Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: Piano/Vocal/Guitar Songbook | 6 Songs from the Classic Movie | Sheet Music for Piano, Voice, and Guitar | Includes Pure Imagination and More by Leslie Bricusse
I read this book as a kid, and then just finished a reread to see if it stood the test of time and adulthood.

A resounding yes.

Just as entertaining, just as wonderful as an adult.

Roald Dahl is a genius.

Scrooge (DVD) by Ronald Neame
Acting: 4.5; Theme: 5.0; Content: 5.0; Language: 5.0; Overall: 4.5

This is the musical version of Charles Dickens' classic tale of A Christmas Carol. After a long life of living for only himself and money, Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three ghosts- the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghose of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. As he passes through time, he realizes how empty and self-absorbed his life has been. Will his experiences with these ghostly visits bring him to show more his senses? There were many wonderful musical compilations throughout the film. One of my favorites of this classic movie. Highly recommend.

Scrooge (dvd) by Ronald Neame
The story was half-way cribbed from Dickens, but too much to stand alone and not enough to be authentic. The music was okay, but I was not convinced by Finney's performance.

Jekyll & Hyde: The Complete Work - The Gothic Musical Thriller (1994 Concept Cast) by Frank Wildhorn
I went to see the musical recently. I loved it and love this recording as it brings back those memories. The music is rich and expressive as are the voices. This is a great recording.

If you enjoyed the musical, you will love this CD. If you enjoy musicals such as Sweeney Todd or Phantom of the Opera, you should try Jekyll & Hyde.
