BOOK OF MORMON +STEPHEN WARD ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS.2014

THE BOOK OF MORMON.

I went to see this show last week and can recommend a visit to anyone with
a dark sense of humour and no religious hang-ups.It's a hoot....I didn't stop
laughing the whole evening. It was packed so tickets are still expensive and you
need to be in reasonably good seats.(over £70 ). A beautifully worked ensemble,
excellant dancing, catchy music, and a wonderfully tight orchestra. All in all
a perfect night out. Is it in everybody's taste...proberbly not so if you're a litle
uneasy about controversial performances....stay away.

Tracks played on Radio show...
Two by two / You and me( but mostly me) / I am Africa / Tomorrow is a latter day.

STEPHEN WARD.

The following night I went to see this Stephan Ward the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical
and this was a somewhat disappointing night. A musical documentary was more the style
of this show with the leading character...Stephen Ward...narrating his life as if from the dead.
The first act was slow for a musical and the half-full audience didn't warm to the show till
the second half.  I purchased tickets for this show from the internet and got two half price
seats,and five minutes before curtain up, we were moved forwards to stall seats. Good value
and good seats....the music was good...the singing was good... but as a whole something was
 missing. Perhaps it needed star names. Perhaps it needed much more!

Tracks played on show...
When you get to know me / 1963 / I'm hopeless when it comes to you.
