Wait till you hear track 6 Who's Sorry Now?, It's just incredible! I love this CD and highly recommend it to any Bee Gees fan and/or fan of the show and/or movie. You find yourself singing along to familiar tracks. Heard on CD as 79 minutes of music, Saturday Night Fever comes off like an idealized commercial-free radio set of late-70s dance music (and, in that regard, the decision to leave Rick Dees 'Disco Duck' off the soundtrack album was a good one for all concerned, except Dees). This CD is great to listen to in the car. Lastly, if you know the show you will notice the tracks are out of order, in which they appeared in the show. If you like the sound of 3 men singing like women, this CD is not for you either. My only guess was so because they wanted to leave the integrity of the songs intact and play what people know. For some reason they didn't want to put the music written for the ending in the CD. My only complaint with the CD is most songs just fade out instead of ending as they did in the show. The recording is super clear and you can hear the detail of every musical instrument used. However, I do not consider this purchase settling because it's just FANTASTIC. Therefore we must settle on the London cast recording. "Unfortunately, because the critics trashed the Broadway run of Saturday Night Fever, a Broadway recording was never made. I wouldn't reccomend this to a huge Broadway fan, given the hype that this has received, they might be scared that it set a precedent." The incidents that occur (ie: Tony's brother leaving the ministry, Annette's affection for Tony) are never strongly connected, making for 5 or 6 subplots but never one strong central premise.

The "plot" was incredibly weak, especially considering the writers had a movie to refer to, and at times I was wondering what purpose certain songs served in the plot. The ennunciation is also incredibly off, making many words hard to understand. While the vocal talents they chose for it are all right, it appears that they were hoping to ride on the pretty faces and familiar tunes for a Broadway hit. The London recording is also a bit different than the Broadway/Tour run. Having seen the show live, I must admit the choreography was incredible, however that was the only redeeming factor I picked out in it.
However, if you are a theatre afficionado who religiously listens to Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim, then back away from this atrocity.

"If, and that's a HUGE if, you're a Bee Gees fan, or a Donna Summer fan, then perhaps you would like Saturday Night Fever: The Musical.
