COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF TH MUSICALS SPECIAL " EBENEZER SCROOGE" THE MUSICAL

EBENEZER SCROOGE..THE MUSICAL...THEATR COLWYN..COLWYN BAY  17TH NOVEMBER TO 19TH NOVEMBER WITH SATURDAY MATINEE.


This is a new sung-through version of the classic "A Christmas Carol " by Charles Dickens and
adapted by myself with music written and arranged by Peter Williams.
It is produced by The Colwyn Abbey Players , directed by myself and the musical director is,
of course Peter Williams.

It has been in workshop, and rehearsal since the beginning of the year and although we have written
smaller musicals for schools and one musical for Llandudno Youth Music Theatre this is our first
steps in a full-length musical.

Written about twenty years ago, when we decided to make it more vocal than script it has now been
adapted to fit our local theatre and the Colwyn Abbey players. It takes a few new looks at this favoured story of a  disagreeable miser who is visited by spectres in a nightmare and changes his
outlook on life and love.

I will be playing some songs on my "MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS " show on Tudno fm 107.8
on Sunday afternoons and you can listen online at www.tudno.co.uk and click to LISTEN LIVE.

COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS FEATURING " MISS SAIGON" OCTOBER 9TH 2016.

MISS SAIGON.... FIRST NIGHT RECORD.  LEA SALONGA...JONAPHAN  PRICE.

Tracks played.....

The heat is on / The last night of the world / If you want to die in bed / I'd give my life for you.

The best full version of  MISS SAIGON on the market. The follow-up from LES MIS  but not
quite as good.....some good strong ballads but from a CD point of view something is missing.
Still , it's very good and perhaps it has improved since this recording and is now, possibly better.****.
