5.0 out of 5 stars What musicals SHOULD be!!!, December 15, 2007

This new score, written by the brilliant Jonathan David Sloate, is hopefully an indication of what musical theatre is becoming...or, more accurately, how it's being reinvented...beautiful music, clever and moving lyrics, and a serious yet poignant storyline. THE NEW PICASSO is just what musical theatre needs! And the performers on this recording are nothing short of Broadway's best: Max von Essen (LES MISERABLES), Christiane Noll (JEKYLL & HYDE), Robert Cuccioli (JEKYLL & HYDE), Ashley Amber (DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES), Brooke Sunny Moriber (PARADE), and Rodney Hicks (IN THE HEIGHTS) lead the cast.

Although this is only a "concept recording" (meaning the score is bound to change in some way before a production is staged), the quality of the performances is excellent. My favorite songs include "I Believe," "Wind Up Doll," "Save Tomorrow for Another Day," "Live Your Dream," "Act I Finale," "All the Lonely People," "Girl of My Dreams," "He's the One," and "A Hero to Me." But this score is one to be enjoyed in its entirety. And, if you love musical theatre the way I do, you're going to enjoy this score in its entirety!

I'm blown away by how many wonderful melodies are on this concept album. I would stand in the rain to get tickets to see this musical produced! Jonathan David Sloate is a unique musical talent, and I can't wait to hear more of his work. Bring it on!

This is the best musical that I have heard in a long, long time. The melodies are beautiful and the orchestration is stunning. Jonathan Sloate is certainly the newest and most brilliant star on the horzion.
