Brits can do american

"there is a difference in style, vocal and presentation between British and american, but this is really worth it. Dame Judy Dench in long wig doing "Sixteen" is FUNNY. "10 cents a dance" is it the song, the singer, or the dress? Ruth Henshall, Claire Moore and most of the rest are new to me, but that is the fun part. And Aunt Ellers comment on Hugh Jackman from Oklahoma rehearsals, well I won't spoil it. Broaden your horizon to talent from across the pond."
If you like Richard Rodger's music - this one's a keeper

"More details of my opinion can be found in my comment on Mr. Jurgen's unfavorable review, which you will find below, following his review.
In summary, this is an outstanding video and audio recording of a "one night only" benefit performance. It's so obvious that these very accomplished British performers love the music of Richard Rodgers as much as we do. They more than do it justice. It was one of those "magic" evenings and we are so fortunate that it was recorded so carefully - that we might now and forever share the magic. All contributors to it deserve our thanks. Of course one will have their own "playlist" of favorites - whether the lyrics are by Hart or by Hammerstein. Through it all is the music of Richard Rodgers. My only regret - that it wasn't a longer evening."
Send In the Clowns by Judi

"I bought this primarily for Judi Dench singing "Send In the Clowns" and was justly rewarded for doing so. This was a wonderful presentation and then you get all the other great performances as well.
Worth every penny."
