Music reviews of Sweet Charity (2005 Broadway Revival Cast)
Music Review: Good Soundtrack for Musical Lovers
Rating: 4 Stars
This soundtrack is worth listening if you are a Broadway Musical Lover, the music has a modern beat but it keeps the original intention of Cy Coleman. "The Rhythm of Life" is the most updated song and it has been modified significantly... for good.
Although there is nothing spectacular about the voices, it is worth listening to Christina Applegate she does a good job personificating Sweet Charity and she sings just right.
The soundtrack includes 5 additional songs sung by Cy Coleman itself while he plays the Piano, I liked those a lot. Additionally, there is a never before edited verse of "Where Am I Going".
Description of Sweet Charity (2005 Broadway Revival Cast)
The best thing about this CD is the score: Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields's songs have lost none of their incisiveness over the years, and even a lackluster revival such as this one doesn't entirely succeed in dulling their edge. In the title role, Christina Applegate means well and tries hard, which isn't enough to make us forget Gwen Verdon, the powerhouse original Charity. Even "There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This," a showstopping number if there ever was one, shines like a 40-watt bulb when it should be 400. As Charity's paramour Oscar, Denis O'Hare gives a wonderful, multifaceted performance, though of course Oscar doesn't get songs--except for the welcome addition of "A Good Impression." While this production is adequate but no match for the original recording, fans will be delighted by the bonus tracks. Backed by a small ensemble, Coleman sings four 1963 demos, including an intimate, delightful "I'm the Bravest Individual." The composer also pairs with Fields for a live version of "Big Spender" recorded in 1972. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
