If you love Jazz and Swing You'll eat this up,
By Katherine LeDuc (Eacanaba, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City of Angels (1990 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
Love this CD. It has the most exciting Jazz-Swing score done for Broadway in many years. It also has the wittiest lyrics. I had the pleasure of seeing the show on Broadway - with this cast. It was nothing short of amazing how well the songs fit the characters (those who haven't seen the show - read the plot outline - it helps). Some may think the vocal quality is lacking but the songs are so character driven that this is a less important consideration. Would highly recommed this for anyone who loves witty lyrics and a big band sound.

If you like old style 30's music you'll love it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: City of Angels (1990 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
Now big band era music isn't exactly my favorite, but I can still appreciate the score to this well writen, well plotted Tony Award winning (1991, I think) Best Musical. Cy Coleman makes yet another genre inspiring musical.This story within a parellel story of a dectective novelist and his own created characters is a well orchestrated and well played libretto. The orchestra is great. Some really great songs are: the femme fatale's "LOST & FOUND", the witty reparte in "YOU'RE NOTHING WITHOUT ME" that is a banter between the writer and the character he created, the unapprecitaed secretary's "YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON ME", the very funny female duet "WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT WOMEN" and the dramatic song "FUNNY". These are all great songs. The rest are a little to old style I think for me to really appreciate. In all, a strong cast, orchestra and stylized score make for a Tony Award winning musical. If you like Coleman's other works like "BARNUM" & "WILL ROGER'S FOLLIES" you'll probably love this. Both of those were 6-7's in my book as well. To give you an example of my favorites: Sweeney Todd & Les Miserables.

Great Jazz-Oriented Score,
By AJK (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City of Angels (1990 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
1990 Tony winner for Best Musical, "City Of Angels" contains a great score, filled with jazz-oriented melodies & torch songs. Not all the songs are terrific, but most of the score lends itself to repeat listenings. Best tracks include:
Double Talk What You Don't Know About Women With Every Breath I Take [beautiful song!] Lost And Found You're Nothing Without Me [the show's hit] You Can Always Count On Me Funny Great cast ... great buy!
