The live show is so much fun as is the movie. My 3 year old daughter and I listen to this in the car all the time. Lot's of fun for everyone. I prefer this OBC recording over the movie soundtrack. 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.
But the other cast members do not. The only decent voice is Mary Bond Davis (Motormouth Maybelle Stubbs). The 2007 movie cast has much better vocals. 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. Her voice is a lot better on Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now : The 2007 movie edition. I received this a a gift.
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. Harvey Fierstein (Edna) sounds like a Heavy cigarette smoking T-Pain. The singing voices by this cast are just plain horrible I love the 2007 movie musical and the 1988 original movie.
Marissa Jaret Winkour (Tracy Turnblad) sounds so babyish, it's something I can not give a second chance.
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
That MotorMouth Maybelle can really blow when she sings. It taught me about segregation in that time era and following your dreams. The singing was fantastic.
John Travolta did alot better. This is a great cd but there is only one thing I don't like about it. STILL GREAT. But that is not enough reason to give it 4 stars. That is Harvey Fierstein. I don't think he did a good job.
