As for me, I have all three recordings and this is by far the best recording out there. The vocals are just amazing and the instrumentation on this CD is better than the others. It is a really good CD and if you like the music from FAME, then you definitley need to buy this recording! A couple things that I don't like is that it doesn't include the reprise of "Hard Work" at the end of Act 1, and I am not the biggest fan of the two teachers' voices in this cast, but oh well.

Just get this CD and support the cast by checking it out on Off-Broadway ASAP!

The Fame on 42nd Street Cast Recording is one of the best CD's I own. You can feel the energy from the cast from just listening to it. I recently saw the show and the CD brings the magic of seeing the show to you. All the singers voices are amazing. The music is youthful with high energy, making you want to get up and dance. Live Forever.

I have seen this show, and I love it. Nothing is as good as seeing Fame live, but the CD is still amazing. The actors are wonderful, and the songs are beautiful. I escpecially love Sara Schmidt in "Let's Play a Love Scene." Everyone should go see Fame and then buy the CD!
