Title: Too bad 'The Best of All Possible Candides' is already taken...
Review: Seriously. A DVD of a musical written by one of the best musical theater composers (or composers, period, for that matter) with the music performed by one of the best orchestras in the world (the full-size New York Philharmonic, rather than what today would be the inevitable 12-person pit orchestra) with the revised and much truer-to-Voltaire book and starring at least two of the best all-around musical theater performers working today. As the DVD itself indicates, typically finding a Cunegonde who can hit all of the low and high notes usually means finding a humorless opera singer who isn't at all believable as a love interest. Thank you Kristen Chenoweth for being one of the exceptions to the rule. And thank you Leonard Bernstein, Lillian Hellman, Tyrone Guthrie, Harold Prince, Barbara Cook, Stephen Sondheim, Hugh Wheeler, and all the others who have brought 'Candide' to this current, excellent form.
