I'm thinking of buying the Zanna, Dont! original off broadway cast recording, but im not sure if it's worth it.
worth it? or forget it?

I bought it a few months ago. I think it's decent and it's worth having but it (probably) isn't something you'll listen to on a daily basis. It's certainly worth adding to your collection though so I'd say get it.


And hang on, when did you win the discus?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this OCR. The songs are SO catchy, and I think they're really great.

I'd say it's DEFINITELY worth it.

I love it too. It's corny and cheeseball and incredibly enjoyable. It also has some great songs in there.

Yeah; it's corny, but it's fun, and Jai sounds great!

I've got to say I really love this one, too. Some of those songs are too cute for words.

When it comes to buying the Zanna Don't! CD....DON'T. It is pretty bad. Totally tuneless, with the exception of 'Fast'. Give it a miss. There are still plans to do this show on Broadway this season,I guess some people have more money than good sense.

I don't regret buying it...I don't listen to it EVERYDAY, but they've got great 'pick me up' tunes and the songs are really catchy.

I always keep the CD in my car. It's adorable, fun, and very catchy. And there are some very cool songs in there.

I love ZANNA! Probably mostly because I love Jai, but it is a really fun CD with some very cute songs. No, not my favorite music, but the story is fun and Jai's voice is amazing. Hope that helps :)

I like "Zanna, Don't!" a lot. It puts you in a good mood, and I think it's worth buying just for "Be A Man." But then I just enjoy shouting along to "Somebody say HO! (HO!) Somebody say MO! (MO!) HO! (HO!) MO (MO!)! HOMO!!"

I can't believe so many people like this show. I lent my copy to friends they all had the same thoughts about it. Stinkerooney!

If you were only judging the CD as a recording, it is good ~ not great, but good. However, the CD is alot more enjoyable if you've seen the show and know the context & meaning of the songs. Personally, I LOVED the show ~ very cute, quirky, and original, and I enjoy the CD alot more for having seen the production.
