Anna Karenina does justice to Tolstoy." -- Newhouse Newspapers "Heartbreaking and hilarious ... sensuous and sweet." -- Pioneer Press "Broadway is lucky to be illuminated by the distinctive glow of Melissa Errico." -- New York Times "Errico displays a giddy exhilaration too rarely seen onstage." -- USA Today "The mastery of [Errico's] performance comes in the way she's able to keep two powerful emotions in play at once, whether in speech or song." -- San Francisco Chronicle * New orchestration by the composer! * Full forty-eight-piece orchestra includes strings from the New York Philharmonic. * An all-star Broadway cast includes Tony Award nominees Melissa Errico, Brian D'Arcy James, and Jeff McCarthy, as well as Drama Desk nominee Kerry Butler and Tony Award nominee Gregg Edelman.

This is a good listen and I'm glad to have it. Rating:  - Just AwfulI got tickets to see this musical when it was on Broadway. But my tickets were for two weeks after it opened and by then it had closed. Judging from the score, I'm glad I didn't get to see it. What I don't understand is why it was recorded. |
