Music reviews of The Pirate Queen (2007 Original Broadway Cast)
Music Review: beautiful cd
Rating: 5 Stars
Confession, I've never seen the show. I
liked the cd, though. Though it has flaws, doesn't every musical? The music is good, and I would say to those who criticize it, "It sounds like Celtic woman, so you probably won't like them, either." The lyrics are good, except for Ra Ra Tip Top, because I'm not sure if it was intended for Lord Bingham to be comical. Stephanie J. Block is wonderful as Grace, and Hadley Fraser was equally good as her love-interest, Tiernan, even though Alain and Claude Michel took liberties with her personal life, as well as Grace's. Favorite songs are Woman, Woman to Woman, all Tiernan's songs, the prologue, Sail to the Stars, especially the Irish part, among others. The only song I don't like is Boys'll be Boys, though it's a bar song, sort of like Master of the House, as others have stated. All in all, a wonderful cd, and I can't wait for the dvd.
Description of The Pirate Queen (2007 Original Broadway Cast)
The Pirate Queen, with a score by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Sch?nberg (Les Mis?rables, Miss Saigon), took a critical beating when it opened on Broadway, but as this catchy cast recording demonstrates, that reception was really unnecessarily harsh. Set in the 17th century, the show (which closed after only 85 performances) tells the story of Grace O'Malley (Stephanie J. Block), an Irish ship captain and pirate who defied Queen Elizabeth I (Linda Balgord). The combination of that setting with the fact that the producers also brought us Riverdance means an overall Celtic flavor. But fans of Boublil and Sch?nberg should not fear. The duo delivers plenty of the over-the-top, super-emotional power ballads they're famous for--it's hard not to wonder what Celine Dion would make of songs such as "Woman" or "I'll Be There" (the latter sung by a man, but no matter!). Special kudos to Balgord, whose deliciously campy stage portrayal of Elizabeth I comes across well on "The Waking of the Queen," "The Role of the Queen," and two harpsichord-driven, vibrato-laden duets with Block, "She Who Has All" and "Woman to Woman." Also of note to fans of traditional singing is the participation of ?ine U? Cheallaigh (known from Riverdance) on several tracks. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
