Jesse Green: Great Broadway musicals must feature great songs, but not all the great songs are found in great musicals. That’s why I collect cast albums: There are obvious gems and hidden ones. To explore that range at the end of a generally fine and unusually eclectic Broadway season, I picked a song from every show that received a Tony Award nomination in any category. (The exception: “Pirates! The Penzance Musical,” which will record its New Orleans-inflected Gilbert and Sullivan score after the awards are doled out on CBS this Sunday.)

I can't imagine wanting to  listen to those really horrible orchestrations and new lyrics again. This is a revisal that should be forgotten as soon as possible.

I had a great time at the show and look forward to the cast recording.

I have the previous Broadway version as well as more classic versions of the score, so I'm happy to have this one. Looking forward to having David Hyde Pierce's version of Modern Major General. I think the rest of the revised score would benefit from another hearing. I enjoyed it in the theatre and would love to hear it again.

The arrangements are terrible and the lyric changes even worse. It sounds lie something you would hear on Lawrence Welk show. Elevator music at its worst.

I love New Orleans-style Jazz, and I love Pirates of Penzance. I also love steak and vanilla ice cream. Doesn't mean I want them on the same plate.

I enjoyed this production, but the recording seems kind of...inert? Even the up-tempo numbers don't have much energy

If you haven't caught onto the fantastic YouTube channel And Now They Sing, they just put out this video about the evolution of Pirates, from original opera to 1980 revival to 2025 revisal.
