Is it worth getting? I like the original (can't stand Mandy Patinkin), and I am really thinking about getting the new version as a different take. So, whatcha think? And yes, I know there are multiple threads, but I couldn't find them.

Posted: 10/11/06 at 5:04pmAlthough I will always and forever love the OBCR, this recording is WELL worth purchasing. It includes a lot of the dialogue that did not make the Broadway recording and I personally find the use of different accents fascinating. While Bernadette and Mandy will always be the definitive Dot and George for me, the London cast is absolutely superb. I was able to listen to a different cast and not miss anything from the original; that is saying something.

it's a magnificant recording.
As much as I hate to say it, Jenna Russel and Daniel Evans blow Mandy and Bernedette out of the water.
I adore it

Posted: 10/11/06 at 6:35pmWonderful recording of a superb production. Daniel Evans totally owned the role, his acting is superb in real life- a absolute talent (and cute!)

Posted: 10/11/06 at 7:38pmVery well worth it - like I was hearing it for the very first time. I'd love to say that of all the Dot/Maries, I enjoyed Audra MacDonald's at Ravinia the best - sad to say no recording, though.

Posted: 10/11/06 at 8:17pmJenna Russel is wonderful, but a little shouty for my taste. She takes some getting used to, but the arrangements are glorious.

Posted: 10/11/06 at 11:20pmHighly recommend it. Hopefully we'll be able to see this on Broadway sometime soon.

Absolutely wonderful cast recording!
And Jenna Russell came in my shop tonight; I think it's pretty cool she got the only server in the shop who actually had any idea who she was. But less cool that I'm a bit of an idiot and couldn't think of anything suave to say to her. XD

Posted: 10/12/06 at 4:11pmI most definitely recommend it! Not only is Daniel Evans a far superior George than Mandy Patinkin, in my humble opinion, but the whole cast is wonderful, period! It's also nice to have dialogue to bridge the songs together.
Stop looking at my charisma.
