Advantages: saves you the theatre ticket price

Disadvantages: a fair bit of narrative to follow

I got this CD because of all the hype on Royal Variety, an Elaine Paige interview on radio two and the fact that my colleague went to see it and would not shut up about it.

I like musicals a lot, I don't always like 'jukebox musicals'

I put this CD on when was driving home and hated it. i couldn't dind a song I new. Well, apart from 'Oh What a Night' or 'Ce Soiree La'. the talk made no sense and I got bored.

My next car trip and put it on again. I skipped to 'Sherry Baby' and I was blown away, Then comes 'Big Girls Don't cry' and 'Walk Like A Man'.

This was turning into the best CD soundtrack of recent year.

If you've not seen the show you'll find it hard to get into. By the end of the CD you don't want it to end. hit after nit after hit. Did you know they sang Bye bye Baby, made famous by the Bay City Rollers? Or 'Can't Take My Eyes of of you'?

the genius in this album is that the guy playing Franky Valli sounds like him. You soon block out the narrative and realise the songs are brilliant. By the end of the CD you want more. 'Who Loves You Baby?' is a great finale and i can imagine on stage shouting for more and more and more. At least here you can hit repeat.

It's great value two i got this and one other soundtrack for £10 in a deal at HMV. I think it should have been £8.99

This is one of those albums that grows on you...................and stays with you.

Summary: wonderful songs as they should be sung
