Amazonレビュー
The Woman in White, Andrew Lloyd Webber's first musical in four years, debuted in London in September 2004. "Freely adapted" from Wilkie Collins's gothic mystery-romance, it tells the story of a young art teacher, Walter Hartright (Martin Crewes), who encounters a mysterious woman dressed in white desperate to tell a secret. But she disappears, and Walter continues on to his assignment teaching a pair of sisters, Marian Holcombe (Maria Friedman) and Laura Fairlie (Jill Paice). Romance develops, but is threatened by the arrival of some shady characters, Sir Percival Glyde (Oliver Darley) and Count Fosco (Michael Crawford).
The score, featuring lyrics by David Zippel (City of Angels), recalls the composer's Aspects of Love, Phantom of the Opera, and Sunset Boulevard, as well as Victorian-themed shows Sweeney Todd and even The Mystery of Edwin Drood. It has some lovely moments, such as "Trying Not to Notice," "All for Laura," "Evermore without You," and "If Not for Me for Her," though for sheer beauty it's no Light in the Piazza. And as with any ALW nearly through-sung musical, a number of the themes recycle themselves to the point where you'll dread the mere mention of certain characters' names. Friedman and Paice give the strongest performances, while Crawford--in his much-anticipated reunion with Lloyd Webber after Phantom--doesn't have a lot to do other than the muggy showpiece "You Can Get Away with Anything." Note that The Woman in White was recorded before a live audience, but "You Can Get Away with Anything" had to be rerecorded in a studio because it was the only number with an audible audience reaction. Crawford's original live performance, however, is included as a coda at the end of the second disc. It's great to have the complete libretto, except that it specifies scene titles while the CD packaging shows track listings and song titles, which means that figuring out where you are takes some detective work. When The Woman in White opened on Broadway in November 2005, Friedman, Paice, and Angela Christian (Anne Catherick) reprised their roles from the London production, while Michael Ball replaced Crawford. --David Horiuchi

"I Believe My Heart", "All For Laura", "Evermore Without You"等、心に残る美しい曲の数々と、それを情感豊かに歌いこなす出演者達。「オペラ座の怪人」のような派手な舞台装置や躍動感溢れる曲で構成されている訳ではないため、一見地味な印象も受けますが、特に先に挙げた3曲に聴き入った後は、忘れることのできないミュージカルになると思います。
特に(別の人気歌手によって)イギリスでシングルカットもされている"I Believe My Heart"は、まだ若い米国と豪州出身の俳優2人によってデュエットで歌いあげられているのですが、これを聴いた時はその「美しさ」に大変感銘を受けました。(これを「電気を流す」が原義の"electrify"という英語で表現している人がいましたが、まさに「衝撃で痺れている」という感覚でした。もっともCDではどうしても臨場感は失われてしまいますが、それでも一聴の価値はあると思います。)

本作品"The Woman in White"は(異例の速さで)05年秋からブロードウェイでも上演されることが決まっています。日本で観られる日も近いと思いますが、現在ウェストエンドの舞台に立っているオリジナル・キャストの美声を一度味わってみられてはいかがでしょうか。

With this show, Llloyd Webber gets back to haunting, simple melodies with an elaborate orchestral score and overly dramatic performers who can belt with the best of them. But, more than that, he gets back to a fantastic story that is beautifully told. In fact, listening to the CD is much like listening to an audio book in that you are truly hooked into the story and waiting to see what happens next. And it is the story, not the songs, that drive this masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, the songs are great - but the melodies are very often repeated. So much so, in fact, that I can probably count the number of new themes on one hand. And, as others have pointed out, you may not always be able to call the themes new. He does lift pieces of previous scores including Aspects Of Love, Sunset Boulevard, By Jeeves, and The Beautiful Game. OK - that's forgivable in my mind because they are beautiful themes and, after all, he did compose them in the first place. But, as I said, its the story that drives this score, not the other way around. And that is the condition under which Lloyd Webber works best.
Performance-wise, Michael Crawford is the stand out star as the lovable villain Count Fosco , although all of the singers give excellent performances. But the true surprise of this show is the lyricist, David Zippel (of City Of Angels fame). Having been plagued by bad lyrics for his last several shows, The Woman In White production team scores big points by choosing to work with this clever lyricist who certainly rivals the like of Tim Rice and Howard Ashman. Absolutely fantastic.
So, in summary, this is an excellent show with a captivating story and a terrific original London cast album. We can finally put The Beautiful Game and Whistle Down The Wind under the category of Starlight Express, and get back to the glory days when musical theatre met the opera met the movies. The Woman In White is scheduled to open on Broadway in Spring of 2006. I'll be waiting....
The woman in white sound track cointains what will and has become "cornerstone" pieces of Andrew Lloyds Webber's collection notably "I believe my heart" and "All for Laura."
I'd recommend going to watch the theatrical performance before listening to the CD as it will probably enhance your enjoyment and appreciation of the music. That said, if you are into Andrew Lloyd Webbers music typically then you won't regret purchasing this CD.
While the show is often forgotten among some other Broadway shows such as "Hairspray" and "The Lion King" it is one you should definately not miss!
The musical is based upon the classic novel of the same name. It takes place in Victorian England and a mystery occurs when a strange woman in white emerges from the fog one night- claiming to have a seceret she can not reveal to anyone. What is so chilling is she resembles a women in town- the mystery between the two women unravels and shows a secret cover-up that can only be solved by a death, mutual deception, and a lover.
The theme that emerges from the music/musical is "I Believe My Heart"- believeing in your heart when common sense tells you not to. The "Finale", "Evermore Without You", and "All For Laura" also manage to stand on their own as well.
Maria Friedman and Adam Brazier do excellent jobs in their roles- and deserve Tony nominations for their wonderful portrayal of their characters and their lovely singing voices. Brazier the male lead- reminded me somewhat of Michael Ball in his earlier days.
All in all this musical made me miss the Broadway dramatic musical... but, it gave me hope that one day Broadway will return to the days of "Les Miserables", and "The Phantom Of The Opera." This is definately a CD I would buy if I was a Broadway musical fan. Thank you MR. WEBBER- for restoring my faith that Broadway can be SAVED from mindless dribble- hit the buy now button and enjoy!
