I have seen this show 56 times to date and absolutly adore its cast recording - oozing emotion , power and talent the london cast recording provdes musical cliche number such as "cat and the moon" but also almost operatic tracks such as"lothlorien" and "wonder" written by the Sweedish band Varttina. These tracks are all performed by a highly talents cast from musical stars such as Laura Michelle Kelly (Mary Poppins, Whistle Down The Wind) and Jerome Pradon ( Napoleon , Jesus Christ Superstar) to stunning newcomers such as James Loye, Peter Howe and Rosalie Craig. Overall this is the one soundtrack to "rule them all !!" > 3 Comments
