Avenue Q (London)

Advantages: Hilarious songs and story line
Disadvantages: Small theatre

...one or two songs from Avenue Q through their travels on the internet such as "The Internet is for Porn" or "If You Were Gay" and will most likely have had a chuckle at these songs. These and many more make up what is the hilarious story and songs of Avenue Q in the Noel Coward theatre. So what is Avenue Q? Well to be as basic as I can, it is a Sesame Street parody although this really isn't the best of descriptions one can give it. While you do ...
...street in New York called Avenue Q and it all begins when a recent graduate, Princeton, moves out of home and looks to start life on his own. You are greeted with the first song, "It Sucks to be Me" which also introduced the rest of the cast - Brian, Christmas Eve, Nicky, Rod, Kate Monsters, Trekkie Monster and Gary Coleman. In some cases you can really see what the writers were trying to parody - Nicky and Rod are the equivalent of Bert and Ernie ...

Review of Avenue Q (The Musical) [PA] - Original Broadway Cast

No one puts baby in the corner!

Advantages: Great dancing, great singing, small, intimate theatre
Disadvantages: None

I saw this show on the stage recently and absolutely loved it. Like most women, this is one of my favourite movies and I was excited about seeing it Live to see how they would do it. It was also my hen night so I went with 15 of my closest friends and had a absolute wail of a time. This show is definitely for girls, leave the men at home. Most of the audience was women with only a handful of men and I'm sure they felt very uncomfortable. The theatre ...
...the atmosphere as you believe Johnny is dancing just for you! The cast are abolutely amazing, the dancing is brilliant and they stick pretty much to the storyline which I like. The Johnny character was very believeable and was the best dancer on the stage. At one point he took his top off and the whole theater just exploded. If you loved the film then you will definitely love the musicaland I think the CD will be an excellent addition to anyone's ...

Review of Dirty Dancing (The Classic Story On Stage) - Original London Cast

A thoroughly enjoyable Musical soundtrack

Advantages: Fantasic atmosphere; exciting and intriguing
Disadvantages: Some weak links, varied music not for everybody

My brother went to see the show up in London just before it moved to Broadway, and came home raving about how wonderful it was; happily he also brought home the soundtrack to the Musical. As an illustration of how good it is, we have been fighting over the CD since! The sheer genius to combine so many Billy Joel songs in to one musical- a coherent musical with a plot at that- cannot be understated. The songs render deliciously, Micheal Cavanaugh ...
...Joel himself in some places. The CD takes you through many of the Musical highlights, each track beautifully recorded live. The music is atmospheric and delightful. The style is ranged over a wide and varied selection; from peppy jazz numbers to harder rock pieces, and even a few Classical attempts by Billy Joel, each an emulation of a different composer and extremely well executed. Evidently, then, this is not a CD for someone interested in only ...

Review of Movin' Out - Original Broadway Cast

How High would this reach?

Advantages: good songs, good price
Disadvantages: generally appeals only to HSM fans

...while to catch on to High School Musical. In fact, I ended up seeing High School Musical 3 before I saw the first two! Though I have now caught myself up and along with that I am becoming more familiar with the songs. In an attempt to fully connect with the music, I found myself borrowing the CDs from a friend. One of which was of course the High School Musical 2 CD soundtrack. The album can be recognized by its aqua blue cover. On the front, 'High ...
...you are a fan of High School Musical, but I will admit that it is not one I would rush out and buy myself. It is a good CD to listen to if you were given it as a gift or, in my case, if you borrow it from a friend. Though I feel you should only spend money on it if you know you are going to like it and you do like High School Musical! It is great to listen to, generally quite upbeat, and well worth giving it a go! Amy 2009 Track listing can be found ...

A Beautiful but Mysterious Story, Definitely Maybe...

Definitely Maybe is one of the movies that I had fun watching. I never got bored for even a second between the movie and I each and every moment I was wondering what will happen next.
