DEBORAH GIBSON
"COLORED LIGHTS: THE BROADWAY ALBUM"
Fynsworth Alley (302 062 195 2)
Pop artist Deborah Gibson has several Broadway shows to her
credit including Eponine in "Les Miserables," Sandy and
Rizzo in "Grease," Fanny Brice in an American tour of "Funny
Girl," Belle in "Beauty and the Beast," Gypsy Rose Lee in
"Gypsy" and Sally Bowles in the current revival of "Cabaret"
among others. Now she releases her first Broadway solo
album, "Colored Lights." Her arrangements are pop sounding
and aren't always faithful to the source-show
orchestrations. She includes a Peter Allen tune from the new
Hugh Jackman success "The Boy From Oz" plus songs from her
many shows. She has a big vocal sound and her orchestrations
compliment her voice well. It's an impressive debut album
for a pop artist who has also done well in musical theater
roles.
