5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift From the Musical Theatre Gods, September 12, 1999

By	P. Elzie "Babe With Books" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This series of books is absolutely wonderful. It forces singers of all ages to break away from those two or three songs or musicals they know very well and perform these other songs in THEIR key (not some odd key from a collaboration book). This also makes songs easily accessible if you don't necessarily know any Sondheim, etc. I feel everyone should own one or more volumes of this collection (in their vocal range, of course). The only thing that stinks is the larger your range, the more money you end up spending!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome! Exactly what I needed!, October 31, 1998

By A Customer

My mom got this for me for Christmas last year and now it's the only book I use when I am auditioning for my highschool and community theatre. It's got so many great songs, and they're all in just the right range!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic, Comprehensive & Entertaining, April 1, 2001

By	"mialie" (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology: A Collection of Songs from the Musical Stage, Categorized by Voice Type: The Selections Are Presented in Their (Paperback)

The Singer's Musical Theatre Anthologies have long been respected as a line of well-chosen solos, especially for higher voices. Reaching far into the depths of musical theatre history, Richard Walters assembles pieces for every possible occasion: from the well-known "Les Misérables" to the classic "Gypsy" and "Oliver!" to such new musicals as "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and "The Secret Garden". The selections are not all designed for blasting, nor are they all love songs - Walters establishes a comfortable and interesting balance between the two extremes. Each of the volumes contains vocal/piano score in the original keys, however some editions contain condensed orchestral scores. I wholly recommend this entire series, if not for audition purposes, for just personal enjoyment!
