"I've never listened a rock-opera like Starmania, rarely had a feeling of such compatibility of the sound with lyrics. Thanks a lot for both Michel Berger and Luc Plomondon. Also all the french & french-canadian singers and Daniel Balavoine for their unforgettable participation."

"STARMANIA is one of the few classics among the FRENCH musicals.Many versions with different singers are available,but this is the original with GALL,DUFRESNE,THIBEAULT and BELAVOINE.The future versions of the show will be more flamboyant and theatrical.The first collaboration between LUC PLAMONDON the lyric writer from QUÉBEC and MICHEL BERGER still hits home ,with it's futurist theme of the teléévangelists invading our lives and the need to breath in non polluted environnement.Many singers from QUÉBEC have started their careers with the revivals of this show.The songs are so well known in QUÉBEC, that most of us know them by heart,which i think tells a lot about it's non stop success over the years."

"This is a cd version of the 1978 Canadian success & it plays well. However, I still have the cassette version and strange as this may sound, the quality seems a little bit better. Nevertheless, the quality of the cd version is still good after all these years."
