5.0 out of 5 stars a fantastic new musical, November 8, 2002

This review is from: Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE opened to mostly-excellent reviews at the Marquis Theatre earlier this year, and led the charge at this year's Tony Awards.

Newcomer Sutton Foster is a revelation as Millie. When she played the Star-To-Be in the recent Broadway revival of ANNIE, she might as well have been predicting her future when she sang: 'NYC/I give you fair warning/Up there/In lights/I'll be'. Her glorious voice soars in such numbers as "Not For the Life of Me", "Gimme Gimme", "Jimmy" and "Forget About the Boy". Needless to say, Foster's Tony win as Best Actress is well-deserved.

The rest of the cast includes Marc Kudisch, Gavin Creel, "Frasier"'s Harriet Harris, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Angela Christian.

Among the rest of the stand-out numbers are "I Turned the Corner", "They Don't Know", "Long As I'm Here with You" and a hilarious Chinese version of "My Mammy" entitled "Mugin".

It looks like THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE will be firmly playing on Broadway for many years to come. (RCA).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must!, August 12, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)

To start this cd is terrific.It includes great new and old music.A mixture of popular 1920's jazz and operatic things.With the cd's great orchestration on the title song you'll be humming it in your sleep.Both the title song and "Not for the Life of Me" are heard frequently.Sutton Foster sings all her numbers beautiflly.Highlights of her numbers are "Forget About the Boy","Gimme Gimme",and "Jimmy"."The Speed Test" is an extermely comic number filled with tap dancing typists and office workers.Sheryl Lee Ralph sings her numbers ("Only in New York" and "Long as I'm Here with You")very well and has a powerful voice.Gavin Creel is a pleasure to hear as Jimmy singing the rakish "What Do I Need with Love" and the love song "I Turned the Corner".Last,there is the entertaining "The Nuttycracker Suite".Which is a jazz version of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.I feel this cd is a must for any musical theater lovers and great for those who like old-fashioned musical theater.

If you like musicals, you will NOT REGRET purchasing this musical soundtrack. JUST DO IT. It's so great, you will be listening to it forever. I also saw the show at the Kennedy Center in D.C. and it's one of the best I've ever seen. (And I've seen A LOT.)

Have Fun!
