"The Wedding Singer [Original Cast]" (06/06/2006) Soundtracks Original Cast, Sony Classical Essential ClassicsComposer: Matthew Sklar. Composers: Tim Herlihy; Adam Sandler. Lyricist: Chad Beguelin. Lyricist: Chad Beguelin. Personnel: Stephen Lynch (vocals, guitar); Matt Allen, Christina Sivrich, Matthew Saldivar, Adinah Alexander, Angelique Ilo, Spencer Liff, J. Elaine Marcos, Ashley Amber Haase, David Josefsberg, T. Oliver Reid, Tina Maddigan, Peter Kapetan, Tracee Beazer, Felicia Finley, Nicolette Hart, Matthew Stocke, Eric LaJuan Summers, Mike McGurk, Kevin Kern, Laura Benanti, Amy Spanger, Rita Gardner, Kevin Cahoon, James Sampliner (vocals); John Putnam, Larry Saltzman, Gary Sieger (guitar); Clifford Lyons, Jack Bashkow (reeds); Trevor Neumann (trumpet); John Samorian, Jon Werking (keyboards); Warren Odze (drums); Jim Saporito (percussion). Audio Mixer: David Leonard. Recording information: Right Track Studio 509A, New York, NY; Sony Music Studios, New York, NY. Director: John Rando. Editor: Larry Kerr. Photographer: Joan Marcus. Arranger: David Chase. Bear in mind the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" as the release of the soundtrack to the Broadway musical The Wedding Singer makes its splash on Broadway quite similar to the way the movie of the same name did, only with more music. The Wedding Singer is exactly based on the Adam Sandler movie, set in the '80s. Therefore, the album is filled with '80s references to music, games, events, and even business (In one song, the idea of investing in New Coke is suggested). The retro humor and music style, featuring electric pop sounds and hardcore rock beats, is refreshing; Wedding Singer doesn't play up a "Classic Broadway" sound, but rather offers a cute spin on the genre with Stephen Lynch at the helm, whose portrayal of Robbie Hart is endearing and amusing, even on record. Many of the songs are playable on disc without a staged visual, since anyone who's seen the movie can imagine what this might look like on-stage. However, large numbers such as "Saturday Night in the City," with its spaced out arrangement, and the finale (which, due to the appearance of so many new voices and characters, including a Filipino impersonator, becomes confusing and awkward) provide musical missteps that work wonderfully on-stage but do not transition properly on record. Many of the strongest recordings are actually from the movie, since they were originally composed by Sandler himself; as a comedic writer, he creates magic with "Grow Old with You" and "Somebody Kill Me," even if they aren't the most melodically challenging. Plus, there is only one genuinely show-stopping number, the opening track "It's Your Wedding Day," which gets an equally strong reprise at the end of the show. Overall, the cast recording is a feel-good sampling of the retro that you may have grown to love and miss, and the humor that is served in dollops is appreciated and enjoyed, even if the musical overall isn't overly original or critically acclaimed. Much like the original movie, The Wedding Singer doesn't attempt to change the world, rather, to tell the story of a boy and a girl who fall in love in the kinda-new old way. ~ Matthew Chisling

"Wedding Crashers" (07/19/2005) Rock & Pop Original Soundtrack, New Line RecordsThis is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. For the 2005 hit comedy WEDDING CRASHERS, the soundtrack producers assembled a collection of (mostly) contemporary alternative rock. Ben Gibbard, an early-2000s compilation fixture between his bands Death Cab for Cutie and the Postal Service, shows up with the former group on "The Sound of Settling," a catchy dose of power-pop that kicks off this set. Other standout acts include Bloc Party (who contribute the chiming "This Modern Love"), Rilo Kiley (the twangy "More Adventurous"), and the Flaming Lips (the dreamy, previously unreleased "Mr. Ambulance Driver"). Though the film is largely set at wedding receptions, "The Chicken Dance" and the "Electric Slide" are mercifully absent. Instead, the soundtrack presents a remix of the Isley Brothers' jubilant party classic "Shout," and closes with stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson attempting to accompany the Klezmer Juice Band on "Hava Nagilah."

