    Colored Lights: The Broadway Album is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson. Released on October 28, 2003 on the Fynsworth Alley label, it includes songs from nine pre-existing theatre musicals and one from her own original theatre musical Skirts.

    The album was later re-released to streaming services in 2024, under the titles Who Are You Now?[2] and I'm the Greatest Star.[3]

    Reception[edit]

    AllMusic were favourable in their review of the album, commenting that "the track selections are wise, ranging from familiar ("On My Own") to obscure (the upbeat Latin pop song "Raise the Roof"), with traditional and modern imprints stamped according to her taste...The very fine orchestrations are secondary to her vocals, there are no duets, and backup singers are in limited supply. But it works. She is at ease, aims to please, and obviously enjoys every bit of what she's doing. The showstopper "They All Laughed" casts a sweet, frenetic spell and is vocally and instrumentally the highlight of the album—most particularly when she chuckles, rumbles, and squeaks at the finish. There are two things requested of listeners in order to fully enjoy this project: that they be fans of Gibson and fans of theater. If you fit the playbill, you're in luck."[1]
