Not quite as good as on stage by John Sposato (Syracuse, NY, USA)  3 Stars
January 13, 2008
Word of mouth and buzz helped make "Menopause" a sleeper stage hit with middle-aged women. This CD is mainly sold at the theatres that book the show on the nights they're on in the lobby. This is the original cast (the usual case in this kind of release), so the end result can be different than of the actresses on the leg that perform in your area. Don't expect a bunch of female Weird Als or "Capitol Steps"/"SNL"/"Mad TV" types. The instrumentation is slightly amateurish, low budget, and weak. For "My Husband Sleeps Tonight", a parody of the cringey oldie "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", no credit is given to Solomon Linda, whose family fought for his recognition and residuals. Some parodies keep the same titles as the songs they lampoon, like Tina Turner's comeback "What's Love Got to Do with It?". That almost defeats the purpose.
Most men and younger women may not relate to the lyrics that Jeanie Linders wrote from experience. They refer to symptoms like hot flashes, ageing, night sweats, cramps, insomnia, mood swings, restlessness, binge eating, testy temper, becoming like their mothers; you name it! Then again, maybe some things we all might get! Because of the adult nature of these songs, I wouldn't play them around small children.
For the UK edition, Iowa Housewife becomes Rutland Housewife (Rutland could refer to Eric Idle's "Rutland Weekend Television", which makes some sense here), and the ladies meet at Mohamed Al-Fayed's world famous department store Harrod's instead of New York City's Bloomingdale's, and there are other regional variations around the world in contrast to the America-centric flagship. Hopefully, they'll all release their own editions.
There have been two annual sold-out residencies to date in my town (and maybe yours as well), and it's always a rave. Going to the show can't always be immortalised onto a studio recording.

Hilarious-it keeps me laughing! by SusanVette (Orlando, FL USA) 5 Stars
March 01, 2007
When you just seem to be having a bad day, pop this in and you're guaranteed to laugh. I laugh so hard my cheeks hurt. The words are hilarious. I saw the play, too, which makes the CD even funnier! I bought one for my car and one for my home. Every woman needs to either see the play, or listen to the CD. Truly funny as heck. It'll have you SMILING from ear to ear! You quickly learn the words so you're singing along and enjoying yourself! Ladies, it's inevitable, so find some humor in it. It'll help bring you through it, I'm telling you!

Recounting the rich history and reliving the timeless sounds of the phenomenal Frankie Vallie & The 4 Seasons, the new Broadway musical Jersey Boys answers the musical-and philosophical question, "How did four would-be wise guys from Newark, NJ, become one of the greatest chart-topping successes in pop music history?" Jersey Boys celebrates legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi who, as the 4 seasons, wrote their own songs, invented their...

| Aida (2000 Original Broadway Cast)
by Elton John, Tim Rice
For his second Broadway musical (and first time out writing a full show directly for the stage), Elton John certainly set his sights high by turning to one of the grandest of all operas as a source. His continued collaboration with lyricist Tim Rice has produced a work far closer to the agreeable pop style and formula of the team's Disney musical, The Lion King, than to the majesty and tragic passion of Verdi's opera. But the compelling tale of conflicting loyalties and star-crossed...

A Catered Affair, the new musical with book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, score by John Bucchino and direction by Tony Award-winner John Doyle, poses the question that inevitably faces every mother and daughter: whose wedding is it anyway? It's 1953, and family ties are strained when a Bronx mother struggles to give her only daughter the elaborate wedding she herself never had and the bride never asked for. Based on the 1956 motion picture of the same name, the production...
