Love, love, love this soundtrack!!! Just as fun as the show itself, this recording features all of the best tunes to help me relive the laughs every time one of these silly songs plays. It is a great cure for road rage - you can't get mad at someone while you're singing along to these clever songs. I'm buying more copies to share with my Python-loving friends.

The accompaniment tracks are pretty good, not too chintzy. The singers on the sample tracks are no where near the original Broadway cast, but sufficient to remind one of the performance of the songs.

We haven't seen the show, but we like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and couldn't resist picking up this CD when we were in the music store getting a guitar fixed and looking for Christmas music for the BB(flat) tuba (none so far).

I didn't realize right away that it wasn't the Broadway cast, and since we've not seen the show, like I said, we couldn't tell anyway. We enjoy the CD and think it is very campy and expressive. We'll probably get the Broadway cast version too, because it does have more songs as well as the original cast.

Enjoy.

The instrumental tracks are very good, even preformance worthy. Unfortunatly, the vocals arn't quite as good, or just sound odd (In paticular, the bizarre preformance by Sir Robin, who's flutey, alternately effeminate and rough voice can be a bit ditracting.) You'd be best off buying the actual cast recording to learn the songs than risk mimicking this CD. (Though it is fun for a laugh.)
