Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I gave the CD and DVD of Stars and the Moon to a friend, who is also a theater director at the University of the Philippines. He is the one who introduced me to Betty Buckley. We both watched it and have the same reaction towards the DVD. It is very touching and an emotional experience, especially for us who are fans of Betty Buckley. I first heard her Carnegie performance on CD and ever since became a big fan of hers. However, to see her perform is another experience. I must admit that some of the songs here are unfamiliar. However, Betty Buckley performed it in such a way that the songs are transformed into monologues. It is as if she is speaking to her audience. For instance, her take on "Stars and the Moon" is really definitive. Some would claim that Audra McDonald's version is the best. Having heard both version, on the audio alone, the bittersweet and irony of the song is perfectly delivered by Betty Buckley. She is a very relaxed singer. One could see that she does not only sing. The lyrics seem not memorized but appear to be thought spontaneously by the singer. She is a real storyteller on all those songs. This is highly recommended.
