I'm not a fan of revues or juke box musicals. I didn't see this show when it played off-Bway. I listened to the CD online and then ordered it. I'm glad I did because it's a trip. Having all these 60's songs on one CD is a hoot. Another plus is the orchestrations and voices of the ladies singing....both A+.

Also - the CD plays for the longest time frickin time making it perfect for blaring while cleaning the house.

I won't keep you long...this CD is just jolly old fun. Some classic music from the Mod era are performed (quite well) by a group of women. Any of these tracks could be stand alones but together it is a great compilation of highlights from that era of music.

I mean it this just arrived today and it is on 3rd play and the house is sparkling and I am still smiling.

Great nostalgia trip!!!

and sung well thanks shout for bringing these tracks togeather!

Sadly will have to go to states to see show!!!

The CD arrived in its original plastic wrapping. The jewel case was intact and not damaged. The CD itself was in perfect condition. I would not hesitate to use this seller again.

Saw the show off broadway and loved it. Bought the cd at the theater and then ordered some online for friends. You can't help but sing along. Great arrangements and orchestraions. Really fun music!

I am gtting ready to perform in this show so I got it for research and absolutely love the music!!

What a great collections of songs, the originals with a pulsating hip 60's beat. But these interpretations are as bad as can be, the arranger mixed genres with no sense of camp or ear and presented them to a 50's do wop beat that sucks the life out of these other wise fun songs. It's a real miss. Yes, there are a few comic gems like the James Bond Theme, but just download that and skip this disc. The original songs are much better and these girls don't add to them, they just wreck them. Too bad, it seemed like a great concept. Just the wrong wrong wrong people incharge of putting the music together.

I understand that the most recent thing is to take groups of one band or artist's songs and make a musical (Movin' Out; Taboo; Mamma Mia) but this takes a small group of songs from the 60's and makes a musical. Maybe if you saw the show it would make more sense, but the CD gives nothing as to the plot, or characters. This is not a Broadway CD, it's a 60's Ballad CD. Don't get me wrong, the voices and music are great, but to be advertised as anything resembling a musical is just plain wrong. Musical Theater collectors can pass on this one (that is the first time I've ever said that) it shouldn't be part of a musical collection. But if you like the golden oldies by all means get this one. I didn't give this CD two stars because it's bad, it is just advertised wrong and shouldn't be here. Favorite song: "Goin Back"
