Reception

Critical reception

Matthew Murray gave the recording four out of five stars, praising the orchestration and the cast's performance, particularly Betty Buckley's rendition of "Memory". However, he was wary of "the unconvincing Brit[ish] accents and American vocal mannerisms."[3]

Commercial performance

The album was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on December 5, 1988.[1][4] According to Playbill, it has sold over 2 million copies[5] and is the 16th-best-selling cast recording in the United States of all time.[1]

Accolades

The recording won Best Cast Show Album at the 26th Annual Grammy Awards.[6]
