Does anyone have any of them. I was thinking of getting the Bernadette one, is it worth it?

They are all compilations of previously released material, taken mainly from cast albums. If you don't have the cast albums (and don't plan on getting them) I suppose they would be wrth it.

I have the Angela Lansbury one on order - I'll let you know what I think of it when I've had a chance to listen to it a couple of times.

Okay...
How many will there be?
I know of:
Angela Lansburg
Bernedette Peters
Barbara Cook
and
Chita Rivera

I think I read there is a Mary Martin.

Anyone know if they are going to do any others?


"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Seriously, I just got Peters' and Lansbury's. They both have an excellent selection of important and carreer-defining songs, but as JoeKV said, if you already have all the albums, there is no point to buying them, and if you have most of them, you are better off just buying the whole Cast Recording of the select show you don't have.
