Editorial Review:

The final performance of Smokey Joe's Cafe: The Songs of Leiber and Stollers, the longest-running musical revue in Broadway history, was recorded live at Broadway's Virginia Theatre featuring the original Tony Award-nominated cast in a non-stop celebration of more than 40 songs that provided the soundtrack to the lives of a generation of Americans. Incredibly, they were all the work of a single songwriting team, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, whose extraordinary list of hits includings "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog," "Treat Me Nice," "Stand by Me," "Spanish Harlem," and appropriately, "On Broadway."

Customer Reviews:

Awesome show and tape!

What can you say? Great music, amazing cast, well-recorded - the only thing better is to see Smokey Joe's Cafe live at El Portal Theatre in the San Fernando Valley - original cast memebers DeLee Lively and Robert Torti will be in it with TC Carson from Living Single, Sharon Catherine Blanks (formerly Sharon Brown) from Dreamgirls, Rent, and Joseph... on Broadway, Jackie Sieden from Jersey Boys and Hairspray, and more...[...]

Love that Lieber and Stoller

I was lucky enough to see the show on Broadway back in 1999 and had a great time enjoying the music I had grown up with once again. This is a high energy musical review of two of our most prolific American song writing teams. There music has spanned several generations and been recorded by some of the greats: from Big Mama Thornton to Elvis, to Ben E King.
If your looking for a truly fun few hours of entertainment, This is an ideal pick.

Fun,fun,fun

Bought the DVD having just seen a live performance at the Cabaret Theater in Ashland, Oregon. Wanted to be able to recreate the experience. The DVD is great, with good video and excellent audio. As always, the live performance can't be duplicated, but the DVD is a very good way to relive the experience, and keep the memories alive when the organic memory weakens.
