Phantasmic

Advantages: Brilliant tracks
Disadvantages: Vocal ability of some of the cast

...first went to see The Phantom of the Opera in the theatre and ever since that day I have been trasfixed, seeing it again another four times on various stages around England. The wild costumes and beautiful sets fascinate and lure me to the show. The Phantom Of The Opera was first brought to London's West End by Webber in October 1986 and soon went onto grace the stages of New York in January 1988. The Phantom is an adaptation of Gastron Leroux 1910 ...
...always to be make The Phantom of the Opera into a film. News of this move worried me; very rarely have I seen the move from theatre to film go smoothly and see it work. But Phantom fan's seemed reasured to hear that Webber himself along with Joel Schumacher would be writting and directing the film. With a cast of un-knowns actors, I once again worried about how the cast would cope with the theatrical singing they would have to do; a fear that wasn't ...

Review of King And I, The [Remastered] - Original Cast

High Fives all round!

Advantages: good mix, energetic, fun
Disadvantages: /

When I was a bit younger, I used to watch Australian kids show Hi 5 on Milkshake every morning religiously before school. It is a programme aimed at pre-school and primary school children, teaching them various things through the methods of song and dance. Naturally, there are five presenters, all of which are Australian. Okay so the education side is a bit young fo rme, but I do find the music very entertaining on the show! Now I do not have the ...
...I did buy one of their several albums. This one was Hi 5 Hits. This album is very attractive, a very colourful cover with little cartoon images of the band: Nathan Foley, Charley Delaney, Tim Harding, Kellie Crawford (then Hoggart), and Kathleen de Leon. It is very bright and draws your attention in for sure! Looking on the back I noticed there were a total of twenty one songs. I will let you discover the wonders of them all yourself, but to give ...

Review of Hi-5 Hits - Hi-5

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 ...
