 | Jesus Christ Superstar (Original London Concept Recording) [Read More ...]
Description: It may not have been the first rock opera (the Who's Tommy was released in 1969), but Jesus Christ Superstar was a legendary album long before it hit the stage, thanks to Tim Rice's compelling book and lyrics combined with Andrew Lloyd Webber's irresistible music. Telling the sto... |
 | The Lion King (1997 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: An Oscar win might suggest a score that would need a miracle to be bettered--but this colorful stage adaptation of Disney's The Lion King does so with flair. Composers Mark Mancina and Lebo M worked closely together to fuse the movie's many disparate elements. Where there was a v... |
 | Jesus Christ Superstar: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album [Read More ...]
Description: This 1974 Norman Jewison film may have been a critical misstep, but some fans actually preferred it to Broadway's rock spectacle. The thing is, Jesus Christ Superstar was first introduced as a two-disc rock opera, not unlike the Who's Tommy, as it even scored several Top 40 hits.... |
 | Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1992 Canadian Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat completed the transition from cantata for schoolkids to big-budget glitzfest with Steven Pimlott's 1991 London revival. Here's the 1992 Canadian version of that show, and even if it's not an ideal re... |
 | Disney's Beauty and the Beast: The Broadway Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording) [Read More ...]
Description: Way back in 1991, many of us saw the single-handed salvation and revival of the old-fashioned American-style Broadway musical comedy. True, it was in the form of a feature-length Disney cartoon, but Beauty and the Beast had it all: a wonderful, tuneful score (including a huge hit... |
 | Aida (2000 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: 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... |
 | Evita (1978 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: Evita was Andrew Lloyd Webber's last show with Tim Rice before he went on to projects with less interesting collaborators, so it's no surprise that it remains his most consistently involving and rewarding work. Loosely based on the life of Eva Peron, the charismatic wife of post-... |
 | Evita: The Complete Motion Picture Music Soundtrack [Read More ...]
Description: Evita was finally filmed in 1996, 20 years after its initial incarnation as a studio-bound rock opera. In between, of course, it was one of the most successful and long-running musicals on either side of the Atlantic. Given such a long history, the film might easily have been a ... |
 | Chess [Read More ...]
Description: Chess is a musical that sounds like it shouldn't work but instead succeeds surprisingly well. This is the original concept album that was recorded before the musical was staged in London. Chess is the story of a love triangle told against the backdrop of an international chess to... |
 | The Lion King: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Read More ...]
Description: 2004 reissue includes a newly remastered version of the 1994 soundtrack with one new song written & recorded by Elton John & Tim Rice ('The Morning Report') as well as a remixed version of the Elton John hit 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'. The bonus disc ('Rhythm Of The Pridelan... |
 | Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1982 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: It's well known that Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice cut their teeth on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat before shifting to the New Testament and hitting the big time with Jesus Christ Superstar. And thanks to the box-office clout of Lloyd Webber, as well as the rath... |
 | The Road to El Dorado [Read More ...]
Description: Apparently, if you ask Elton John to provide songs for the soundtrack to your movie, you'll get more than you bargained for. In this case, much more. Only 5 of the 11 tracks are used in this animated film about 2 swindlers searching for gold in 16th-century Spain, meaning 6 bonus... |
 | Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1993 Los Angeles Cast) [Read More ...]

 | Evita: Music From The Motion Picture [Read More ...]
Description: The songbook is familiar to a generation of theater-goers. Antonio Banderas is at least as good a singer as John Travolta was in Grease. And there are three star turns from the Material Girl--the celebrated "You Must Love Me," as well as "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," and "Anothe... |
 | Jesus Christ Superstar [Read More ...]
By far the best version:This is the best of the JCS albums - the original with its funk still in tact. |
 | Jesus Christ Superstar (Highlights from the 1971 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar is most familiar from its original concept recording or film soundtrack, so it's a long-overdue treat to have the 1971 original Broadway cast finally available on CD. It's a great listen, anchored by Ben Vereen's powerhou... |
 | Chess (1988 Original Broadway Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: It was a success in London but a bomb in New York in 1988, but Chess's cult reputation has only grown over the years--quite a feat for a dramatic musical about love and cold war politics at a chess tournament! While Tim Rice's lyrics aren't too shabby, Chess owes it all to the te... |
 | Aladdin [Read More ...]
Review: Great soundtrack, sadly EDITED and CENSORED!:I was very excited to get this album since I lost my CD many years ago, but I was already saddened 30 seconds into the Arabian Nights song where he they censored out "where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face" with some ... |
 | Jesus Christ Superstar (1974 Film Soundtrack) [Read More ...]
Description: A film from a play from an album from a song by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice, this production had a most unusual evolution. Its life as a stage show began in New York in 1971; the London version opened the next year and ran for 3,358 performances. Norman Je... |
