Customer Reviews LOVE the music! I must have been 12 when I saw this on Broadway. . and now umpteen years later (okay 35 yrs later. . ) I still love the music from this broadway play. In addition to the original LP, I also have the music book which is absolutely wonderful. I play over and over the daunting and soul searching tunes of "Let me come in" and "How I feel" on the piano. My 9 yr old doesn't know the words but I know he enjoys the melody he hears when I play it on the piano. Only wish I could see it again. LACKING! And I hold the same disappointments that they do. It seems that most of the (7) reviewers of this CD are people who have participated in a production of TMNK, and I am no different from them. Many of my favorite songs are MISSING! Plus, I really don't like the voices of the people who do it. William sounds like he has marbles in his mouth, and "How I Feel," which is supposed to be chilling and haunting, was completely ruined by whoever played Catherine. Regardless, this CD still gets 3 stars because, well, the music is awesome. Everybody knows RENT, so imagine a 70's version of that, as far as music goes, where the melody lines are carried by the brass section rather than the guitars (think RENT, only ska-style). So unless you were in the show yourself, you won't miss the missing songs. P. S. - I played Lillie Mae, and my big songs, the "Fugue" and "Robert, Alvin, Wendell and Jojo" are gone. Thank you for putting this in cd format! It was very difficult to find the LP, but after I bought it, I just about wore it out. I played Lillian in a production in Maryland in the late 70's. Yes, it is missing some of the songs from the musical, but what remains is so meaningful to all ages, from teens to adults. For those of you who have not experienced the life of the ghetto, the songs in this musical were taken from authentic poems that ghetto kids wrote. They are so powerful and the voices on this cd show the torment and all the other emotions that go into this life with violence all around. .
