great collection
I bought this collection because it had a few pieces that I didn't have in other books. The music is complex enough to be interesting and easy enough so that pieces don't take a long time to learn.

Degree of difficulty
I am a bit dissapointed. The arrangement I was looking for was not in this collection. I was looking for "Tell Me on a Sunday" and the one in this edition was too simplified, primarily chordal. I finally found what I wanted in "Torch Songs" for Broadway.

Broadway Collection
Some of these scores were a bit hard for sightreading (eg. Don't cry for me, Argentina) and I was a bit disappointed with the high pitching of some, which I'm having to laboriously transpose to a key suitable for my friends' (and my) normal register voices, also sad to find no "Oliver" songs - but otherwise a great collection.

Wow!
I have kids who do tons of singing, and this will give them all endless options to choose from! There is a great cross-section between classic Broadway tunes and more recent hits - my kids are loving it!

Broadway - too contemporary
If one could see a complete lisr of the contents, one would be better able to select the book of choice, - this may be a definitive collection for Andrew Lloyd Weber et al, but I would have loved to see more Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter,etc. [Editor's note: The complete list of contents is included on the product detail page.]

The Best of Broadway Music...
You will experience some of the best songs of Broadway music in this book! There are a lot of songs so, you will have a BIG variety! I really enjoy this book...it's great. Wish it came spiral bound so, pages could be turned easily.

perfect!
This book has helped me get more acquainted with so many different musicals! There is something of everything, and this book helped me to figure out what of the something I did or didn't like! The difficulty ranges from piece to piece. If you want more overall Broadway knowledge or just beautiful songs to try out on, I would definitely recommend this book!

disappointing, as the 2nd edition has 40 less songs than the first edition and it also isn't spiral bound

Broadway Songs
I have quite a few piano books with broadway songs but this has definitely been one of the most comprehensive.
