This DVD is a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves great entertainment. I am a huge fan of Kristin Chenoweth and in this production she shines like none other. The woman is AMAZING! Her facial expressions with the perfect comic timing are just wonderful. If that wasn't entertaining enough, when she sings she blows you away with her vocal range (in "Glitter and Be Gay")along with the other songs which she sounds just like an angel. Kristin was born to be a stage performer.To watch Kristin as Cunegonde in Candide is like watching a master craftsman working her magic. A SONG has no better friend than Kristin Chenoweth! I think the rest of the cast were a great compliment to the show as well. Paul Groves done a wonderful job as Candide, working very well with Kristin. He too, has wonderful comic timing. Patti LaPone was also great as the "Old Lady". This DVD is very much worth the money. It is a show you will watch again and again. Watching it again you will be surprised at what you missed the first time!Read full review
Pure Magic. Wonderful music. Great lyrics. My favorite musical and one I saw live in Chicago when I was young. It brought back all the mirth, music and melody. Oh! To see those days again. I hope you will cherish this as much as I.

I never thought I'd find a musical I liked...until I saw Candide. The cast is astounding, the music amazing, and the sexual jokes hilarious! Kristen Chenoweth shows off her stuff in "Glitter and Be Gay" with ridiculous writing. And who did that? My favorite Broadway composer, Leonard Bernstein. That man is amazing, as displayed in Candide. The music is catchy and fun! The other great thing about Candide is the set up. I love how the orchestra, choir, and cast are all integrated into the musical, not seperated as I usually see. This is a great DVD to buy, especially if you're not looking for a boring performance about something with "deeper meaning". This is truly a masterpiece and something that everyone can enjoy.
This is one of the best burlesque musicals I have seen. Excellent production and casts. It helps a little if you are at least minimally familiar with Voltaire's philosophy.
