This five-disc collection of show tunes covers a myriad of styles and subjects, from the bawdy (Chicago) to the family-friendly (Sound of Music) and a whole lot in between. At 100 tracks, it's a bit of a daunting listen, especially considering the fact that musicals tend to follow story lines. Apart from not being very cohesive, there is also the problem that most of the cuts on 100 Hits: Musicals are not culled from the original, or most widely respected and reviewed, productions.
