Thrilled to report that JAY Records (www.jayrecords.com) has been receiving raves for their current CD versions of two musicals which I co-wrote:  the all-star TALES OF TINSELTOWN (music: Paul Katz) and the complete reissue of CHARLOTTE SWEET (composer: Gerald Jay Markoe):

“Hollywood is a hoot in the winking, wonderfully wacky musical-comedy treat titled Tales of Tinseltown. Peppy pastiche and smartly silly satire make the score an uber-entertaining romp." - Rob Lester, Sound Advice / Talkin' Broadway
 

"Charlotte Sweet is one of that increasingly rare breed: an original musical.  Delightfully unusual show. Felicitously, Colby’s well-crafted, playful and engaging words are matched by Markoe’s tuneful and often darkly jaunty melodies.  Tales of Tinseltown is a happily daffy romp from the start of the picture to “The End.” An album in the classic Goddard Lieberson style, presenting the songs as both standalone tracks to be savored and integral parts of the score as a whole." - Joe Marchese, theseconddisc.com
 

“JAY Records has recently released two lively musical theater recordings that highlight the career of lyricist and librettist Michael Colby.  Both showcase Mr. Colby’s accomplished and joyous talents.  Charlotte Sweet is a whimsical musical, an exuberant experience. Tales Of Tinseltown is a bouncy and affectionate pastiche of 1930’s Hollywood. Paul Katz’s music is a giddy amalgam of old-time movie musical melodies. Colby’s lyrics contain a great deal of fast-paced patter, expert rhymes and appealing intricacy.” - Darryl Reilly, Critic, www.TheaterScene.Net


Gratefully, Michael Colby ([e-mail]; www.michaelcolby.com)
