Excuse me, Broadway Giant, but after 6 months on this board, why are you even asking this question? TL5Y has been discussed again and again, always in the most glowing terms. Where have you been???

I've never heard it, but if my friends are right (which would be a first...j/k) it's wonderful. Besides, you can't go wrong with Nobert and Sherie.

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

Butz, Scott and Brown, all together.

Why are you asking this question?

Silence seemed the only way. Now I understand it's cost.

L5Y is like my favorite CD--of all time. It'a actually great to listen to while doing something working out or cleaning...makes the time fly by. The story is wonderful, the music's wonderfu, the performances are wonderful, and the whole thing's wonderful.....

Yes! I love it! Note the icon <--- I have never heard of this happening on the boards before. I think we are unanimous.

This show is amazing. The music is brilliant. I saw a performance of the show, there's hardly any talking in the entire show. But the CD is definitely worth buying.

I don't know the ages, life situations, etc. of any of the other posters, but I can tell you as someone who's been married for about 5 years that JRB really hit the nail on the head with this one. The music's fun and catchy and immediately likeable, but he's also able to convey the sentiment of Sondheim's "Sorry/Grateful" and look at the emotions in greater depth. I can't tell you how many disagreements with my wife have left me thinking "Don't we get to be happy, Kathy? At some point down the line don't we get to relax without some new tsuris to push me yet further from you?" At the same time, I can't count how many times I've turned to her and commented "Have I mentioned today how lucky I am to be in love with you?"

There are so many beautiful moments there. "The Next Ten Minutes," a wedding proposal in the show, was the first song I sang to my daughter the night she was born.

In short, this is a CD that you will never regret buying. You'll listen to it over and over, never skipping a song, and finding it better with each hearing. I also recommend getting Lauren Kennedy's solo album of JRB songs to hear another spin on a few numbers.

Wow, I just bought this in part because of the raves in this thread. And can I say I have not been so happy with listening to popular opinion as this ever!
It has so much humor and heart, the emotion is great. Sherie and Norbert are just fantastic. I can hardly imagine not having these songs in my life before.
Its everything I love about music, literature and theatre and acting all in one place.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.
