5.0 out of 5 stars A Guilty Pleasure, August 23, 2000

OK I'll admit I did my share of Barry bashing in my day, but when it comes to "Copacabana", this score just rocks! My favorite tracks include "Dancin' Fool"-it's got such a driving beat to it! I also like "Who Am I Kidding?"- one of the 2 funniest songs on the album, the other is "Welcome to Havana". If you like Barry's power ballads, then check out "Who needs to Dream". I know some people may think this score shouldn't be 5 stars the way a Sondheim or R&H should be, but sometimes ya just need to listen to something that never takes itself too seriously.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine, nearly traditional musical score!, October 26, 2001

"Copacabana" has rhythms for everyone - swing, jazz, ballad and Latin! The music is energetic and full of fine percussion and horn - it should get anyone on their feet! There are a few recognizable tunes a la Barry Manilow (aside from the title song). The composers and lyricist have taken time to develop catchy tunes and some clever and excellent lyrics in most cases. For musical theatre buffs, the tale of Lola and Tony and the obstacles which, true to musical theatre, ALMOST keep them apart is a familiar but never tiring story. The albumn is a must for Barry Manilow fans - and if you aren't a Manilow fan, give it a listen. I think you will find some nice surprises.

One of the best musicals touring the country! With it's popluar title song and wonderful Latin beat throughout, it is certain to make its mark with this era's contemporary, modern musicals. This soundtrack is a winner: almost like sitting in the theatre. Worth every penny, and cheaper than tickets! Have a front row seat every time!
