When I first saw the film I thought it was a great movie and loved the music in it!! I have now been lucky enough to see the Musical in the West End of London - and, in my opinion, it is twice as good as the film!!... The show is non stop tapping from beginning to end with great acting and superb music!! The music is fresh and vibrant, funny and emotional and just great to listen to again and again!!
As soon as the CD became available, I bought it and began listening to it straight away!! I have to agree with other comments made that it just grows and grows and grows on you. Any one who loves the film will love the CD from the Musical version.

I saw the show in London in early February, mainly because I loved the movie and am an old fan of Elton John. But even non-fans will probably react as I did. The show was terrific and won me over in leaps and bounds; I'd love to see it a couple more times (and I frankly don't care much for musicals, with this surprising exception). The cast recording is hugely effective in recreating the play you've seen, and, I imagine, anticipating the one you have yet to see or may never see. The biggest surprise, however, is Elton's music, which really does not make a big splash at first listen--those who have criticized it have surely not given it time to grow on them. But grow it does! It invades and overwhelms you by repeated ambush if you hear it over and over again. This is, after all, what recorded music is all about, and recorded musicals, I suppose, as well.

I'm lucky enough to have gone to the west end musical, and i cannot begin to describe how amazing it is. The acting is breathtaking, but the music is just indescribable. I've been to many West End shows, including Phantom of the Opera and Lion King, but in my opinion, none have songs so emotional and beautiful is these.
I went to see the show two months ago, and i still haven't got over just how spectacular it was.
This music is among the best in the world. You're missing out if you don't buy it.

Great CD!
I have seen the show and that cd brings it back everytime I listen to it! There is a story line through the songs and small episodes so you can get a feeling about the background... Read more

A fantastic soundtrack - my wife and I went to see the show recently in London and loved it! Not the same cast but a great soundtrack to remind us of that evening. Read more

Great
It's just what you expect it to be - all the songs from the show. Brings memories of the show straight back though you have to adapt to a different cast from the latest of course.
