Theatre Week

Posted by: Mr Underhill on 30 August 2013

For our holiday this week we have been doing a week of theatre, seeing one or two performances a day. The musicals include:

 

1. Lion King;

2. Jersey Boys; and

3. Phantom of the Opera.

 

LK was a request by one of my daughters; we all felt it was disappointing, and I would say - just stick to the film.

 

Jersey Boys we saw last night, the story of The Four Seasons - superb. Great music well delivered, and with enough drama to hang the songs on an engaging plot.

 

Phantom is tonight, my wife an I saw it 25 years ago, but the girls have never seen it live. I am looking forward to what they think of it.

 

One of the non-musicals was War Horse. Excellent - with strong music content.

Spam A Lot was on the list, but I ordered the tickets until I hit the budget limit I had set.

 

Saw Phantom last night - excellent. Best version I have seen as the voices were uniformly first class.

 

If you haven't seen Jersey Boys I would strongly recommend it.

I don't generally do stage shows, I prefer music. I think Barnam was the last show I went to!
