Broadway buffs, don't miss this, 1 Aug 2010
By William D. Bandes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hallelujah Broadway [Multi-Region] (2010) [DVD] [US Import] (DVD)
I saw "Hallelujah Broadway!" on our local PBS station as part of pledge break. Since I am already a member of the station, I did not want to pay the big bucks to get the DVD as a "premium." This DVD will knock you out of your seats, it's so good. They have collected some "unknown" but fantastic singers, along with a great orchestra in a knockout setting, and they give you some of the best of Broadway show music. It's absolutely a "don't miss." You won't be able to leave your seat until the very end!

If You Love Music, You Need to Get This DVD..., 13 Aug 2010
By Kathryn E. Etier "Miss Bob" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hallelujah Broadway [Multi-Region] (2010) [DVD] [US Import] (DVD)
Think about inspirational, uplifting songs from Broadway musicals, and what comes to mind? Jesus Christ Superstar? Godspell? Yentl? Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat? Maybe Fiddler on the Roof or The Sound of Music?Have you ever emerged from a Broadway theater feeling you had a religious experience, whether the play dealt with spiritual themes or not? The man who produced The Irish Tenors, Bill Hughes, has put together a spectacular show that includes numbers from "Godspell, Oklahoma!, West Side Story, Sound of Music, Billy Elliot, Rent, and Wicked among others!" EMI/Manhattan Records will release Hallelujah Broadway on CD and DVD September 14. It is an amazing production.
Filmed and recorded in Prague at the Church of St. Simon and St. Judah in February 2010, Hallelujah Broadway features three soloists: Rodrick Dixon (tenor), Alfreda Burke (soprano, Chicago Symphony), and Anthony Kearns (Irish tenor). Also featured is Broadway veteran, Linda Eder. They are accompanied by the Prague Filmharmonic Orchestra and Choir.
Although Hallelujah Broadway begins with "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord" from Godspell, the emphasis is not on religious songs, but on songs that are inspiring, rousing, and stirring. "I'll Be Seeing You," a song that has inspired lovers for oh-so-many years, is a good example of a secular song with strong emotional content; here it is beautifully, powerfully rendered by Anthony Kearns.
Dixon, Burke, Kearns, and Eder provide incredible vocals, elevating such well known songs as "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'," "What I Did for Love," "Climb Every Mountain," and "You'll Never Walk Alone" (Burke's exceptional performance, backed by the Choir). Dixon's interpretation of "Somewhere" imparts new importance to this West Side Story classic.
There are over 20 songs performed on the DVD, and the quality of the production is impressive.
While many live performances lose something when recorded, Hallelujah Broadway is a gem. Seeing the show live must have, indeed, been an extraordinary experience. This is not just "show tunes," Hallelujah Broadway is an experience to which fans of serious music, as well as Broadway classics, must treat themselves.
Bottom Line: Would I buy/rent/stream Hallelujah Broadway? Buy, for sure. The real question is, "Am I willing to let it out of my sight?" Sorry, friends, no borrowing this one; buy your own.

A Must See and Hear, 13 Sep 2010
By TexasTraveler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hallelujah Broadway [Multi-Region] (2010) [DVD] [US Import] (DVD)
I attended the live production and taping of Hallelujah Broadway this year on a cold February night in Prague. The warmth of the church with this awe inspiring cast made all forget about the bitter cold outside. The lights, the orchestra, the chorus and of course the fantastic soloists gave me as well as the entire audience an unforgettable night that can now be cherished on CD and DVD. This DVD and CD soundtrack is a must for any musical theater enthusiast! Keith from Dallas
