Title: for collectors only!
Review: I bought this CD because I'm a fan of Sondheim in general, and especially of Woods. However, after seeing the revival production twice, I knew this was going to be one step down from the original cast recording, but I had high hopes.Alas, even in the studio, this cast cannot come near to competing with its successor. The only cast members who hold their own are Laura Benanti and Kerry O'Malley, and even then, it's difficult sitting through the other performances. If you don't know the show yet, by the Original Cast Recording! The only thing you'd get out of this one would be the few changes that have been made-- if you really want to hear those, make sure you get the other recording as well!
