Enchanting Broadway Style Musical at Radio City!, October 31, 2005
This review is from: Disney's Snow White Live at Radio City Music Hall (VHS Tape)
In the tradition of Broadway's "Beauty and the Beast," "Lion King," "Aida," California Disney's "Aladdin" and the upcoming "Tarzan" and "Little Mermaid" comes this enchanting performance of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
This video is soooo much fun to watch! Mary Jo Salerno's golden tones and bird like high notes makes a perfect Snow White. She has the innocense, voice and stage presence to portray Disney's first heroine. Anne Francine is a sinister Evil Queen. Very Patti LuPone, Norma Desmondish. The Wicked Witch is bizarre, over the top and scary, performed by an uncredited actor. Prince Charming, played by Richard Browne, has an amazing Baritone voice, but once again, he only has the first and last scene of the show.
The Seven Dwarfs are sensational. Seven acrobatic and comedic men performing their hearts out backed up by a colorful ensemble of dancing animals and kingdom folk.
All the songs from the Movie are there. "I'm Wishing / One Song," "With A Smile and a Song," "Whistle While You Work," "Heigh-Ho," "Silly Song," "Some Day My Prince Will Come" and Two new sogs written for the Musical. The Musical is slightly different from the Musical in that it has Snow White's father and it tells how she became a servant to the Evil Queen.
If you have a chance to get this video, do so! It's EXTREMELY rare and worth every cent! If you like Broadway shows, Disney Broadway Shows, this is DEFINITELY for you!

The magic of live theatre--makes it the best one to own., August 21, 2005
This review is from: Disney's Snow White Live at Radio City Music Hall (VHS Tape)
Detail care was taken with this production. The production numbers added for the stage are amazing. The cast is perfect. Never will you see the old Queen, Anne Francine, acted like this one does the role. The beautiful Mary Jo Salerno in the title role is so special. The organic quality of a live stage performance makes this story involve you as never before. The death scene and the kiss that returns Snow White to life is touching. Then follows the greatest grand finale to finish the story. Breath taking and worth every penny spent to own this VHS. Grab it!!
