The cd doesn't really give away the "plot" if that's what you're worried about.

Its really good... I bought it because Im going to see the show on June 28th and its really good... In the beginning of the CD it give the synopsis of the story which is alittle confusing but still a great CD.

No, it doesn't give away the plot at all. Just don't read the synopsis in the booklet.

Speaking of the synopsis, that is a pretty humorous plot.

I bought it just 'cause I love Elvis, and it's quite enjoyable. I like in the way I like the Mamma Mia! CD even though I didn't care so much for the show. The songs are just fun and it's fun to hear them in a different arrangement.

I like the CD and think it's better than the actual show. No motorcycle angels or dancing statues.

The arrangements by Stephen Oremus make the Elvis songs sound fresh and new, especially the glorious Act 1 finale of Can't Help Falling In Love. As to Jenn looking still looking like a girl, well, it's based on Shakespeare, and the audience is expected to be in the joke (we can see she's a girl but no one else can't). I'm seeing it on Wednesday!!!

The arrangements are great.

The comedy and the way the show makes fun of itself is not apparent in the CD - he way people break out in song, the staging (obviously), etc.

On the CD it sounds like a regular jukebox musical - but after the show you will see how great it is.

I've seen the show three times: once at Goodspeed and twice in New York. There were no flying motorcycles at Goodspeed, of course, but I guess the thinking is that people paying Broadway prices want to feel as if they're getting their money's worth in terms of spectacle. It's a fun show, and the cast, headed by Cheyenne and Jenn, does a terrific job. I just played the cd again a little while ago and echo the comments posted earlier that the arrangements are terrific. The "Can't Help Falling in Love" Act I finale is beautiful.

I saw the show with my school in April. Much like Hairspray I wanted to get up and dance in the aisles at the end. I'm actually listening to the CD right now. It's a good CD for working out cause its sooooo hyper.

PS: I personally enjoyed the dancing statues. They kind of scared me cause I thought they were real statues, not people in body makeup.

cathywellerstein~ you saw Justin Bohon.. he's been on for like 3 weeks becasue Curtis was injered (word is he'll be bcak this week) but Bonhon, while being diffent then Crutis is very good in the role.. he brings a little more of a sweetness to Dean I liked his take on the role.. But I like Curtis in the role a lot to. :)
