I bought this as a Christmas gift. A friend and I saw the live performance some time ago and I couldn't believe my luck in finding this CD. She loves it! The quality of the recording is great! If you have seen the live show this will bring back all of those wonderful memories!
This is a great cd and everything I was expecting. I saw the this musical on stage recently in London and this cd brought it back to life for me. It was in great condition and if you love Buddy Holly and rock and roll music this cd is for you...
This has got to be the best musical in the world! I learnt the story through my mum's CD before I even saw the show. When I did eventually get to see it I was so happy to be there that I cried during the first scene which is actually quite upbeat! I love the music so much I will be walking down the aisle to 'The ceremony' in July. That is why I bought the CD, to play at my wedding. Buy a copy for yourself and see the show, you won't be disappointed!
This is a re-write of the musical Madame Butterfly and is set in Vietnam. It's basically about a young soldier who falls for a young girl in a time of great conflict in the country. He leaves for home and she has a child and waits for his return so they can be together but he marries and knows nothing of the child. When he returns, he finds out, but the only way the young girl can get the young man to take their child with him is to kill herself, which she does. It's a very emotional musical which reminds us of several important facts about the Vietnam War that alot of people want to forget but shouldn't, the children that came about from affairs are not to blame for their existance but deserve respect from both sides. it's a love affair that was doomed from the beginning but was great while it lasted, a mother love that goes to the very extreme to give her child a better and safer life. I never tire of this CD, i never got to see the show but from the lyrics and music feel as though i'm there watching, listening and feeling the atmosphere, not many CD do that so i think it's a must have for all musical lovers.Read full review
