Posted: 3/16/06 at 9:32pmWhile the revival is, for me, an example of a recording that's better than the actual show, it still isn't that good--get the OBC.

Yeah, I love this show but the revival recording is just not good. I love the OBC. For Topol, though, I prefer the London recording over the movie soundtrack.
