Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Her debut album, "Songs of Jason Robert Brown," created quite a splash among show music aficionados. Now Lauren Kennedy expands her vision to take on the newest crop of composers and lyricists shaping Broadway and popular song. HERE AND NOW is a thrilling pop-infused collection with arrangements tailored to Lauren's dynamic delivery. Lauren starred on Broadway in Lone Star Love ; prior to that, she appeared as The Lady of the Lake in the Tony Award-winning "Monty Python s Spamalot. She also appeared as Nellie Forbush in Trevor Nunn's Royal National Theatre production of "South Pacific," as well as in the Broadway productions of "Side Show" and "Sunset Boulevard" and premieres of "The Rhythm Club" and "White Christmas." She originated the role of Kathleen in Jason Robert Brown s "The Last Five Years."

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, December 24, 2007

By	D. Irving (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lauren Kennedy's CD is filled with wonderful new works that are a joy to listen to. She knows how to tell a story, and she has a beautiful voice to back it up. It great to hear many songs that have never been recorded, or are hard to find. My one complaint is that some of the keys seem to be set a little low--that is, she seems to have a bit of a hard time hitting the lower notes. Particularly in "Through the Mountain" from Floyd Collins, which starts off pretty low, and feels a bit like she's really reaching for those notes. Once the song gets going, and the notes are more in her range, though, it's absolutely beautiful. Standouts are "My Lifelong Love," "Just Not Now," and "You'll Want Me To Shine" all of which she sings clearly and beautifully, and she nails the dramatic aspect of the songs as well. Definitely worth buying.
