Songs For A New World (1996 Original New York Cast) Jason Robert Brown, one of musical theater's brightest young composers, made his first New York splash in 1995 with Songs for a New World at the WPA Theatre. It's a revue of 16 of his cabaret and theater songs, directed by Daisy Prince (Hal's daughter) and realized by a crack ca...	Curtains (2007 Original Broadway Cast) Sadly, Curtains is the final entry in the long and fruitful partnership of lyricist Fred Ebb (who died in September 2004) and composer John Kander. While the show doesn't reach the heights of the team's previous masterpieces, such as Cabaret and Chicago, it's certainly a lot bet...	Wicked (2003 Original Broadway Cast) One of the most common complaints about musicals is that the books are flimsy pretexts from which to hang numbers. Wicked runs into the opposite problem: it has a great plot, but too often the songs just get in the way. Based on Gregory Maguire's novel of the same name, Wicked te...

Legally Blonde (2007 Original Broadway Cast) Like Wicked, this show is a girl-friendly extravaganza; the main difference--and it's a big one--is that the score of Legally Blonde is better.

Grey Gardens - The Musical Based on the Maysles brothers' cult 1975 documentary of the same name, this musical is an endearing—-and sometimes genuinely heartwrenching—-oddity propelled by Christine Ebersole's exceptional, for-the-history-books performance.

Seussical: The Musical (Original Cast Recording) Seussical: the Musical, which is based on Dr. Seuss's beloved characters, made the news even before its Broadway opening, as tales of disastrous out-of-town tryouts multiplied and creative turmoil abounded.

Schwartz' masterful and talented, exemplary music and lyrics
I have been fortunate to be in two productions of Children of Eden. This CD is wonderful. Though some of the music is not as the score is written, (eg.Stranger to the Rain is 1/2 step lower in the score)This music is the kind you wake up hearing in the middle of the night. Who can be in this cast and not tear up when you sing "In the Beginning" The snake is a masterpiece, we rocked the house with Aint it good, and Generations...what clever placement after the death of Eve at the end of actI. I have seen Wicked a few times and love it too, but Children of Eden means more to me and I think Stephen Schwartz is brilliant.

Children of Eden
This show is wonderful!!!!! I was looking for the full cd not just highlighted songs and this cd was it!!! VERY HAPPY!!!

Children of Eden CD
I have been delighted with this CD. Product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. A wonderful soundtrack. So glad I bought it.

Excellent recording
This is a wonderful representation of "Children of Eden." The music is powerful, and the actors are wonderful. Highly recommended for anyone who is a fan of the show or of Stephen Schwartz musicals.

Diverse music that grows on you
I was in a production of Children of Eden and did not like the music at first. It definitely grows on you and is extremly moving at times, especially the finale "Children of Eden". My favorite though is "Ain't it Good" which I hated when I first heard it. Very good show but remember it is a show and don't get into theological discussions about it's suppossed misrepresentations of the Old Testament. It's fiction and doesn't propose to be anything else.
