Debbie Does Dallas (2002 Off-Broadway Cast) [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Though it's based on the 1978 X-rated movie of the same name, Debbie Does Dallas may be one of the most wholesome pieces of entertainment to ever hit Off Broadway. Played by Sherie Rene Scott (Aida), the title character has to do unsavory things in order to raise money and travel to Dallas, where she'll fulfill her destiny as a Texas Cowgirl cheerleader. But as "Where I Need to Go (Debbie's Theme)" makes clear (it's influenced by "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic), this musical actually fits comfortably in the mainstream, emphasizing such classic American values as following your dream and using a bloated ballad to get there. But "Where I Need to Go" is one of only a few songs on this cast recording. The CD is more akin to a book on tape, relying heavily on the play's dialogues to fill the track listing. It might be fun to listen to it on a long cross-country drive, but in the comfort of your home, the appeal fades somewhat. If you're looking for songs that explore the world of adult entertainment, the soundtrack to Bruce Kimmel's 1976 movie, The First Nudie Musical, remains the one to top. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Help.......2003-11-22

I am looking for the sheet music for debbie does dallas, does anybody know where i can find it?

This is utterly Precious!.......2003-05-25

I bought this because I enjoy Sherie Renee Scott's performances in "Aida" and "The Last Five Years." This is one of the funniest recordings I've heard. Don't be mislead, I think this could hardly be considered a musical, aside from the few songs that are actually sung, I would think of it more as a play with music - and the occasional sung song. This is part of the charm, however. The cliche cheerleaders and football players are hillarious to listen to. Be advised, it is based on a porn movie, so there is a lot of things that could make it uncomfortable to listen to in mixed company, but it's humor and naive charm, make it worth while.

Not many songs but still funny........2003-03-23

Majority of the songs have no actual substance, but besides the few gorgeous melodies Sherie Rene Scott sings with such oomph, this cd is jampacked with dirty jokes and nothing but. ...

A Rolling Ride - Tongue in Cheek - Visual INTENDED!!!.......2003-01-30

This recording is fantastic. I've a collection of over 300 Theatre Cast Albums. And this, by far, is very original. Definitly not something for children, while not explicit, the references to sexual acts are pretty thinly veiled.
There are a total of maybe 4 actual songs on here. But, the spoken word is fantastic, and the visuals you create with your mind are even more amusing.
The girls, which are totally believable as a group of not too bright, but sexually charges adolescents speak in a group voice, with a Valley accent, that's just too funny. You can't help but laugh.
And the men, which are never the focus in the type of movie this is based on, come through as unimportant bystanders that just help to move the action along, but still show some small glimmers of personality that make you laugh at the genre of adult movies.
All in all, this CD is a humurous romp through the sexual discovery of an 18 year old girl pursuing her dreams. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys hearing something new, different, and that will certainly make you SMILE, if not LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!

Very Funny and totally original.......2003-01-16

I saw the show and loved it but I couldn't imagine how they were going to turn it into a CD because there isn't enough music to make a full CD. So what they did was to create a very very funny comedy album full of scenes, songs, sex and karaoke (if you can believe it) The CD is 74 minutes and is a complete listening experience. There is also a surprise bonus track called The orgasm medley that has to be heard to be believed. It is hilarious. The songs are better on the CD than in the show. They have a South Park feel to them and they are very funny. Sherie Rene Scott has one of my favorite voices anywhere and she gets the opportunity to show off all she can do and she does it great. I would reccomend anyone getting this CD if you want to giggle and blush and have a really great time. Oh, and the artwork has a centerfold of Sherie as Debbie it is worth the price of the CD (if you know what I mean)
