I hate to burst your bubbles, folks, but THAT ORCHESTRA SUCKS. It sounds like one of Tams Witmark's "reduced band for small productions"; there's no bottom to the sound and the melodies sound like they're being played on a Kenner Close-n-play. And the new orchestrations? Pathetic Las Vegas schmaltz. The majesty is missing, the melodies are missing, THE THIRTIES IS MISSING.
This is not a revival, it's a reduction.

Posted: 5/23/13 at 10:41amGeez this is overly produced dreck. Is this the final mix? The orchestra is so loud and sound sparse... The accents are painful to listen too, cringe-worthy... Andrea McArdle is smiling somewhere right now lol.
