Negative Positive
Title: "Kate" doesn't Sing.
Review: I read several lukewarm reviews of this CD, thinking that I would feel differently -- how wrong I was.I saw this production on B'Way -- and while it isn't exactly fresh, it made up for its staleness with pure old fashioned B'Way showbiz schmaltz -- lively performances, and enthusiastic orchestrations provided for a fun and snappy experience.Sadly, none of it translates onto the CD. Even with the immensely talented cast, the cd sounds at worst limp and choppy, and at best, merely adequate -- Even the showstopers come across as perfunctory (and with this show, that's saying something!)I'm sure there is an amazing recording of this show. The 1999 cast album isn't it.
Is the review positive or negative?
