4.0 out of 5 stars Miss the Jamaican Woman, October 4, 2002

This review is from: Original Broadway Show Recording (Audio CD)

This is a womderful CD! The only flaw (and it is a big one) is in the exclusion of the story of Jamaican Woman & The Old Raisin (Which you have to se the video for). Other than that, I highly recommend the CD!
