Movie Reviews of Broadway's Best at Pops
Movie Review: Everything you'd expect and more
Summary: 5 Stars
BROADWAY'S BEST AT POPS is a truly remarkable collection of performances. These are the best of the best, in terms of stars, songs and performances.
There's plenty of great stuff here that you'd expect to see on a DVD of this type -- Ethel Merman, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Grey, Carol Channing, Tommy Tune, Barbara Cook and Bernadette Peters. But there's also a lot of surprises. Kristin Chenoweth's "Glitter and Be Gay" is phenomenal (perhaps even better than the concert version from the CANDIDE she did a few years back). Elaine Paige makes a rare American appearance, singing the role that made her famous twenty years before. Audra McDonald is, as always, spectacular, but she is less well-known than many of the performers here. Bonnie Raitt and John Raitt's "Hey There" is breathtakingly good, and what a pleasant surprise to see Ray Bolger included here.
But there is one moment on this DVD that far surpasses everything else, and it's probably the biggest surprise here: Tyne Daly singing "Trouble" from THE MUSIC MAN. As she says in her intro, as a child she imagined herself playing Professor Harold Hill, rather than Marian the librarian. And her performance is flawless!
I only wish we could get entire episodes of EVENING AT POPS on DVD. Until that happens, though, this is a must-have for any fan of Broadway and the Boston Pops.
