The Camp soundtrack is a perfect companion to the movie, managing to capture the magic of a select few songs that linger in your memory after leaving the theater. All of the "new" numbers performed by the teens in the movie made the soundtrack, and incidentally are my favorite songs. "How Shall I See You Through My Tears", "Century Plant" and "Here's Where I Stand" all stand out on this CD. The produced also included to actual Broadway numbers, "Ladies Who Lunch" and "Turkey Lurkey Time", which will leave you humming for hours afterward. Additionally, other songs performed by other groups and people are included to round out the CD, and accompany the first songs well.

If you enjoyed the movie, you'll completely enjoy this CD, and will be playing it for a long time to come. Get on the bus, and don't be late for Camp!


Soundtrack's better than the movie.   September 12, 2003

Based upon recommendations, I actually bought the soundtrack to "Camp" before seeing the movie. And because I did that, I can strongly recommend the soundtrack - and cannot particularly recommend the film because, oddly, the kids in the film are at their best when they're singing.

"Here's Where I Stand," the power ballad performed by Tiffany Taylor and written specifically for the film, is an excellent and moving piece of music. Also good are the opening track "How Shall I See You Through My Tears, "For the Want of a Nail" and the Sondheim booze-induced and sarcastic piece called "The Ladies Who Lunch."

As for Victoria Williams song "Century Plant," it's a bit different (particularly in an album filled with showtunes), but it fits, however oddly. It's fun to hear over and over.

I was less impressed by Daniel Letterle's songs, particularly the bland "I Sing for You."

All in all, it's good.

This movie opened emotions that had not been opened since I was a child. This movie is simply OUTSTANDING. I was touched from the opening number. The actors did a fantastic job. I love "Turky Lurky", and "How should I see you through my tears". Now I under stand the want of A nail.
Brilliant. The best soundtrack I have heard in 5 years.
Wow..

This CD is full of incredible, young, talented, teens belting and wailing their way through a great collection of songs. Sasha Allen and Tiffany Taylor especially are two great finds whose careers will hopefully be jumpstarted by their incredible performances in this film and on this recording. One track in particular stands out as superb, "Here's Where I Stand" is as beautiful as it is insanely intense. Tiffany Taylor SANGS her way through this song with passion and vigor rarely caught on CD. It is my hope that this song will be nominated for Best Song at the Oscar's this year. The Downside to this CD, the last 6 tracks of this album. They are not the sprightly young talents singing, rather they are just bands and singers who look poor in comparison to their predecessor teens. I would say that this CD is worth it just for the first 8 tracks but I can't help feeling let down that there aren't more performances by the CAMP cast.


Treat yourself...see the movie and buy this CD!!!!!   September 4, 2003

I thought the movie was an incredibly fun way to spend two hours, especially since most independent films usually deal with weighty and serious issues.

Just bought the soundtrack yesterday and I'll be listening to it for a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG time. Sitting in freeway traffic isn't so bad with this in the car's CD player!!!

I'm telling friends and coworkers to run to see the movie at the same time "warning" them that they'll want the soundtrack after they leave the theater.

"HEY...do ya wanna come out and play the gaaaame, it's never too laaaate....."
