Personals - Original London Cast

Advantages: great voices can imagine being there
Disadvantages: some songs are cut short

...This is my second fave musical. The story is so gripping full of tradgedy, romance and a bit of humor. The opening to the show is always my favourite part along with kims nightmare. On the cd the track 'Kims Nightmare' is not in full it starts from half way through and is cut short at the end also which is a little but dissapointing. The way that the sound of the helicopter starts everything off at the begining of the cd the way it does in show is great. Starting off quite then gradually getting louder sounds awsome surround sound. It makes me feel like I'm there. The voices of the cast are powerful and portrays alot of what the character is feeling at that given time which made it easier for me to imagine it when I listened to it. The voice of Lea Salonga is so beautiful. It's soft and innocent with a bit of power when needed for her... Read review

...'m also not sure why I decided to use Loreal Casting to do so, but I did, and I'm really glad of it. This was the first brand of dye that I used, and I was really pleased with the results.

Advantages: Some great songs, good cast, a classic musical
Disadvantages: Some weaker songs

...musical based on T S Eliot?s Old Possum?s Book of Practical Cats. Most of the songs are the poems from the book set to music, but some use Eliot?s other work. Trevor Nunn and Richard Stilgoe are credited with writing the additional material. As with all long-running musicals, they go through various cast lists in their time. Being a Bonnie Langford fan, I specifically wanted to buy the CDs featuring her. This set stars the original London cast from 1981, which includes Wayne Sleep, Paul Nicholas, Brian Blessed, Elaine Paige and Sarah Brightman as well as Bonnie herself. Seeta Indrani features too. She went on to play PC Datta in The Bill. THE MUSIC The CD begins with the overture and prologue, both of which contain instantly recognisable pieces of music. The first song is Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats. This is one of the best... Read review
