...treat for any musical theater fan (as well as any fan of music or drama, for that matter). It preserves the entire score of the show, along with great portions of the dialogue. The recording also boasts a particularly compelling cast. Though Patti Lupone’s thick British accent is less than endearing, the diva is in strong voice as the duplicitous Mrs. Lovett. Neil Patrick Harris, all grown up from his teenage doctor days, is endearing and sweet-voiced as Tobias, while Davis Gaines gives Anthony first-rate treatment with his lush baritone...
Fifteen of the 100 islands are inhabited, and each one offers a slightly different aspect of Shetland (and a different accent).

Says Tomei: "All you have going for it is the passion, the belief in it, the zeal to be there every...

And of course it’s tailored to a certain mood—like cruising down a nearly-empty highway, with only a harmless-looking Ford Expedition for company. But it’s also an entertaining and uniquely American art form, written in the language of our vast country— the language of pickup trucks and open roads, of cowboys and honky-tonk bars...
