I enjoyed this cd very much. This recording has something for everyone. Motown (my strongest suit), soul, gospel(the gods love nubia), rock(fortune favors the brave), pop(A Step too Far), and classic broadway love songs(enchantment passing through, elaborate lives). The album has a great sense of flow from one song to the next, and the story is not very hard to follow, either by listening to the lyrics or reading the synopsis inside the booklet. I am NOT a fan of elton john, but i found the music very entertaining. Whether you like disney, elton john, tim rice, broadway, or just plain good music, there is a strong chance that you will enjoy this cd as much as i did. Buy it!!!!
