Album Description: Curtains is an entertaining play within a play, as well as a "whodunit" new musical comedy featuring one of the last scores by legendary, Tony Award-winning songwriters John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago, New York, New York). Starring David Hyde Pierce (Spamalot, "Frasier") and Debra Monk, the Curtains original Broadway cast album is produced by nine-time Grammy Award-winner Jay David Saks.
Rating: - I love Jason Danieley
I bought this because of Jason Danieley. "I Miss The Music" gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears - every time. The CD was worth it for that song alone.
Rating: - Curtains is the best
I am a big fan of Kander and Ebb. I especially like Ebb's way with lyrics. Unfortunately, since Ebb has died, this really is "curtains" for their collaboration. This is the best K&E production I have ever seen, especially with the original cast. It is hilarious, romantic, typical theater attitudes, and a happy ending. Debra Monk is the best performer, but the character of "Bambi" has to be seen on stage to truly appreciate her dancing ability. David Hyde Pierce sings and dances better than I would have expected.

Rating: - Gotta Love Broadway!
Lovers of Broadway will appreciate thaat the Musical genre' is alive. Here is a refreshing "new" work, with a clever story and a great cast. Buy the cd & then see the show! You'll leave the theare with your toes a tappin'.

Not the best of Kander & Ebb, but "Show People" still knocks your socks off... and it transfered to the CD beautifully. Hearing the music won't ruin the ending and it gets you ready to follow along or relive the energy.
Rating: - Good cast, bland score...
The cast recording of "Curtains" features a score by John Kander and the late Fred Ebb (with additional material by Rupert Holmes) that is just too bland-- especially given the songwriting team's track record. Tony-winner David Hyde Pierce and a gathering of Broadway pros perform admirably on disc and the orchestra is lively, but most of the tracks had me bored within about thirty seconds. The story involves a murder mystery behind the scenes of a terrible musical and the investigation by a show business-loving detective (Pierce), whose love of theater gets in the way of solving the crime. It's a ... Read More
