Book Reviews of John & Jen: Vocal Selections

Book Review: Could Have Been Better
Summary: 4 Stars

The music in this show with the music of Andrew Lippa and orchestrations by Jason Robert Brown I really love. I also love the fact this book has a pretty true piano accompaniment part. It allowed me to play and sing most songs unless they got excruciatingly hard. This show doesn't have the catchiest music, but it is there. 'Bye Room', 'It Took me a While', 'Out of my Sight' and 'Every Goodbye' are awesome songs. Lots of syncopations involved so make sure Left hand, Right hand, and Vox can all think for themselves as well as a unit.
The reason why I only gave 4 stars is because this vocal selection really did pick some of the poorer tunes over better tunes that should have been in it. Ex: 'Think Big' and 'Little League' songs. These have some of the main motifs in the show yet they were omitted. I am still puzzled to why. Also, if I can recall, every single song is a duet in some form or fashion, yet in the vocal selections, some tunes become solos and of course are abbreviated. I know it seems like I am dogging the book, but it really still is well done, just it could have been a tad better with those improvements.
