Lippa's The Wild Party

Lippa's The Wild Party, starring Julia Murney, Idina Menzel, Brian D'Arcy James, and Taye Diggs, is a musical set in the 20's. It is focused on 2 vaudville performers, their best friend, and her boyfriend. Soon, a love triangle forms. The way the music is set up is gorgeous! It is VERY 1920's style music, which I love! Everyone sounds amazing on the album, especially Julia. Her voice is just brilliant with that style of music. She can do no wrong. Idina also sounds amazing. Who I was supprised by was Brian D'Arcy James. He sounds amazingly wonderful with that style of music, and his songs that he sings are truly amazing. The Wild Party is one of my favorite cast albums, so if you dont already have it, go get it asap!

  1. Well, I 1000% agree with you. It is one of the great travesties of the cosmos that this show was not moved to Broadway. Julia Murney deserved a Tony. She will get one, no doubt...talent will out, as they say, but that preformance was the best of the best, and all who love the theater, know it at truth.
