and Hyde". His rendition of "This is the moment," just plainly put, "perfect".He has great breath control, exciting top notes and a steady center to his voice. With each song his vocal characterizations were tested and his ability as an gifted actor was wonderfully displayed. I can't wait to receive all of his CD's in the next few days.

Anthony Warlow has so many amazing qualities, it's impossible to list them all. To make it short, he's funny, he possesses a voice unlike anything I've ever heard and he has the ability to make *any* song his own. From comedy (his "Pirates of Penzance" is so full of over-the-top G&S goofiness, you'll hurt yourself smiling) to drama (he wrings your heart in "Bui-Doi," a song (and musical) I care little for), he covers a range most performers never touch...or at least don't pull off with any degree of credibility. If you love musicals and musical theatre, you'll love Anthony Warlow, and especially this recording!

Here Aussie Anthony Warlow, one of the most underrated theatre talents of our time, impresses simply by having fun. He honestly seems to be enjoying himself whether playfully crooning his way through a smirking version of "Manhattan" or rumbling into an operatic baritone for the endlessly catchy "Stand Up And Fight". This is a CD musical theatre fans can enjoy from beginning to end time and again, whether it's through singing along or just marveling at the talent on display. When it comes to theatre compilation CDs, "On The Boards" is as good as it gets.

I purchased this CD for my daughter because she likes Anthony Warlow, and I am sold! He has an amazing range of voice and of characterization. I will now make it my quest to find and purchase every Anthony Warlow CD available, and I might even share them with my daughter!!

When listening to the tracks of this CD, it's very easy to forget that this is the same person singing all these songs. Anthony Warlow can make his voice sound old or young, serious or light, happy or sad, as required. The choice of songs (all of which he sings in character) is perfect for showcasing his incredible talent.

I am not kidding, you will never hear another voice like this in like forever. Anthony Warlow has sooo many qualities. He has, of course, a fantastic voice, but he's also incredibly funny and great at different voices. And, you'll notice from the CD cover, he is also just a gorgeous man. You should soooo get this CD, amoung his others. I know for a fact, after you hear his god-like voice, you will become a die-hard fan. I know from experience;-) There is not enough I can say about Anthony or this CD. The point of this whole reveiw is basically-GET THIS CD!!! 'On the Boards' is just the cutest, I will stop bugging you about it. I'm sure you'll be feeling stupid enough when you finally get it and wonder why you waited so long;-) Anthony is the greatest!!!! I can't say that enough!!!
