"I've been a Broadway junkie for years and I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. It's such a pleasure to listen to professionally trained singers, not pop-star wannabees, tackle these songs. If you want to expose your kids to well-written music done by kids in the profession, this CD is a great way to introduce them to the world of Broadway. If you're already a theatre buff, it's a lot of fun to hear the selections they chose for this group of talented, not annoying, kids. There's even a couple of songs on the CD that I've never heard, and I've got quite a Broadway CD collection. As I write this I'm in the process of ordering one for my niece for her birthday. Get it for the kids in your life!"
