CD Reviews

Terrific Score from Rupert "Escape" Holmes

AJK | Chicago, IL | 06/24/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Rupert Holmes (famous for his #1 hit "Escape") does an excellent job with his first theatrical score, the Tony-winner "Mystery Of Edwin Drood". The show, based on the unfinished book by Charles Dickens, is basically a whodunit, with multiple endings based on each audience's preferences. The cast, headed by Betty Buckley, George Rose, Cleo Laine and Howard McGillin, is terrific. The score is fast-moving & fun!

Best tracks include:

There You Are [the terrific opening number]

A Man Could Go Quite Mad

Two Kingsmen

Moonfall

The Wages Of Sin

Both Side Of A Coin

Don't Quit While You're Ahead

Finale: The Writing On The Wall

This score may not be filled with theatrical standards, but the songs are generally excellent & merit repeat listenings."

"Speaking as someone who performed in this show, having all of the various endings on one album is wonderful. Rupert Holmes creates a great satire on Victorian England, makes fun of the racism and abundance of hypocrisy that made it famous, all the while presenting sometimes beautiful and haunting, sometimes silly and energetic music. Patti Cohenour uses her beautiful soprano voice with Howard McGillin in "Moonfall" and "The Name Of Love/ Moonfall Reprise" to great effect, and her duet with a post-Cats Betty Buckley as Edwin Drood "Perfect Strangers." George Rose does wonderfully as the energetic and sometimes condescending Chairman, as does Cleo Laine as the "servicable" Princess Puffer"
