The start of a new series of Blogs concerning musicals I have seen and then got the CD with
a full personal review of the show PLUS a review of the CD available at this time.
There will be no playlists in future just a different reviewed show every week. this week......
THE BOOK OF MORMON.....seen February 2014 in London. (In all £80 each ticket )
THE best show in London at the moment and the full house that I was sitting in during the
annoying tube strike loved every minute of it. Adult humour is a slight understatement and if
you are offended by a sexual or satirical script then this is not for you. I'm approaching
seventy and I didn't stop laughing or enjoying a superb entertainment. Time went by so
fast...I sat there wanting more as the full house filed out. I was walking back to my hotel
so I did not need to catch a taxi.Utterly professional performances throughout and the
music and lyrics excellent and catchy. There is no wonder that you have to book well
in advance to get a ticket for this show.*****. 5star.
THE BOOK OF MORMON.CD...GHOSTLIGHT RECORDS....Available at your
local record store or online.....£11.( Will get cheaper I'm sure )
Complete music from the show. There may be a few extras...scene links....entract....
small reprises.....but they are trivial omissions. Vocally strong and clearly orchestrated
with many Chorus numbers , the whole album is a melodic joy! I did not expect this
initially when I bought the album.(I had not seen the show at this time) I knew the
show had taken off in America but this doesn't always repeat itself in the West End
unless it is very good. Both the CD and the show are 5star.*****.
