Album Notes: Personnel: Sarah Brightman (vocals); Gunther Laudahn (vocals, guitar, bouzouki, harp, lute, sitar, keyboards); Markus Birkle (guitars); Markus Koessler (keyboards, bass instrument); Jan-Eric Kohrs (keyboards); Flo Dauner (drums); Roland Peil, Ronnie Barak (percussion). Recording information: MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada. Considering her lengthy career in musicals and her onetime role as wife and muse of Broadway's golden boy Andrew Lloyd Webber, it's surprising that it took until 2004 for Sarah Brightman to release a live record. THE HAREM WORLD TOUR: LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS is the recorded version of a popular PBS special that presents a performance of one of Brightman's most elaborate tours in one of the most lavish cities on the planet. The tour came on the heels of her 12th record, HAREM, a Middle Eastern-flavored affair. Brightman's always been one to experiment, as evidenced by the incredible variety in the song selection. Of course, she does a powerful rendition of a medley of songs from Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, in which she starred. However, she also adds her own touch to everything from compositions by Dvorak to such rock classics as Kansas's "Dust in the Wind" and Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale." Predictably, the atmosphere is charged with the overwhelming energy of a performer who has lived on stage for most of her life, and THE HAREM WORLD TOUR marks her long overdue live debut on CD.

Advantages: Wonderful, beautiful voice of power. Operatic in quality. Disadvantages: None that I can think of.
...a delight to listen to. Whether you listen on radio, tape or cd a certain radiance shines through. To a certain extent I would say that SarahBrightman needs an acquired taste in music. Though as I have already said she is extremely flexible and it is for this reason that I can see her appealing to most taste?s.
Dive, Time to Say Goodbye, Eden, La Luna and SarahBrightman: Classics - have sold more than 15 million copies, and her dramatic and alluring concert performances have thrilled live audiences and hundreds of millions of TV viewers worldwide. The way she presents herself in such a sophisticated dress style she is an absolute feminine diva.
In her latest album, HaremSarah displays more of her unique quality by singing a perfect blend of musical elements from India and the Middle East. Sarah easily adapts to any style of music...

Advantages: An OK read Disadvantages: Dissappointing!!
.... They have so much in common including their bad luck with men.
Jamie is the narrator of the story (written in the first person), and she tells their story. When Nadine, Jamie's stuck up younger sister tells Jamie and her family she is getting married, Jamie is devastated. Why should her snotty little sister get married before her! And when she is introdced to her fiance...she is even more devastated as he is the love of Jamies life. Her first love, CJ who she met 10 years ago at theatre camp but who disappeared afterwards leaving Jamie pining for the rest of her days. But here he is now stood in her living room, and she cannot believe it.
She and Izzy have always had a dream, a double wedding in Vegas.
So when Nadine starts her wedding it seems to be the perfect time to get away from it all and swan off to Vegas to find a husband...

Advantages: Luxurious rooms, dining, fountain show, service Disadvantages: Check in and general bedm in reception.
...For me only the Bellagio would do once we had decided to visit LasVegas as the second stop on our honeymoon just over two years ago. The hotel featured in the Oceans' 11 film which I loved and I was particularly looking forward to seeing that famous water fountain show.
The hotel is located roughly half way along the main Strip area in Vegas, it has an Italian theme and is beautiful to look at from the outside. It is set back from the street and the front of the building gently curves around "Lake Como". Providing it is not too windy, from 3pm in the afternoon the fountain show runs every fifteen minutes making for excellent photo opportunities and selling lots of postcards.
Booking and prices
We organised our whole trip with Kuoni a few months in advance. Strangely in this modern age, we had to wait a few days...
