Yes this is Some of the Best of Broadway!This CD from Decca Broadway is a wonderful selection of some ofthe "Greatest Hits" of the Broadway stage.

This CD from Decca Broadway is a wonderful selection of some ofthe "Greatest Hits" of the Broadway stage. Decca and Sony havedone an excellent job of remastering the various recordings, someof which still show some of their age, but come across quitewell. Are there a lot of songs that I would have put on thisdisc? Yes, but the ones on here are good choices. I may have toget a copy of the Five disc set and the DVD's just to see if anymore of my favorites made it on the list. What this disc seems totry to do is show the evolution of the Broadway song from it'searly days to the present. It succeeds quite well I think.If you enjoy Broadway theater this CD is a must!

Dissapointing..This soundtrack was only dissapointing to me because some of the tracks I looked most forward to hearing I didnt care for. I did not like Marissa Jaret Winokur's version of Good Morning Baltimore-it sounds way too whiny, and Jill Hayworth's version of Cabaret is nowhere near the passion of Liza Minnellis.
