Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I'm sorry but I don't like this edition Comment: I received this a a gift. I've never seen the broadway play with this cast, So judging their acting, I can not do. I love the 2007 movie musical and the 1988 original movie. So when I got it, I gave it a try. The 2007 movie cast has much better vocals. Marissa Jaret Winkour (Tracy Turnblad) sounds so babyish, it's something I can not give a second chance. Her voice is a lot better on Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now : The 2007 movie edition. Harvey Fierstein (Edna) sounds like a Heavy cigarette smoking T-Pain. The only decent voice is Mary Bond Davis (Motormouth Maybelle Stubbs). She sounds good. But the other cast members do not. Given the fact that I've never seen the play and that the cast of the 2007 movie have better singing voices, I think I'll Stick with 2007 movie musical soundtrack. The singing voices by this cast are just plain horrible Customer Rating: Summary: music is fine , shipping was a pain Comment: love the music , is great hearing the original interpretation , dont get me wrong loved the movie, really impressed with travolta's "Edna" but the show stopper "You can't stop the beat" should not have been re-arranged , is very pale compared too the OBC , as well as the missing songs from the show Customer Rating: Summary: educational and entertaining Comment: It taught me about segregation in that time era and following your dreams. The singing was fantastic! That MotorMouth Maybelle can really blow when she sings! Customer Rating: Summary: Great cd but.... Comment: This is a great cd but there is only one thing I don't like about it. That is Harvey Fierstein. I don't think he did a good job. John Travolta did alot better! But that is not enough reason to give it 4 stars! STILL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Can't stop the beat! Comment: I absolutely love this one. It's been ages since I last heard a CD on which I've become hooked! The whole score is fun, fresh, sassy, emotional... and irresistibly funny. In my modest opinion, I think this is the stuff musical theatre should always be full of... I didn't really know Marc Shaiman's work until now... but this is amazing. The tunes are catchy and witty, and the cast does a great job in bringing them alive on this CD. I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested at all in musical theatre. More Reviews
