Editorial Reviews

Elton John's sophomore stage show, Aida, is the follow-up to the knighted composer's Lion King, the innovative and critically lauded musical that's currently the crown jewel of the Disney juggernaut continuing to redefine Broadway. An adaptation of the myth that inspired Verdi's timeless opera, Aida is a torrid tale of destiny, duty, and forbidden love set among Egypt's ancient pyramids. Exotic locations and sensual orchestrations provide a grand backdrop for Sir Elton's luscious, pomegranate-ripe melodies, and Tim Rice's passionate lyrics. The brilliant original cast features Heather Headley, who sizzles in her Tony-nominated performance as the captive Nubian princess in love with the conqueror, Radames, played by Adam Pascal, a matinee idol known for his recent role as Roger in the original cast of Rent. The stars generate enough heat to pump life into a mummy on "Not Me," "Elaborate Lives," "My Strongest Suit," and "Like Father, Like Son." With Aida, the former Captain Fantastic completes his amazing transformation from pop star to King of the Great White Way. David Cohen, Barnes & Noble

June 18, 2008: Aida is probably the most beautiful love story there is (besides Beauty and the Beast). With a score filled with pop songs, soaring solos, and powerful love ballads, no music could have been composed better. In her Broadway debut, Heather Hedley's Tony Award winning performance as Aida is brilliant and nobody else could have been better. Adam Pascal does a great job as Radames(although I think his voice is suited for shows like Rent, where he playe Roger). I absolutely love Sherie Renee Scott as Princess Amneris. She is one of the best actresses on Broadway (and what a voice she has! WOW!) Anybody who loves musicals should have this CD. It is a wonderful show and a must have.
