A Child's Celebration of Broadway

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A Child's Celebration of Broadway is a tasteful treat for grownups and almost-grownups in addition to being the typically kid-friendly fare brought to the listener by Music for Little People. The classy compilation, rather than being made up of chirpy, dumbed-down renditions, is composed of music from the original cast recordings of such beloved shows as Oklahoma!, The Music Man, and The Sound of Music. Mary Martin brightly sparkles, singing numbers from both Annie Get Your Gun and Peter Pan, and the ever dear Julie Andrews contributes a duo as well, including the classic "The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music. With a particularly heavy emphasis on Rodgers and Hammerstein, noted composers in absence are Rodgers and Hart, Sondheim, and Porter. While by no means a complete collection, A Child's Celebration of Broadway is a perfectly sound starting point for little divas and future showboats. --Paige La Grone

5 out of 5 stars My Celebration of Broadway.......2006-03-15

It's not just for kids! Originally checked this out from the library. My kids were THRILLED when I actually purchased it. It makes me realize why I love musicals -- they're usually upbeat and happy and everything works out in the end. I wish there were more of them out there to be enjoyed.

5 out of 5 stars Buy this!.......2000-07-18

One after another these songs by original artists are outstanding and deliver a positive message as well. Our 2 year old's favorite cd, and we love it too!

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD!.......2000-05-06

omg, I love this CD, I listen to it all the time! I don't know why it's called a 'child's' celebration of broadway, when it's really for everyone! My fav songs are come Follow the Band and You've Gotta Have Heart.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous music for kids!.......2000-02-27

I love this CD and listen to it even when my toddler isn't around. Mary Martin's version of 'I Got the Sun in the Morning and the Moon at Night' is just fantastic. It's the kind of music you WANT your kids to grow up listening to! Listen to all the Music for Little People CDs ... you can't go wrong with them.

5 out of 5 stars The Wave of the Future.......1999-12-14

I think complilations like these are really what people want to listen to . With attention spans so short these days, there's nothing like being able to sample delicious treats from bygone eras. Hurrah.
