The first time my sons heard this tape they listened to it five more times, each time singing along louder than before. This may sound a bit irritating, but, the showtunes are great fun for adults to listen to (and sing along with) also. The producers of the tape have done a wonderful job selecting top rate songs with well known artists that appeal to children. We have found this to be a great way to introduce our children to these musicals because they want to watch them and look for the songs they recognize.

My 4year old daughter loves it! She plays it over and over. I must admit, it is fun to hear her singing the songs from musicals I grew up with. It is something that we can enjoy together and that she enjoys by herself as well.

Every child should have this CD if not for it's content (it's grrreat!) then for its "historical" value in exposing them to some of the musicals their parents grew up with. I wish there were more CDs like this - I would own them all. The only down-side is there are no accompanying lyrics but at least there's an address you can use to request them (free). Excellent!

My two older boys love this CD, especially the songs from Oliver. My 4 year old sings along with the Oliver songs, even the accent. I love show tunes and love that my kids enjoy them too.

My toddler loves music and this is OUR favorite CD. I love show tunes and these are great selections for kids. I appreciate the fact that the songs are sung by the broadway casts. I know that kids like to hear other kids sing, but sometimes mom needs a break from those cheerful, slightly off-key kids choruses.

We have owned this CD for several years and purchased similar. This is still a favorite, my girls (6 & 7) still ove after 5 years and when they see the movies, they also become favorites. I only wish there were more compilations like this!! Far better than your average kid CD, and just see how you feel after singing Raffi or traditional children's songs a million times.

I bought this CD as a gift for my 4 year old twin granddaughters to listen to in the car. While the tunes are nice, each one has a different volume. As a result, you have to constantly adjust the volume for each song. It often wakes the kids if they have dozed off and causes the driver to be distracted.

I have used this album since I first taught kindergarten 16 years ago! I've played it for 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders and all love the songs. I've used the cassette all these years and have to buy the CD because my tape broke! I couldn't live without it.

This was one of my first CD's when I was little. I can remember dancing around in circles for hours to the wonderful songs. While I hadn't seen all the movies that the songs came from when I was 6, listening to them early on helped develop my love for them. They remain among my favorite songs and movies. They inspire optimism and silliness, which I believe we do not encourage children to embrace enough today. Besides they are classics everyone should know.

there is no way to even tell from the CD what somgs are from what plays . . . my kids love stuff like tis, and we just can't get into this at all.
