Not quite that bad....,
By Corey James (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Working (Audio CD)
While I agree that this double CD is pretty poorly presented and packaged (which is unfortunate given the cost), it does have some different songs than the original Bway cast (e.g. the reprise of "Hey Somebody") and the cast includes folks like Harry Groener (best known for "Dear John" but also an experienced Bway singer/actor). There is absolutely no question that the original Bway cast is better performed, better packaged, and a better value -- BUT if you like that CD and want to explore the show more, you will find something of interest here.

Dreadful.,

This review is from: Working (Audio CD)
No reason to get this with the OCR back in print (with bonus tracks). These discs include dialogue (I guess that is the only plus). No liner notes, lyrics etc. Cheesy presentation.

A good recording of a great play,
By Francis P. Reed - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Working (Audio CD)
While I like the original 1978 soundtrack, the songs in it are a little dated at this point. This recording not only is an update of the original show, but is the complete play, spoken and song, which I think works better. I think you get more from the music, when you hear the dialogue that was written to be spoken with it as well, and the performances are very good.I bought both this and the original at the same time. I think I will probably be listening to this version while the other will end up in the CD collection. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
