5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Musical Ever Written, September 29, 2000

This review is from: Passion: Vocal Score: A New Musical (Paperback)

Passion is an excellent show. It won the Tony for best musical in 1994.

One of the things that I find most fascinating about this score is the way it flows from song to dialogue and back again. Songs segue into one another without breaking flow or style. There are no set applause points, no big dance numbers, just a moving, touching story told with some of the most beautiful music ever written for the stage.

If you are a Sondheim fan at all, or if you would like to own an achingly beautiful collection of love songs, this is definitely the score for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring Sondheim's "Passion" home, September 1, 2002

This review is from: Passion: Vocal Score: A New Musical (Paperback)

I just got my copy of the vocal score of Sondheim's "Passion" and I should say it is a Broadway collector's joy to have one of these. The entire book contains all the music, lyrics, and underscores. An average pianist may find it quite difficult to play the music but when played by an expert it makes it sound almost as if you're playing the entire orchestra! Anyone who loves collecting Broadway music definitely wouldn't want to miss owning a copy of this fabulous musical. This goes better together with the script which is also available from Amazon.
