Advantages: Compelling listening Disadvantages: You can't get the songs out of your head!!
...a performance of Blood Brothers without crying (which has been quite a few times!!) and the soundtrack brings back many of those feelings!
Basically what I'm trying to say is if your familiar with the songs and enjoyed the musical, this is a must have in your CD collection. ...
Advantages: Brings back the memories of the show, great if you havn't Disadvantages: n/a
Barry Manilow's Copacabana was welcomed with great enthusiasm when it hit the West End as a Musical. I was lucky enough to see this musical and it has gone down with me as one of the best I have ever seen, and I have seen a few.
You may wonder how a song like Copacabana could be made into a musical, but with over 2 and a half hours of great music, Copacabana was just the tip of the Iceberg. The music in this show was full of energy, humour, some ... ...lyrics .
The Copacabana Story
Stephen (Gary Wilmot) is writing a song, it is about a showgirl based in the Copa, a nightclub from 45 years ago just after World War II, as he decides on her name "Lola" we are taken back to the year 1947 where a girl named "Lola" from Oklahoma arrives by train at Grand Central Station. Standing with her suitcases, many other girls start to join her from other trains ...
Advantages: Excellent mix of music, very easy listening and full performance. Disadvantages: Repitition
...a catalyst for future musicals. Cats became London's longest-running musical in 1989 when it played its 3358th performance at the New London Theatre. In 1996 it became the longest running musical ever to play in the West End or on Broadway. It is probably Lord Lloyd Webber's best known work.
Thankfully we managed to see the production London Company on it's farewell tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre about 2 years ago and we will always treasure ... ...when the tribe of Jellicle Cats reunites to celebrate who they are. The cats emerge one by one, singing of their unique abilities and special traits in a fusion of poetry and dance. But the cats are not alone - humans (the audience) are present in the cats' private world. The cats are at first reluctant and suspicious to include others in their domain. They are proud, however, and they explain to their human visitors who they are and reveal that ...
Advantages: Great music, clever lyrics, amazing performances Disadvantages: The song 'Who's The Man'
...onto the opinion.
The Witches of Eastwick is the second musical by Dempsey and Rowe to hiot the West End, and is enjoying the success that the first one (The Fix) also deserved. The music is enjoyable, the lyrics are artful and funny and the performances are truly incredible. The show takes its inspiration equally from the original book and the film, which shows through in the opening number, which is far closer in feel to the gbook than the film ... ...the harmony of the three witches - absolutely delicious, if one can use such a word about music. I heartily reccommend this CD as an excellent record of the stage production and as a generally good listen. Fabulous, musical, funny performances of an excellent new score (knocks Mr Lloyd-Webber into a cocked hat) which should be enjoyed by everyone from overture to finale. ...
Advantages: Exciting, unusual, family show Disadvantages: None
Varekai is another superb Cirque Du Soleil masterpiece. I took my family to this show in the Royal Albert Hall (Grandparents, Parents and kids aged 12 and 8) and they all thoroughly enjoyed the show. The show runs in London until 10th February so book now if you want to see something quite different but spectacular.
For people who have never been to one of Cirque's performances it is difficult to describe so here goes! Varekai is a beautiful combination ... ...Think of it as a very modern day circus style show with amazingly talented performers in breathtaking costumes with a specific theme throughout.
The set design is fantastic and based on the inside of a forest. The forest is made up of vertical bamboo sticks which soar into the Royal Albert's dome. The stage comes right out into the middle of the Hall and the view from the stalls is excellent. Through the show two singers gently support each scene ...
