Should I buy it? I am a big fan of Sherie Rene Scott. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on the Broadway Cast recording.
thanks,

Posted: 7/25/05 at 3:21pmi love this recording... i think all three of them perform the score really well and i really enjoy elton john's music that he wrote for this show... this is one of the most frequent plays of all my shows... i bought my brother the concept album as a present too... it's good, but the obcr is definitely the best!

Posted: 7/25/05 at 3:47pmWhat show won the Tony the year Aida came out? It wasn't nominated, correct? I'm not saying that to downgrade it, it's pure curiousity. In fact, I never saw it, never thought about it, and heard the recording recently. Kind of regretting that I didn't see it now!

Posted: 7/25/05 at 3:52pmI think Contact won the Tony award that year (2000). Wasn't a big fan of Contact...

The end.

Posted: 7/25/05 at 4:14pmIt's one of the worst shows I've ever seen. This is the litmus test- if you like "Scarlet Pimpernel" or "Jekyl and Hyde", you'd like Aida. Otherwise, save yourself the money.
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

Posted: 7/25/05 at 6:46pmAll three leads are powerhouses. I was lucky to see the original cast. Superb. The recording really captures the energy and passion of the live show.

Posted: 7/25/05 at 6:54pmI'd definitly say yes. An absolutely amazing cast and wonderful score and lyrics. It was the first time I'd ever heard Sherie Rene Scott and I fell in love with her on the first listen. It's an absolutely amazing cast recording.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

I didn't have much time before, but the cast is an absolute powerhouse. Every one of them. And the CD preserved the best thing about the show; its score.
One of my favorite things in the world to do is to turn the bass up on these really hardcore speakers I have in my house, turn off all the lights, and blast the CD when there's nobody else around. That music used to make the theatre shake. It was incredible.
