Musical book❤️
This is the audio book I have been waiting for! I have never purchased an audio book (I believe no two people read a book the same), but I decided to try it for a musical. As a child I grew up listening to Disney on LPs (yes I just dated myself) and Spin brought me back to my childhood! Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next one!

Classic fairytale with a musical twist - amazing cast and narration!
I absolutely LOVED this reimagining of the Rumpelstiltskin story in a musical format! Jim Dale's narration is, as always, incredible. What makes it even better, though, is the fantastic cast that plays Rump, the King, Jane, and all the other characters in this updated fairytale. There's so much to love about this audiobook!

Cute fairytale, excellent performance
This is an adorable musical/fairy tale. Predictable for an adult, very appropriate for kids. Needless to say, with an all-star cast like this, the performance was flawless. There were lots of sound effects that enhanced the performance and made me laugh. Listened to it in one sitting. Normally, I'm not much of a fan of musicals, but the storyline carried me through some of the repetitious musical themes. Recommend!

A really fun take on an old fairytale
A fun version of Rumpelstiltzkin with catchy melodies and an ending that's somewhat kinder than the original. I found myself laughing throughout and just really had fun with this. It definitely reminded me of old radio shows, although the production is more polished than a "live" show would be. I would recommend this to those who enjoy musicals, as well as fans of fairytale retellings. This would be a fun road-trip listen.

I loved the music, adored the story and the appreciated the witty humor. It is perfect for running the kids around in carpool or for a brisk walk (warning...you will begin singing...my husband did). I will recommend this to all my family and friends.

Dead End the Musical is a powerful and entertaining adaptation of Dead End, Sidney Kingsley’s landmark 1935 stage production. Like Kingsley’s play, Dead End the Musical shines a light on the social ills of a time and place that still resonate today: poverty, crime, class struggle, and economic and social inequality. It is also a story about justice and redemption, love and desire, hopes and dreams.

Dead End the Musical is a powerful and entertaining adaptation of Dead End, Sidney Kingsley’s landmark 1935 stage production. Like Kingsley’s play, Dead End the Musical shines a light on the social ills of a time and place that still resonate today: poverty, crime, class struggle, and economic and social inequality. It is also a story about justice and redemption, love and desire, hopes and dreams.

On a dark, wintry day, Eliza Grey receives a mysterious letter from her ailing Nana Mora begging her to come for a visit. This is an easy "Yes". Eliza has always preferred Nana Mora's beach cottage on St. Simons Island to the apartment she and her mom call home in the city. The island is a magical place where stories and legends grow as thick as the Spanish moss dangling in the trees. Now, Nana Mora's eyesight is fading, and there's something she wants to show Eliza before it’s totally gone: a mythical place locals refer to as Sirens Harbor.
