If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything You Always Wanted in a Musical, November 1, 2004

This review is from: Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series) (Audio CD)

If they've missed a worthy musical, I don't know what it is. The selections aren't always the ones I would have made, but it is a GREAT compilation. A little too heavy on pop songs that went to Broadway and 2003 Musicals, but still a must for any Broadway Musical lover.
