Wicked

Wicked (2003) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

Although best remembered for the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum's series of early 20th century novels about the fairyland Oz have inspired a number of theatrical and cinematic adaptations, beginning with a Broadway musical version of The Wizard of Oz for which Baum himself provided the libretto and lyrics that opened in 1903, ...

Jersey Boys (2005) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

The success of the musical revue Smokey Joe's Café, which ran on Broadway between 1995 and 2000, and the book musical Mamma Mia!, which opened on Broadway in 2001 and was still running in the fall of 2005, led to a string of so-called jukebox musicals in which pop music catalogs of various performers were recycled in a theatrical context. Many of ...

South Pacific [Original Broadway Cast]

South Pacific [Original Broadway Cast] (1949) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's fourth musical, South Pacific, was based on several stories in James A. Michener's book Tales of the South Pacific, specifically two that dealt with wartime romances complicated by racial issues.

Camelot [Original Broadway Cast] [Remastered]

Camelot [Original Broadway Cast] [Remastered] (1960) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

Camelot, a musical based on the Arthurian legend, reunited most of the creative talent that produced My Fair Lady, including lyricist/librettist Alan Jay Lerner, composer Frederick Loewe, and leading lady Julie Andrews. Lerner had once again found a story that conformed to his favorite theme, a romantic triangle involving an older man, a younger ...

The Lion King [Original Broadway Cast]

The Lion King [Original Broadway Cast] (1997) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

The stage production of Disney's hit film The Lion King isn't drastically different, musically, from the film, adding only a couple of new, unremarkable songs. For dedicated fans of The Lion King, this recording is worthwhile -- the performances are strong, confirming the strength of several of Elton John's songs -- but most listeners will be ...

by Original Broadway Cast

Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita, which began as a concept album in 1976 and had its first stage incarnation in London in 1978, finally came to the U.S. in 1979 with a production that opened in Los Angeles and moved to San Francisco for multi-week engagements before landing on Broadway on September 25 to begin a Tony-winning, 1,568 ...

Les Miserables [Original Broadway Cast ]

Les Miserables [Original Broadway Cast ] (1985) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

Originally conceived as a simple recording production, Les Miserables evolved quickly into one of the premiere theater events of the 1980s. Theatrically on par with Phantom of the Opera, Les Mis is drawn from the Victor Hugo novel of the same name. The story chronicles the life of Jean Valjean, a simple Frenchman arrested as a youth for stealing a ...

Hair [Original Broadway Cast]

Hair [Original Broadway Cast] (1968) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

Hair was both celebratory and anticlimactic at the same time. Heralded by many at the time as being a rejuvenation for musical theater, it was also supposed to "speak" for the youth. The problem with that is that any time you attempt to allow a piece of written work to speak for a generation, it invariably fails. It is undoubtedly impossible for ...

Annie [Original Broadway Cast] [Remastered]

Annie [Original Broadway Cast] [Remastered] (1977) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

Annie, the popular musical about the little red-headed orphan with a shaggy dog named Sandy, first opened in 1977. The character, however, originated in a comic strip -- Little Orphan Annie, which ran during the depression. The character of Annie has always been a favorite with audiences, and combined with an extremely charming and catchy score by ...

The Music Man [Original Broadway Cast]

The Music Man [Original Broadway Cast] (1957) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

The original Broadway cast of Meredith Willson's most successful musical was headed by Robert Preston, who played the part of Harold Hill, a conman who breezes into an Iowa town and tries to sell the inhabitants on non-existent boys band equipment. Willson concentrates on percussive effects and rapid-fire spiels for Preston, though the musical ...

Caroline, or Change: A New Musical (2004) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

More of a pocket opera than a conventional musical, Caroline, or Change is the work of playwright Tony Kushner and composer Jeanine Tesori. The plot, which concerns a black maid in a Jewish home in Lake Charles, LA, in the fall of 1963 and her relationship with the family's eight-year-old son who absent-mindedly leaves change in his pockets, might ...

Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

It has been observed that Broadway has long since become a group of virtual repertory theaters in which revivals of successful musicals from decades past rule the roost. The next-best thing to an outright revival, perhaps, is a "new" show based on old material and employing at least some of the old music. The Producers, the hit of the 2000-2001 ...

Rent [Original Broadway Cast] (1996) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

Songwriter/librettist Jonathan Larson's musical Rent caused a considerable stir in the spring of 1996 -- a stir that included multiple Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for drama, and an open-ended run on Broadway -- because it succeeded in synthesizing a range of popular music styles while telling a story full of contemporary concerns including ...

The Drowsy Chaperone (2006) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

Stage musicals of the 1920s have been the subject of affectionate satire in more recent stage musicals at least since 1954, when The Boy Friend opened in London and New York. So, the idea behind The Drowsy Chaperone isn't exactly new. The only aspect of the idea that is new is the framing device. The curtain goes up on the present-day New York ...

Little Night Music [Original Broadway Cast] (1998) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

One of Stephen Sondheim's better-known works, A Little Night Music is inspired by the Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night. The story follows the intertwining of several imperfect relationships, leading to a satisfying resolution (as a romantic comedy should). Sondheim's score is sublimely evocative, invoking the mysticism of an early ...

West Side Story [Original Broadway Cast] (1957) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

West Side Story is one of the greatest musicals of all time, effectively blending Broadway with a symphonic grandeur (courtesy of Leonard Bernstein, who put music to Stephen Sondheim's lyrics), accents from jazz and Latin music, and a rarely heard (in Broadway) toughness on classics like "Jet Song," "America," and "Cool." The 1957 original ...

Cats [Original Broadway Cast] (1982) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic Cats takes its characters from T.S. Eliot's book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Though the book contains no narrative structure, Webber has created one, although what drew audiences to the theater in droves was the charm of the feline characters, not the tale of what happens to them. The score is rather fetching ...

Seussical: The Musical (2001) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's first three Broadway musicals, Once on This Island, My Favorite Year, and Ragtime, each suggested by its subject an appropriate style of music to employ, and to a large extent, they followed the material, writing island music, 1950s-style pop, and ragtime as required. For their fourth musical, Seussical, based on ...

A Chorus Line [Original Broadway Cast] [Bonus Tracks] (1998) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

Michael Bennett's 1975 valentine to "gypsies," the dancers who are often treated as so much mobile scenery in Broadway musicals, is sometimes considered to have broken new ground with its frank portraits of talented but frustrated performers. The score by Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban is a favorite of "theater people" everywhere, but was ...

Company [Original Broadway Cast] [Bonus Track] (1998) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast

Stephen Sondheim's award-winning 1970 outing Company, like most of Sondheim's work, is highly acclaimed by theater-goers, critics, and Sondheim's peers. Essentially a musical about nothing, Company chronicles the thoughts and remembrances one man has about his friends (five married couples) as he hesitates outside the door, about to walk in on his ...

1776 [Original Broadway Cast] (1969) more music like this

by Original Broadway Cast Recording

1776 is a rather odd concept for a musical, chronicling the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It works better than it should, however, in that it gives life and character to these immensely famous names whom everyone has learned about in history class. Despite it being the tale of the Congress, the two strongest songs are saved for ...

This tribute to burlesque was a star vehicle for Ethel Merman. The score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim includes the Merman standard "Everything's Coming Up Roses," and the song that is invariably used to introduce anything having to do with the strip tease, "Let Me Entertain You." A 702-performance hit in its original production (which is ...
