Missing songs.
Format: Paperback
Our copy was well-used and missing some of the songs from the play. Husband was grateful to have it, anyway.

not in the key I expected- not the full song
Format: Paperback
First off, the item was in good condition, came in a timely manner and technically fulfilled its description... I think. However: (looking specifically at the song "Shy") I was excited to find a piece that was appropriate for an alto voice but this music starts on an F instead of a D like the soundtrack recordings. (insert scream inspired by years of similar frustration). There are few enough good pieces for alto and then you have to go and steal those from us??? It is still singable but I will go through my audition not being able to show the better part of my range. Also, they severely truncated the song. It goes from "someone's being bashful" to "terribly timid and horribly shy." Good thing I only wanted it for 30-some measures. Once I feel like even looking at the other songs, I may post wether or not they have been edited as well, but kind of frustrated right now. The only reason I'm not returning it is because my audition is coming up too soon and I don't know that I can find a better option. ... show more

Format: Paperback
We all know the story of the Princess and the Pea, right? Well, this musical and its music book give it some well needed humor! Origianlly starring Carol Burnett, MATTRESS went on to make 2 TV movies and eventually star Ms. Sarah Jessica Parker, a now Emmy award winning actress. MATTRESS entered my life 12 months ago, and it is still here! For me, MATTRESS seems to have started my acting career. Buy this book if you need to learn songs for a role, or if you just want to add it to your Broadway collection! ... show more
