theatrical nature." Fans of the series know that means ruthless skewering of everything connected to the Great White Way through skillful mimicry and hilarious words set to familiar tunes. The victims include shows such as Bombay Dreams , Avenue Q , and Thoroughly Modern Millie ("the worst Best Musical ever!"); personalities such as Brooke Shields, Stephen Schwartz, the two stars of Wicked , and Harvey Fierstein; and trends such as pop-music-based shows, stars who miss performances, and revivals. One particularly amusing trick is turning Assassins ' lyrical tribute to Jodie Foster and Charles Manson into a theater geek's tribute to Stephen Sondheim, "Unworthy of Your Words" ("I am unworthy of your words / I cannot sing your minor thi...  (less)

blistering guitar playing and depth of songwriting speak volumes, both on stage and in the studio on Stevens' three solo albums: Another Room, Points Revisited, and his latest release, Home. While still a teenager in Indiana, infatuated with 60s garage and hard-edged rock and roll, he joined regional heroes Magi, a dual-guitar, kick-ass rock and roll band. When Magi packed their gear and moved west to Los Angeles, they found their angle had gone out of style, replaced by the vibrant punk energy of Black Flag and X. As other band members moved home, Stevens stayed in Hollywood, absorbing the raw sounds and urban sensibilities of the L.A. musical landscape. It was during this period that Tom first began seriously writing songs. Taking a cue from the thriving ...  (less)

Despite the absence of celebrity vocals, the performances roundly razzle-dazzle; on standouts such as "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin and "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid it's clear that Disney's vast talent pool isn't getting any shallower. And the inclusion of complete lyrics in the liner notes, crucial to any karaoke album, serves the dual purpose of erasing sing-along r...  (less)
