Since I received this CD, I haven't been able to stop listening to it. I discovered some new songs I'd never heard and re-discovered many old favorites. The best part of this collection, though, is the pure joy of hearing some of the greatest singers, lyrics, and music ever to grace a Broadway stage. Listening to this CD all the way through is like finding a radio station that plays nothing but songs you love--songs you didn't even realize you were dying to hear until they started playing. An absolute must-have for any fan of musical theater, or any fan simply of great music.

This disc contains 12 real show stoppers. Only the most dedicated (fanatical?) collector is likely to have all the original albums already and there's great stuff here. Many fans (i.e. the young ones) will be unfamiliar with Streisand as Miss Marmelstein. Hilarious! Other highlights for me: Randy Graff in "City of Angels" and D'Jamin Bartlett in "Night Music". If you're a fan of the golden age (and slightly later) musicals, you'll enjoy this very much.

No one stops a show like a lady, and here are some of the best ! A great gift, or a great introduction to Broadway for neophytes ! Thanks to the record companies for making these available ! Enjoy !
