Customer Reviews

They seek him here, they look for him elsewhere, etc.
I have never had the pleasure of seeing this show on Broadway, but simply listening to this soundtrack gives me at least some idea of how awesome the show was when performed live.

Frank Wildhorn is one of my favorite Broadway composers, he's right up there alongside ALW. The songs are filled with energy, adventure, and all sorts of emotions, you can't help but get swept away, especially in regards those who lend their voices to these incredible songs: Douglas Sills, Terrance Mann, and Christine Andreas.

Every song is simply a delight and they reflect the story exceptionally well. It is a true swashbuckling story filled with passion, intrigue, and loads of laughs.

"Madame Guillotine" is one of my favorites, as it is filled with the ripe madness and furvor of the French Revolution as the citizens worship the instrument of destruction, the guillotine.

"Into the Fire" is another one of my favorites, a rousing anthem to raise the spirits of bravery and courage, a fitting battlecry as Percy and his friends decide to take it upon themselves to save the lives of the innocent in Paris. Wonderful stuff.

"Falcon in the Dive" is an awesome song as sung by Chauvelin as he deals with the various thoughts and feelings that plague him in his duty to hunt down the Pimpernel and maintain order as a servant of the revolution.

"The Scarlet Pimpernel" is definitely awesome because it is an ensemble song dealing with the various rumors about who the Pimpernel is. Some of them more outlandish than the last.

"The Creation of Man" is one of the funniest songs as it deals with Percy and his friends singing about how it is the duty of the aristocratic male to uphold the banner of well-tailored fashions.

I could go on and on, but basically every song on this album is excellent. Do yourself a favor and get this record, and get your hands on the concept album as well. Both are really awesome.

Christine Andreas, Terrence Mann and an underrated score
THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL made history as the first Broadway musical to be re-tooled and re-cast during its run, following scathing reviews and waning box-office. This album features the original Broadway cast, headed by the lovely Christine Andreas.

Frank Wildhorn's score contains a veritable treasure-trove of delights including "Where's the Girl?", "The Creation of Man", "The Riddle", "You Are My Home", "When I Look at You" and "Only Love". "Storybook" looks set to remain a constant in the repertoire of every self-respecting cabaret singer.

The cast includes Terrence Mann (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST), Douglas Sills (LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS) and Christine Andreas (OKLAHOMA!). THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL is a fine musical and is worthy of a production that will do full justice to its sparkling score.

Christne Andreas, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR VIBRATO?
Dearest Christine Andreas,
If you ruin another show with your stupid vibrato, I will personally send a large, dead fish to your home in the care of a large Italian-Polish man named Guiche. He will slap you repeatedly with it until you promise him you'll go see a voice teacher. A GOOD voice teacher.

Also...this show just blows in general even though it's definately one of Wildhorn's better shows. I hope the revised version is better, because this one couldn't be any worse. Thank god Douglas Sills is in it, because after listening to Christine Andreas' voice for that long, it is refreshing to hear somebody who can actually create an acceptable form of resonance.

This show needs tons of work, but the potential is still there.