"Monsoon Wedding" (03/05/2002) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, MilanOriginal score composed by Mychael Danna. Includes liner notes by Mira Nair. Monsoon Wedding director Mira Nair has described her beautiful family drama as "a Bollywood film, made on my terms." It's a pretty apt description, though on the surface the subtly acted art house picture may seem to have very little in common with the elaborately choreographed musical productions for which the Indian film industry is famous. Whereas Bollywood products are generally characterized by broadly painted heroes and villains, Nair's characters are among the most three-dimensional and honestly realized in international cinema. They are not the sort of people who populate Bollywood entertainments, but they are the sort of people who pay to see them. They don't burst simultaneously into song, but they do dance to Indian pop music in their living rooms. They do belt out traditional celebratory songs at wedding parties. What Monsoon Wedding shares with Bollywood is its appreciation of India's deeply rooted cultural enthusiasm for song and dance. The soundtrack reflects the delightfully broad spectrum of the music that plays on middle-class stereos all over modern India. There is a thumping electronic Hindi disco tune, a soaring orchestral romantic ballad from the vinyl era, an infectiously melodious contemporary pop duet, and a festive traditional spiritual performed by the internationally revered Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn. But most impressive of all is the film's original music. Sukhvinder Singh's rousing theme song, "Aaj Mera Jee Kardaa," expertly weaves traditional folk elements with sleek pop rhythms and strings. In a perfect alternate reality, it would probably be an Oscar winner. So would Mychael Danna's score. A recent Hindu groom himself and one of the most innovative composers in North American cinema, Danna elevates Nair's naturalistic hand-held camera narrative to a transcendent spiritual plane. The mystical "Fuse Box" almost single-handedly accomplishes the task of transforming the clownish wedding planner P.K. Dubey from a hilarious marigold-eating Indian version of Martin Short's Father of the Bride character to a thoroughly credible and even charming romantic lead. Unfortunately, that exquisite melody is hyped up to the point of tedium in two pounding techno remixes at the conclusion of the soundtrack album. They are a regrettable misstep in an otherwise brilliant compilation. ~ Evan Cater

"The Wedding Planner" (01/23/2001) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Hollywood RecordsOriginal score composed by Mervyn Warren. Recording information: Bastyr Chapel, Seattle, WA; Leapyear Studio, Los Angeles, CA. Arranger: Mervyn Warren. Director Adam Shankman conceived this Jennifer Lopez/Matthew McConaughey vehicle as an old-fashioned romantic musical comedy in the spirit of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. (Interesting historical note: this is probably the only album ever made that includes--or will include--the phrase "This album does not include a Jennifer Lopez recording" on its back cover). This commercially canny mix of contemporary pop stylings features Sister Hazel's post-Hootie "We'll Find It," alt-rock/hip-hop fusion in the form of Jessica Riddle's "Symphony," with its sample of Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," R&B balladry (the Goffin-King obscurity "Somewhere My Baby Waits for Me," sung soulfully by Lisa Stansfield), and sentimental '70s pop hits such as John Denver's "Annie's Song" and Olivia Newton John's "I Honestly Love You." There are also a few selections from Mervyn Warren's original film score, the most memorable of which is "Mary and Steve's Tango," heard during the picture's big Lopez/McConaughey dance scene.

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" (07/16/2002) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Sony Music Distribution (USA)Original score composed by Chris Wilson and Alexander Janko. Personnel: Dean Parks (acoustic guitar); Chris Wilson (electric guitar); Miran Kojian, Katia Popov, Mark Sazer, Aimee Kreston, Alan Grunfeld, Ken Yerke, Franklyn d'Antonio, Mark Robertson , Bruce Dukov, Phillipe Levy, Armen Garabedian, Dimitrie Leivici, Rafael Rishik, Haim Shtrum (violin); Matt Funes, Marlo Fisher, Vicki Miskolczy, Simon Oswell, Darrin McCann (viola); Stephen Erdody, Armen Ksadjikian, Sebastian Toettcher, Cecilia Tsan (cello); Louise Di Tullio (flute); Gary Bovyer (clarinet); Jon Clarke (oboe, soprano saxophone); Randy Kerber (piano). Recording information: O'Henry's. Arranger: Mark Wolfson. Those seeking a souvenir of the film will be pleased by the lively mix of traditional Greek tunes, all rich in atmosphere, but the real treasures here are the original score tracks by Chris Wilson and Alexander Janko. Evocative of the film's Greek flavor on tracks such as "Yasoo" and "Yiayia," Wilson and Janko's compositions manage to retain their own flavor as they reflect the film's emotional landscape. From the delicate piano passages of "Generations" and "First Date" to the guitar-fueled "Toula and Ian," the tracks have a low-key appeal and warmth that makes for pleasant background music. Fans of David Schwartz's original music from the television show Northern Exposure as well as fans of Rachel Portman's comedy scores may want to check this out. ~ Neil Shurley

