Product Description
Un incontournable québécois
En accouchant de Starmania avec Michel Berger, Luc Plamondon a mis sur pied la mère des comédies musicales francophones. Mélodies intelligentes, textes adroits, interprètes judicieusement choisis, tous les ingrédients sont au rendez-vous pour faire du disque une réussite résistant à l’usure du temps.

Starmania a connu un succès foudroyant. Plusieurs générations d’interprètes se sont frottés à l’œuvre de Luc Plamondon et Michel Berger. L’opéra rock a fait école depuis sa création sur scène en 1979, et légué à la chanson francophone plusieurs “hits” portés par de grandes voix.
Starmania, version originale relate, en chansons, la fameuse histoire d’amour de Marie-Jeanne et Ziggy dans un univers futuriste. Si les arrangements semblent un peu dépassés aujourd’hui, surtout pour les titres plus rock, les mélodies sont toujours aussi prenantes. “Le blues du businessman” colle à la peau de Claude Dubois qui utilise ici le registre étendu de sa voix, tandis que Diane Dufresne exulte magnifiquement dans “Les adieux d’un sex symbol”. On retrouve également avec plaisir le charme sucré de France Gall, l’aplomb rock de Nanette Workman, la belle voix mélancolique de Fabienne Thibeault qui a créé “Le monde est stone”. Un classique qui ravira tous les amateurs de chanson. --Diane Jean

Prophecy Fulfilled?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Starmania 94 Mogador (Audio CD)
Luc Plamondon writes about the perfect distopia in "Starmania", a world where all is the same, people wear their numbers on their backs, and everyone is a stranger. Michel Berger puts his dark lyrics to music that sets them off as the jewels they are. Luce Dufault, Bruno Pelletier, and company perform the songs with verve, telling the story of life, love, and loss in Monopolis, a city not all that different from many we all know and daily survive. Even for those whose French is rusty or non-existant, the performance alone is worth the price.

THE ORIGINAL CAST ALBUM,
By ALAIN ROBERT (ST-HUBERT,QUÉBEC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Starmania, version originale (Audio CD)
STARMANIA is one of the few classics among the FRENCH musicals.Many versions with different singers are available,but this is the original with GALL,DUFRESNE,THIBEAULT and BELAVOINE.The future versions of the show will be more flamboyant and theatrical.The first collaboration between LUC PLAMONDON the lyric writer from QUÉBEC and MICHEL BERGER still hits home ,with it's futurist theme of the teléévangelists invading our lives and the need to breath in non polluted environnement.Many singers from QUÉBEC have started their careers with the revivals of this show.The songs are so well known in QUÉBEC, that most of us know them by heart,which i think tells a lot about it's non stop success over the years.

STARMANIA!,
By "arlingtonbookstore" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Starmania 94 Mogador (Audio CD)
This show features some of the strongest voices ever to perform STARMANIA. It certainly features the cleanest orchestrations.Since it is one of the few recordings of STARMANIA done in a studio, the words of the songs are intelligible by English speakers with even minimal French skills. I teach Theatre and French in a high school and always do a Unit on STARMANIA/LES MISERABLE and MISS SAIGON with my second-year French students (all of these are by French composers) and my students unanimously perfer this recording to any of the others. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Starmania is an amazing passionate musical,
By Austin C. Beeman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Starmania 94 Mogador (Audio CD)
I stumbled upon this musical when living in France and was blown away. The music is amazingly beautiful and the voices are incredible. There is such passion in the ballads, which is where this CD really shines. All of the slow songs remind me of smoky bars and sultry torch songs. Forget Phantom of the Opera, this is the true music of the night.Great, even if you don't speak French. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

An excellent chef d'oeuvre, a must listen,
By eatesler@superonline.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Starmania, version originale (Audio CD)
I've never listened a rock-opera like Starmania, rarely had a feeling of such compatibility of the sound with lyrics. Thanks a lot for both Michel Berger and Luc Plomondon. Also all the french & french-canadian singers and Daniel Balavoine for their unforgettable participation.
