"FROZEN" ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS DECEMBER 22ND.

FROZEN.. (DISNEY)...WALT DISNEY RECORDS***.

Tracks played.....Frozen heart / Do you want to build a snowman / For the
                            first time in forever / Love is an open door / Let it go.
                            Reindeer are better than people / In summer.

The 2 disc delux version seems good value initially, and it would be if you like orchestral
music but only one disc is required to appreciate the piece. It has been heralded as almost
a broadway musical....well....I'm not sure about that. A Disney Musical,yes,but it's got a bit
of fine tuning and extra songs for Times Square! Vocals are interesting and the young performers
sing well. One of them is Idina Menzel of "Wicked" fame. All in all if you've seen the film
it'e the best musical reminder.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. NEW MUSICAL.

Tracks played.....News of Veruca / If your mother were here / It must be believed to
be seen / Strike that, reverse it. / The chocolate room / Simply second nature / Pure imagination
It must be believed to be seen Reprise.

Tuneful,unusual comes across on CD as somewhere between Mary Poppins and Matilda. The
actual stage show is a delight to the eye and wonderful family entertainment.The cd will obviously
be popular if you have seen the show."Pure imagination " is lifted from the films and stands out
as the most interesting track but otherwise it is a good musical and lyrical piece.....just not
outstanding.

COMING TO THE WEST END+PLAYLIST.COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS.SEPTEMBER 10TH.

COMING TO THE WEST END.

MISS SAIGON.

Re-worked musical from the Drury Lane production in the eighties, now in smaller theatre. Excellant
music and was a worthy follow-up to Les Mis. Some critics disliked the "message" but theatregoers
were not put off.They poured in. A revival will be a good idea as many young people have only
heard the music and not seen the show. I expect this revival to so very well. 8/10 chance of success.

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.

Tim Rice's new musical slated for later in the year. The film was a hit but I find it difficult to
realise this as a choice for a new musical. The kissing scene on the beach with the waves overlapping
the young lovers (Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster), the short fuse of Maggio played in the film by
Sinatra. (An oscar winning performance. He was good at shirt fuses) . South Pacific comes to mind.
It's the music and melodies that have to be secure.....if it's Mr Rice the lyrics will be.  7/10 chance
of success.

STEPHEN WARD.

The Profumo scandal set to dramatic ballads.   A new slant? Andrew Lloyd Webber in charge


Does this excite the public now, after fifty years ? A lot of questions about this worries me,however
there is a real person as the key figure and this worked extremely well in "Evita". At least it's not
a follow-up as Love did die at his last outing. 6/10 chance of success.

                          What a woman wants / Hold me in your heart / Raise you up/Just be.
                           Take what you got.

Tony award winner Best Musical Kinky boots is a modern catchy rhythmic musical with
an up-to date feel. It leaves behind traditional musicals and is great fun to put on in the
car CD. When it comes to the West End (originally a British film) I'm sure it will be
popular and if the book is good ,should do very well. Feel good show.*** (3*** at the moment)

COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS. 27TH MAY. new cd

CHAPLIN. from Broadway. CD.
tracks played....Sennett song / Just another day in Hollywood /All falls down.
                          What only love can see / What you gonna do / Finale Tramp
                           reprise.

Not a scintillating CD of a current Broadway musical but nontheless
it is entertaining. Capturing Charlie Chaplin's climb to the top of the
tree in America after leaving his birth country Britain. It's a concept
piece and would sit well in a theatre belonging to the current era of
interest and music. No big songs here but pleasant enough for Musical
buffs. ***.

COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS...TOP HAT....MAY 12TH.

TOP HAT.

tracks played....Overture /Puttin' on the Ritz / You're so easy
to dance with / Let's face the music and dance / Finale.

Good representation of a dancing musical. On CD it is crisp and
tuneful and the bag of Irving Berlin tunes they have dipped into come over well.
Tom Chamber's singing is a little "one Voice" at times and this can be annoying
when he has so many numbers to sing. Ensemble,good, and the orchestra
and tapping excellant. It could have been better.***.

