Well, this is one interesting album. If you love the film, or the music, or anything at all: STAY AWAY! Well, actually let me say, this is probably the only nice thing you'll hear me say about this album: THE JITTERBUG is amazing. I have actually been in productions of OZ that emulated this arrangement to great effect. Other than that, this album is horrible. Jewel yodels OVER THE RAINBOW. Jackson Brown...ugh...I myself have played the role of the Scarecrow...and he just degraded a role which I love so much. Roger Daltry...stick to THE WHO. Nathan Lane, actually not bad. Joel Grey, good Wizard, but liked him in the role better in WICKED. I would only suggest this album for one reason: THE JITTERBUG.

If you haven't seen this concert benefiting the Children's Defense Fund originally broadcast on TNT and available on VHS, you will definitely want to after listening to this soundtrack. Jewel is enchanting as Dorothy, taking 'Over the Rainbow' and making it her own. Roger Daltrey as the Scarecrow brings his rock edge in a rousing rendition of 'If I Only Had a Brain'. Nathan Lane is hysterical as the Lion, paying homage to Bert Lahr with 'If I Were King of the Forest'. Natalie Cole as Glinda puts a gospel spin on 'Open'. The one weak part of the cast is Jackson Browne, but the overall production is wonderful for the eye and ear.

I think the major stars on this, Jewel, Debra Winger, Natalie Cole and Jackson Brown, are fabulous. I was really disapointed in the Harlem Boys Choir. They do hit some great notes, but then the great notes are followed by some really flat ones. I've heard them in other recordings and thought they were great, but they are not at their top on this CD. But if you are a 'Wizard of Oz' fan, the rest of the CD makes up for them.
YOU MUST BUY THIS CD IF U ARE AN OZ FAN June 28, 2003

Our local Drama group is performing the "Wizard of Oz (RSC)" for our summer production and as Musical Director I thought I'd get as many different versions of each song as possible. Most of the RSC songs do not appear in the film version so i thought i'd add this cd to my collection. All the songs have been modernised without loseing their still traditional feel. The cd is worth buying alone for Roger Daltreys' (The Who) version of "If I Only had a Heart". All star cast inc Natalie cole (miss you like crazy and pink cadillac) and Nathan Lane ( voice of "snowbell" in Stuart Little) and a load more older names that your parents will recognise more.
a must buy

I got this CD as a present from my mom for getting good grade's on my report card, so she ordered it for me. After waiting 5 day's, I finally got the CD. When I listened to it, I knew what to expect b/c I have The Wizard of Oz in Concert on video. I LOVED THIS CD!! Jewel's acting, and 2 renditions of "Over the Rainbow" and "The Jitterbug" will blow you away! She was pefect as Dorothy. Jackson Browne as the Scarecrow, Natalie Cole as Glinda the Good Witch, Debra Winger as the Wicked Witch, and Roger Daltrey as the Tin Man were excellent too. And Nathan Lane was HILARIOUS as the Cowardly Lion This CD is a must buy for Oz fans and Jewel fans! :)
