Sheer Brilliance!, 16 Jul 2005
Drew Carey is the leader of high caliber comedy. The cast of actors who are part of his show make a good thing even better. Carey is truly gifted. He can sing, dance, act and make you laugh so hard you are wiping tears of laughter out of your eyes. He does not disappoint with this collection either. The selection of songs is wonderful and makes you feel as if you have been treated to a night on Broadway. The very moving "Since I Gave My Heart Away" is the only departure from comedy and laughter, but still wonderful in its own right. The entire show is pure joy, a true delight. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, long established comedienne (Saturday Night Live in the early-mid 1980s and later "Seinfeld") is at her peak performance on this one. She is an extraordinary singer which, surprisingly exceeds her comedic ability, which is quite high. She belongs on Broadway! Brent Spiner also adds fun and laughter to this ensemble. As for Drew, let's raise our glasses to Drew Carey! He can sing, dance and act and he is one of the FUNNIEST people I have ever seen! He is brilliant! Nobody could have done the role of "Toymaker" as well as Drew Carey. I think he is a kind man at heart and his gift of laughter has proved that many times. Just get this collection. You will be glad you did. In addition to laughing so hard it hurts all over, you will enjoy the music as well. It's a win-win deal, so just go get this!
