Editorial Reviews

Side Show tells the story of Daisy and Violet Hilton, a pair of Siamese twins who rose from carnivals to cult stardom in vaudeville and in Tod Browning's film, Freaks. The score to the show was composed by Henry Krieger, who is able to make the bizarre subject matter accessible with his music, which is alternately soaring, urgent, and chillingly evocative. Furthermore, the lyrics by Bill Russell are particularly direct and effective, making Side Show -- considering its subject matter -- a surprisingly effective musical. Rodney Batdorf, All Music Guide

March 07, 2005: I saw this on Broadway when it came out and we gave the cast their very first, WELL DESERVED standing ovation. I was heartbroken when its run ended prematurely-- this cast was magical and this music is still powerful enough to bring tears to my eyes. Any lover of music needs this CD.
