Title: A Thousand Times Is Not Enough
Product review: As a huge musical theater buff, I am always wiling to try new shows, especially shows that not a lot of people have heard of. Sometimes the result is less than terrific, but every once in a while a show comes along that makes me giddy I took a chance. That show would definitely have to be The Last Five Years. I have listened to this show over and over and I still get new things out of it. It has generated discussion about life and love and is THE best thing out there now. Jason Robert Brown has crafted an AMAZING story that is biting and powerful. The lyrics are gut-wrenching and poignant. The music is beautifully orchestrated and haunting. Sherie Rene Scott redeems herself after her less-than-peak performance on the Aida cast recording. Norbert Leo Butz' performance will make you hate his character, but admire his ability. All in all, the next show I invest in must be PERFECT if it will replace The Last Five Years as my favorite cast recording.
