A Compilation Of Two Existing Concert DVDs--Great Entertainment, But Don't Repurchase If You Already Own Them!
While John Barrowman is undoubtedly best known in the United States for his "Dr. Who" and "Torchwood" alter ego Captain Jack Harkness (I won't mention his earlier TV experiments in Central Park West and Titans), this is a show man who was meant to sing. It is clearly a passion and his exuberance is infectious. I was lucky enough to see Barrowman in the intimate Los Angeles production of Sondheim's "Putting It Together" and it was perfection.

This collectors edition contains both of John Barrowman's live performance DVD's, so this contains no new material for those of you who already have one or both of his DVD's.
