Editorial review
Previously known for writing the immortal theme to the classic sitcom Cheers, Craig Safan was a novel choice to score the 1984 sci-fi adventure The Last Starfighter, and while some elements of the music have dated poorly, it nevertheless remains one of the most intriguing and original cosmic-themed soundtracks of the post-Star Wars era. Safan emphasizes both halves of the space opera equation, employing an overstuffed orchestra to create a series of epic, heroic themes favoring time-honored melodic idioms over modern synthesizer beeps and blips--fanfare brass, sweeping strings and martial rhythms evoke the classic adventure scores of Hollywood's golden era, and save for a handful of ill-considered concessions to mid-Eighties electronics, The Last Starfighter proves a surprisingly timeless and even traditional listening experience. Intrada's 1996 reissue is the definitive edition, roughly doubling the amount of material included on the previous Southern Cross release. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
THE LAST STARFIGHTER: A New Musical
Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording
music and lyrics by SKIP KENNON
book by FRED LANDAU
"I've been a fan of Skip Kennon's work for over twenty years, going back to our early days as students of Lehman Engel in the BMI Musical Theater Workshop. I've loved his scores to FEATHERTOP and HERRINGBONE and TIME AND AGAIN. And it's wonderful to see him back on the board with THE LAST STARFIGHTER, contributing an evocative, exciting and emotionally moving score that's certain to add to his already well-deserved stature as an original and powerful voice in the American Musical Theater."
- ALAN MENKEN, eight-time Oscar-winning film and Broadway composer
"With THE LAST STARFIGHTER, Skip Kennon has managed to create something that's not just zany sci-fi but also smart musical theatre. The score had me over the moon, pun intended.

Out of this World!!dmann wrote on July 19, 2007
I had seen and (mildly) enjoyed the movie on which this is based but was not a huge fan, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to see the movie again. I really listened to this CD more out of curiousity... "they made a musical out of what?" What I heard blew my socks off. The songs made me laugh, they made me cry... they made me play the CD over and over and over again! I am particularly enraptured by "Love is Like Water" and "Father to Son" This is definitely a "must listen", especially for all musical theatre fans, whether or not you think science fiction is "your" genre.
