Music reviews of The Full Monty: The Broadway Musical
Music Review: Finally, A Broadway Musical *I* Can Like!
Rating: 5 Stars
When I was growing up, my older brother & sister, who were both heavily into their drama classes in high school, drove me friggin' NUTS by playing nothing but showtune music on their respective stereos. Showtunes, showtunes, showtunes, that's all I ever heard playing in the house as a young boy. Maybe that's why I can't stand typical (*cue Ethel Merman*) "Broadway Shooooooow!" kind of music. It just sounds way too corny & cheeseball to my ears, and it's simply not music that I would want to buy, much less listen to. I'm a rock 'n' roller, baby!That's why I'm so thrilled with David Yazbek's wonderful, ROCKING score for the stage musical version of the movie, "The Full Monty," which I had the great pleasure of seeing recently (MARVELOUS show, by the way). Yazbek's songs, blending pop, rock and jazz (with a little pinch of salsa and barbershop vocals, too), are catchy & memorable, with really clever, sometimes-hilarious lyrics that totally hit home. Yazbek's songs totally add something special to the already-endearing story of six unemployed steel workers who bare it all for some much-needed cash & self-respect. I can't get songs like "Scrap," "Big-Ass Rock," "You Rule My World," "Big Black Man," "The Goods," or "Let It Go" out of my head! Even the ballads, like "Breeze Off The River" & "You Walk With Me," are beautiful. Yes, the songs are THAT good."The Full Monty," one of my all-time favorite movies, has now been adapted into one of my all-time favorite musicals, and in no small part to David Yazbek's wonderful, rockin' tunes on this Broadway cast album. Let it go! :-)
Description of The Full Monty: The Broadway Musical
The Full Monty - The Broadway MusicalWe braced ourselves when we heard that a musical version of the popular movie The Full Monty was in the works--recent movie adaptations have not exactly set new quality standards for Broadway. While Terrence McNally did a fine job with the book (transferring the action from industrial England to Buffalo), special kudos should go to newcomer David Yazbek, who wrote a versatile and gloriously fun score. A million miles away from the higher brows of a Michael John LaChiusa or an Adam Guettel, Yazbek's sensibility is unabashedly pop. His songs serve narrative purposes but are also the kind of tunes you can sing in the shower. And the cast gleefully sinks its teeth into Yazbek's rock/pop/funk score: Emily Skinner is hilarious on "Life with Harold, and André de Shields positively steals the show with "Big Black Man." Finally, a new show where you're not ashamed to enjoy yourself. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
