The live show is so much fun as is the movie. My husband can even stand it and on a long car ride it's a life saver. Lot's of fun for everyone. My 3 year old daughter and I listen to this in the car all the time. She loves "Hey Mama Welcome to the 60's". I prefer this OBC recording over the movie soundtrack.
The singing voices by this cast are just plain horrible Her voice is a lot better on Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now : The 2007 movie edition. I've never seen the broadway play with this cast, So judging their acting, I can not do. Marissa Jaret Winkour (Tracy Turnblad) sounds so babyish, it's something I can not give a second chance. She sounds good. But the other cast members do not. I love the 2007 movie musical and the 1988 original movie. The 2007 movie cast has much better vocals.
Harvey Fierstein (Edna) sounds like a Heavy cigarette smoking T-Pain. 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. I received this a a gift. So when I got it, I gave it a try. The only decent voice is Mary Bond Davis (Motormouth Maybelle Stubbs).
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
The singing was fantastic. It taught me about segregation in that time era and following your dreams. That MotorMouth Maybelle can really blow when she sings.
John Travolta did alot better. I don't think he did a good job. STILL GREAT. This is a great cd but there is only one thing I don't like about it. That is Harvey Fierstein. But that is not enough reason to give it 4 stars.
