BEST COLLECTION OF BROADWAY SONGS

By A Customer - January 16, 2001

THIS BOOK IS THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF BROADWAY CLASSICS I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE LIST OF SONGS, GO TO ... AND SEARCH FOR THE TITLE. THE BINDING IS A SPIRAL BINDING WHICH HAS THE TENDANCY TO FALL APART AFTER USE (I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE). IT HAS MANY OF THE POPULAR THEMES FROM CLASSIC BROADWAY SHOWS AND THERE ARE GOOD ARRANGEMENTS OF MOST OF THESE SONGS. I WOULD SAY IT IS AN SLIGHTLY ADVANCED PIANO LEVEL. I USE THE BOOK FOR THEATRE ORGAN AND THERE'S PLENTY OF SPOTS FOR IMPROVISING AND REARRANGING. I DON'T KNOW OF A BETTER BOOK OF BROADWAY CLASSICS IN PUBLICATION, SO I GIVE IT A 4 OUT OF 5 (BECAUSE OF THE BINDING PROBLEM I HAD)

Truly Definitive

By A Customer - July 8, 2000

I bought this book years ago on the request of my vocal coach. It has proved to include most of the classic songs from broadway that a singer in the musical theatre could hope for. A few downfalls are that the more obscure songs are not likely to be found in this collection, and songs from more recent productions are not included. I think Les Miserables is the most current inclusion in this collection. To conclude, however, this is a great source for all the traditional great broadway classics, and I would highly reccomend it.

Great all-encompassing collection of Broadway songs!!

I'm a voice and choral teacher and I have been looking for just one collection of Broadway music that includes "staple" Broadway songs. This book has all my favorites and the kids love to sing them: Joseph, Evita, Wicked, JC Superstar, Phantom, etc. A fantastic collection in one book - this book is a necessity in any music library.