Tommy Tune and Twiggy starred in this Gershwin inspired musical.
Good at it's time but now, it's all been done before.**.

MUSICALS FROM THE ATTIC.

MINNIE'S BOYS.....starring Shelley Winters.
tracks played...Five growing boys / Rich is / You don't have to do
it for me / Minnie's Boys / Be happy.

Check the internet to see if this very catchy tuneful show has
been released. Shelly Winters is no great singer but she can certainly
sell a song as she does on this soundtrack. In the wake of GYPSY
the familiarity of story proberbly played against this show doing
well on Broadway but it is an entertaining listen.****.

THE FANTASTICS.   Jerry Orbach.
tracks played.....Try to remember / Soon it's gonna rain.

Four piece band stops this album from being widely played. Many
singers have lifted songs from this show with much better results
than the original show album. **.

MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS..HIGH SOCIETY AT VENUE CYMRU.

HIGH SOCIETY. VENUE CYMRU LLANDUDNO TILL 2ND FEBRUARY 2013.


One can't go to see High Society without the memory of the film starring
Crosby,Sinatra and Grace Kelly at the height of their box office powers.
On film they were, of course,miming to their studio recordings and had
the opportunity of as many "takes" as it took to get everything perfect.
At Venue Cymru last night it was LIVE theatre and the cast and company
had to get it right in front of an expectant audience and they certainly
succeeded.
The director and choreographer have to be congratulated for moving the
show along at a cracking pace. The setting was a Long Island mansion in
America and throughout the show the cast handled the scenery changes
with dexterity distracting the audience from each scene change with a little downstage  vignette
then
dashing into the wings of the theatre to change costume. This alone gave
the show pulse which added to the delight as the cast dipped into a
magician's hat to pull out another Cole Porter gem.
This is the story about an upcoming marriage of a spoilt unconventional
socialite Tracy Lord dealing with her bemused unconventional ex husband
in the life of an American elite household. The difficulty of a show like
this is creating empathy with an audience listening to sophisticated witty
banter in a millionaire environment while this country is in recession.
Fortunately the pace of the show and performances of the cast treat us
to a glittering night at the theatre.Sophie Bould plays Tracy Lord. A
tricky part as people remember Katherine Hepburn and Grace Kelly
before her. No problem for Miss Bould she succeeded in capturing the
move from spoilt sophisticate to reality check thoughout the show
sharing most of the Cole Porter songs with Micheal Praed as Dexter
Haven. Another secure performance and a showstopping version
of  " I love you Samantha" into duet with Sophie and "True Love" at
 the end of the show.Teddy Kempner used his inate comic timing in song
and words and Daniel Boys and Alex Young were excellant . The 1930s
band was wonderful and so right. Only seven performers in the pit !
I can be pernickety...I'm sorry about that....but the wooden sun-lounger
in the first act should have had some high class cushions AND that seagull
upstage surveying the scene never moved... unlike the show which
moved along with superb, sophisticated,speed  and nostalgic glittering
glamour.

Go book your ticket at the theatre or grab your credit card and call
(01492) 872000 and turn up at the theatre a half hour before the show
to collect the tickets.

LES MISERABLES..THE FILM ON MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS + PLAYLIST.

LES MISERABLES...THE FILM.

TRACKS PLAYED....Valjean's soliliquy / At the end of the day
I dreamed a dream / Stars / Drink with me / Empty chairs at empty tables.
Hugh Jackman/Chorus/Anne Hathaway/Russell Crowe/Eddie Redmayne.

This CD has little to commend it against the original stage version,
unless you have only seen the film and therefore want a reminder of
an enjoyable intimate acting performance as given by the stars in this
celluloid piece.
I enjoyed the film immensely ....and the acting-singing is correct for the
film. The stage CD is far superior vocally and therefore  must remain
the best choice.
