My 3 year old daughter and I listen to this in the car all the time. The live show is so much fun as is the movie. She loves "Hey Mama Welcome to the 60's". My husband can even stand it and on a long car ride it's a life saver. I prefer this OBC recording over the movie soundtrack. Lot's of fun for everyone.
Harvey Fierstein (Edna) sounds like a Heavy cigarette smoking T-Pain. I received this a a gift. I love the 2007 movie musical and the 1988 original movie. Her voice is a lot better on Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now : The 2007 movie edition. Given the fact that I've never seen the play and that the cast of the 2007 movie have better singing voices, I think I'll Stick with 2007 movie musical soundtrack. So when I got it, I gave it a try.
She sounds good. I've never seen the broadway play with this cast, So judging their acting, I can not do. The only decent voice is Mary Bond Davis (Motormouth Maybelle Stubbs). The 2007 movie cast has much better vocals. Marissa Jaret Winkour (Tracy Turnblad) sounds so babyish, it's something I can not give a second chance. But the other cast members do not.
The singing voices by this cast are just plain horrible
love the music , is great hearing the original interpretation , dont get me wrong loved the movie, really impressed with travolta's "Edna" but the show stopper "You can't stop the beat" should not have been re-arranged , is very pale compared too the OBC , as well as the missing songs from the show
It taught me about segregation in that time era and following your dreams. The singing was fantastic. That MotorMouth Maybelle can really blow when she sings.
This is a great cd but there is only one thing I don't like about it. John Travolta did alot better. That is Harvey Fierstein. I don't think he did a good job. But that is not enough reason to give it 4 stars. STILL GREAT.
