I went to go buy it on itunes and see that there are two different onces, same price- and most same music any thoughts?

I downloaded one of them (on iTunes), and I LOVE it. Esp. the songs that are NOT in the show, such as "Smile". I clean the house to this album! Superb! I'll look it up and post in a bit.

Edit: I think I downloaded the one with the blue cover. I think they're exactly the same, but the blue one has a reprise of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

???? I saw the show yesterday and am pretty sure I do remember Smile being in the show. Or am I mistaken?

I'm already forgetting, but didn't she do "When You're Smiling" in the show? Not "Smile" ("Smile, though your heart is breaking . . . ")

She did not sing Judy's arrangement of Charlie Chaplin's "Smile."

She sang "When You're Smiling" but she missed all the subtle humor of the patter section in the middle by making it desperate and frenetic.

Caroline O'Connor also did a Garland CD to coincide with her run(s) of End of the Rainbow. It's Called "Tribute to Garland" and can be purchased through her website.

Why not buy a Judy Garland CD instead? Why settle for an imitation?

It's like going to the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and saying, "Oh, look! The Eiffel Tower!"
