It took years for this Tommy Tune musical to reach disc, during which time one of the leads, David Carroll, died (he is remembered in a club performance of one of the songs, included as a bonus track). But most of the rest of the principals -- Liliane Montevecchi, Karen Akers, Michael Jeter -- are here, making the most of this musical adaptation of the famous movie about a hotel in Berlin in the 20s. The score, by Robert Wright and George Forrest, with significant additions by Maury Yeston, is not the show's strong point (the staging and choreography were what made it a hit), but it gives a good sense of the story and is true to the original source. ~ William Ruhlmann