"Wedding in Paris/Can-Can" (02/01/2005) Soundtracks Original Cast, Sepia Records2 LPs on 1 CD: WEDDING IN PARIS/CAN-CAN. Composer: Hans May . Composer/Lyricist: Cole Porter. Lyricist: Sonny Miller. Original London Cast/Original Soundtrack: Edmund Hockridge, Evelyn Laye, Anton Walbrook, Irene Hilda. Liner Note Authors: Edmund Hockridge; Rexton S. Bunnett. Recording information: London, England (10/26/1950-10/10/1954). Director: Charles Hickman. Photographers: Edmund Hockridge; Bryan Hammond; Brian Coker. At first glance, the musicals Wedding in Paris and Can-Can seem to share one characteristic that makes them an appropriate pairing on a single CD: Paris. Actually, however, while Can-Can, with a score by Cole Porter, is set in Paris, Wedding in Paris, which features songs by composer Hans May and lyricist Sonny Miller, takes place on a liner crossing the Atlantic to France. The more important factor that the two shows have in common is that both were produced in London in 1954, Can-Can following a successful Broadway opening, while Wedding in Paris originated in the West End. The date is especially important because, 50 years later, the original London cast recordings for the two shows fell out of copyright in Europe, and Sepia Records stepped in quickly to assemble this unlicensed reissue. As Rexton S. Bunnett acknowledges in his liner notes, only half of the score of Wedding in Paris was recorded, eight tracks with a running time of less than 27 minutes. The British Can-Can had all of its principal songs put on disc, but in abbreviated form; its 13 tracks here clock in at just over 29 minutes. (The CD is filled out to 78 minutes by including medleys of the music from Wedding in Paris and a few stray singles by performers from the casts.) There are also certain musical similarities that make the two sets of recordings a good match. May, an expatriate Viennese living in London, is, not surprisingly, more interested in writing waltz music than Porter, but Miller gives him some witty lyrics in songs such as "A Man Is a Man" and "Strike Another Match" that offer some competition to Porter's characteristically clever sense of wordplay. For his part, Porter turns in some memorable melodies in Can-Can, notably "C'est Magnifique," "It's All Right with Me," and "I Love Paris." And he benefits from the casting of Irene Hilda in the main role of Pistache, who makes a better impression than Lilo did on the original Broadway cast album. Evelyn Laye also impresses in Wedding in Paris, even though she is hamstrung by the elimination of several of her key songs from the recording. This is material that has been out of print for a long time, and Sepia has done an excellent job of putting together a package that shows it off to advantage. ~ William Ruhlmann

"My Best Friend's Wedding [Original Soundtrack]" (06/24/1997) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Work GroupArrangers: Lars Halapi; Eddie Arkin. Though it contains the music from the box-office record-breaking romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, there's another agenda at work on this album. It doubles as a tribute to '60s popmeisters Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and is populated by a coterie of contemporary artists offering up their own interpretations of classic Bacharach/David songs, many of which were made famous by Dionne Warwick. Mary Chapin Carpenter takes a modern glance at romantic disillusion on her version of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again." Elsewhere, neo-folk diva Ani DiFranco reinvents "Wishin' And Hopin." Tony Bennett provides a brief break in format with an assured rendition of the evergreen "Just The Way You Look Tonight."

"Royal Wedding [Expanded Edition]" (01/01/2004) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Rhino HandmadePrincipal cast includes: Fred Astaire, Jane Powell, Peter Lawford, Sarah Churchill, Keenan Wynn, Albert Sharpe. Royal Wedding (1951) became an instant classic thanks not only to the top-shelf words and music of Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane, but also the exemplary acting and dancing of the luminous cast. The action was uncannily derived from two disparate real-life events, the November 20, 1947, marriage of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to Princess Elizabeth and, undoubtedly hitting closer to home, the union of Fred Astaire's sister Adele to British Lord Charles Cavendish. Additionally, the story concerns the brother/sister dance act of Fred Astaire (Tom Bowen) and Jane Powell (Ellen Bowen), who traipse off to the Motherland to perform. But even the best-laid plans go awry when Powell's character falls in love with nobleman Peter Lawford (Lord John Brindale), while Astaire becomes infatuated with Anne Ashmond (Sarah Churchill), the daughter of Sir Winston. The movie produced some of Astaire's most familiar work -- especially the immortal "dancing hat-rack" choreography accompanying "Sunday Jumps," and the equally vivid soft shoe on the ceiling shots used during "You're All the World to Me." While understandably Powell's hoofing isn't as fancy as Astaire's, she provides vocals to a couple of irresistible numbers in the form of the lovely melodic ballad "Too Late Now," garnering her an Academy Award nomination in the Best Song category. On this significantly expanded edition of the original motion picture soundtrack, the film's complete score is offered up for the very first time alongside the aforementioned solos and a trio of Astaire/Powell duets on "Ev'ry Night at Seven," "I Left My Hat in Haiti," and "Open Your Eyes." Concluding the disc is a previously unavailable promotional interview with the co-stars, hosted by radio and television personality Dick Simmons. The Rhino Handmade CD pressing is limited to 2,500 copies and is further augmented by a generous liner notes book with stills and copious text, making it nothing short of definitive. ~ Lindsay Planer

"Muriel's Wedding" (04/04/1995) Soundtracks Original Soundtrack, Polydor (USA)Producers: Peter Best. Engineers: David Hemming. Audio Mixer: David Hemmings. Arranger: Peter Best. This soundtrack captures the essence of the movie. There is both a sense of humor with the cheesy '70s picks and a strange sense of longing in those same songs. Hidden under the kitsch, there is a real sense of hope, and that is what both the movie and the album are about. The numbers written for the movie are few, mainly "Bridal Dancing Queen," which nicely expands on the ABBA number. With everything from the Carpenter's "We've Only Just Begun" to "Waterloo," this ompilation is a lot of fun, and as long as you like reliving the '70s a bit, this album is worth a listen. ~ Melinda Hill
