Title: Hmm...Not so sure on this one.
Review: I am a huge Sondheim fan. Don't get me wrong, but this is not what you think of when you think of Sondheim.The performers are fine. The musicians are fine. But "Frogs" is an amateurish, uninspired, and uninteresting piece of theater. Maybe it's just because I'm just listening to it on disc, but on this CD, it's not good. "Hymnos:Evoe" was a good song though, I must say, if only for the "Evoe...Alalai Alalai" section, which stuck in my head for days.The reason I give this even two stars is that the songs from "Evening Primrose" are decent and got me going at the end of the CD and that there are some moments in "The Frogs" that shine.If you're a Sondheim fan, I highly suggest you go with "Into the Woods," "Company," or "Follies," which happen to be my favorites. The new recording of "Into the Woods" is especially enjoyable with Vanessa Williams as the Witch, as is the original recording with Bernadette Peters.
