Title: Not what I expected
Review: I really enjoy most of the music that I have heard from Andrew Lloyd Webber when I listened to them on an old CD with the same title and the same songs. I was especially fond of "Any Dream Will Do" sung by Donny Osmond. I finally actually played this CD on a trip and was VERY disappointed that they had replaced Donny Osmond with another singer because I really liked Donny's rendition of this number. If you a version with Donny Osmond, make sure you check out the description and the artists BEFORE you purchase the CD. I still like the music so I will keep the CD in spite of my HUGE disappointment.

Title: Best collection I've found!
Review: This Broadway Collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber tunes is the best I've found. It contains a wide selection of songs from many of Webber's most popular and beloved theatre productions. As an added bonus (compared with other collections I've come across), the songs are performed by the artists we associate with them. For example, "Memory" from "Cats" is sung by the incomparable Betty Buckley. Another fine example is "Phantom of the Opera" dueted by Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford. Barbra Streisand even makes an appearance with "As If We Never Said Goodbye." This is a fantastic collection with something for everyone!

Title: The Best One-Disc Andrew Lloyd Webber
Review: This is the best mid-priced Andrew Lloyd Webber collection I could find. Just one disc, it covers nearly thirty years of Webber's musicals. All the shows you'd expect are represented. The most memorable songs are included, usually taken from original cast recordings. The selections are organized chronologically and with their shows. It's not very complete, if you're a hardcore Andrew Lloyd Webber fan. There are more expensive sets for the collector. This is just an overview. I'm not a Broadway expert, so this CD suited me just fine. It wasn't too expensive and it had all the hits I was looking for. Other small collections (one or two discs) had different versions of the songs (from revival casts, I guess), which I didn't like as much. I just wanted an inexpensive overview of Andrew Lloyd Webber's greatest hits (instead of buying the entire Cats recording just for "Memory" and "Mr. Mistoffelees", or the Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat recording for "Any Dream Will Do"). This album was right for me and if you just want a song or two from each show, it could be right for you.[Note: I bought this with Ultimate Broadway, which is a pretty good 2-disc overview of Broadway in general. That CD features a few Andrew Lloyd Webber songs, including versions of "Memory" and "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" that differ from the ones on this CD. Together the two CDs make for a good general survey of Broadway musicals for the novice or casual fan.]

Title: Best of Andrew Lloyd Weber
Review: I first heard this CD while driving my daughter-in-law's car on vacation.She's a great fan.I had been looking for one of the tracks for a few years but didn't even know which Show it had been from. There it was, suddenly ringing in my ears! I was enraptured.The entire CD is a wonderful thing to listen to and my very young granddaughters especially love the Cats song "Mr. Mistopheles".
