Rating: 3 stars
Summary: No Documentation
Review: I am very disappointed in the packaging and the lack of documentation. They should have included the track listings and any documentation that has been included in the individual DVD packaging. I was especially disappointed that on the Royal Albert Hall performances where there is no listing of the songs, which show they are from and who is performing them. I was hoping to find a track listing here at Amazon but I have not found one yet.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Must-have for ALW fans
Review: My two pence worth:

CATS: not my favorite ALW musical but I found this version enjoyable for its superior cast. God's not fair--to some he gives both singing AND dancing talent. Loads of such double talent in this production.

SUPERSTAR: interesting, updated production, fabulous voices. Shorn of its 60s/70s hippie trappings, it effectively re-engages you in the message of the lyrics.

JOSEPH: at first I thought--Donny Osmond, UGH! YUCK!--but he's surprisingly appealing in this production.

ROYAL ALBERT CELEBRATION: my only peeves (and reason for 4 instead of 5 stars) are 1) the total absence of Michael Crawford (Music of the Night is sung competently but not brilliantly by Antonio Banderas) and 2) a few too many titles from ALW's least successful work, Whistle Down the Wind.
