I never saw the actual movie, except for a very, very small part of it. I'm a guy ... it was just another chick flick to me. When I heard it was going to be on Broadway, I expected it to be just an awful product of the mass movie-based musical movement. But the New York Times review made me curious about it. I managed to watch it from Bend and Snap to the end thanks to the MTV airings. Eventually I decided to actually check out the soundtrack. I am so happy that I did.
The music is really good and the songs help you to follow the storyline although there are times when you have to check the synopsis to see what happened between songs. The cast does a superb job with each song. While most of the songs make you feel like you're on a sugar rush, there are some breaks from the positive energetic songs to go into some sad moments. My personal favorites include Serious, Chip on my Shoulder, Take it Like a Man, and Legally Blonde. While most of the others are good, the only two that I don't really care for are The Harvard Variations and Blood in the Water. While I still think that the storyline is rather silly, I would still like to see this show and I would very much recommend this soundtrack. Although, you might want to check out some samples of the songs through something like Amazon.com before buying this, just to make sure. But just don't judge this CD as bad just because it doesn't seem like it would make a good Broadway show. That's what I initially did, but once I gave it a chance, I found myself pleasantly surprised at what was really here.
