| "Soaring
and ravishing.... Fans of the 1991 recording knew the score was smart and funny,
but this new recording is also touching." - Billboard
"This
new version makes the piece seem fresher than ever." - Cleveland Plain
Dealer
"As
good if not better than than the original... there is a vitality to the performances
and to Paul Gemignani's music direction that makes Sondheim's songs even more
thrilling." - Oakland Tribune
"It
takes only one listen to this excellent recording to see why Stephen Sondheim
and John Weidman's musical took home five Tony Awards." - Dallas-Fort
Worth Star-Telegram
"Does this new [CD of] Assassins supplant
the worthy original? My answer, on consideration, is a definite yes."
- Steven Suskin, Playbill On-Line | |
