Richard Rodgers - An Enchanted Evening Reviews: A real stinker  2009-10-29 - Oy, what a disappointment. Very poor recording quality of this live performance -- sounds like someone on the front row recorded it with an old cassette tape pocket device. The Judi Dench number ("Sixteen Going On Seventeen") is a hoot, and there's a pretty colorful number from Oklahoma ("Kansas City"), but they can't compensate for the rest of this very sub-par project. It is anything but "enchanting".
false advertising?  2009-02-06 - MS ANDERSON, THOUGH LISTED IN THE CREDITS AND ON THE FRONT OF THE JACKET,
DOES NOT APPEAR IN A PERFORMANCE ROLE. SHE DOES A SHORT INTRODUCTION ONLY. THE MUSICAL PORTION OF THE DVD IS COMMENDABLE, HOWEVER.
Send In the Clowns by Judi  2009-01-11 - 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.
AN ENCHANTED EVENING  2008-02-08 - VERY VERY ENJOYABLE-- GREAT MUSIC, GREAT PERFORMERS. LOVELY EVENING WHICH GAVE A LASTING PLEASENT FEELING.
If you like Richard Rodger's music - this one's a keeper  2007-03-15 - 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.
