what is up with it!?

the reviewer gave the revival of Man of LaMancha with Stokes Mitchell 0 Stars!?

Maybe i'm just too nice, but i think that's a pretty good album!

I disagree with a lot of the reviews in there. I wrote to Peter Filichia about it, who I correspond with regularly, and he said that reviews were given out based on who wanted them. So for example, he LOVES The Grass Harp, so fought to be the one to write the review. Some of the shows went un-championed or were given to people who asked for them and didn't like them, so you have to take some of those reviews with a grain of salt. If I remember right, NONE of the Les Mis recordings are given good ratings -- whoever it was who rated them (the book is upstairs somewhere, so I can't look it up at the moment) didn't like the show nor the CDs. I don't think that's necessarily the smartest way to review CDs in a comprehensive guide (a comittee vote and average should have been done), but we have what we have...
