STAGES.....JOSH GROBAN...REPRISE.
tracks played....
Pure imagination / Bring him homes / Le Temps Des Catherdrales / All I ask of you.
Old devil moon / Empty chairs at empty tables.
A beautifully sung album.Josh Groban has chosen some well chosen paths as well as some
interesting new material for inclusion on this theatrical performance. "Over the rainbow" and
the crooned "Try to remember" are perhaps the only slip-ips on the album , otherwise it's all
a sumptuous delight.*****.

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS APRIL 19TH 2015
ANNIE GET YOUR GUN...BERNADETTE PETERS...TOM WOPAT. Broadway Angel
TRACKS PLAYED....
There's no business like show business / Doin' what comes naturally / The girl that I marry.
You can't get a man with a gun / Moonshine Lullaby / They say it's wonderful / My defences
are down / I got the sun in the morning / Anything you can do / Finale Act 2.
Wonderful Irving Berlin score featuring so many songs that have become standards that it leaves
me breathless to realise how professional this musical songwriter was. I have produced the show
and know the songs keep the show going because of their familiarity....but it does always need
a little fixing and updating. I put a catwalk around the orchestra to enable easy scene changes and to
bring the songs and performers closer to their audience. This gives the show a kick, and allows for
more glamorous sets. In this particular version they have cut "I'm an indian too" and "Colonel
Buffalo Bill" but included the two ingenue songs which always gave me problems on my
production. Added here, is "Old Fashioned wedding" which is a good duet for the two main leads
but gives them even more to do in the show. To get new audiences to appreciate it ...something
extra needs to be done. The CD is fine if sometimes Bernadette Peters over eggs some of the
lyrics but you won't find a better recording with it's updated orchestral performances. ****.

SWEET CHARITY ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS 12TH APRIL 2015
SWEET CHARITY....GWEN VERDON / JOHN MC MARTIN. COLUMBRIA BROADWAY MASTERWORKS.
Tracks played...
Charity's soliloquy / Big Spender / Rich man's frug / If my friends could see me now / There's gotta be something better than this / I'm the bravest individual / Sweet Charity / I'm a brass band.
An excellent musical of it's type. In the sixties, it was a very hip dance musical that was greatly
appreciated by youth followers. It's appeal did not continue with older folk however and it has never
been revived with great success. This album demonstrates the loss. Gwen Verdon's performance
has never been bettered and this is a far more 'real' album than the Shirley McLaine film album
although I do miss the persuasive singing of Sammy Davis Jnr as Big Daddy. An enjoyable CD. ****.
PLAYLIST.
Moonlight becomes you....Bing Crosby....THE VERY BEST OF....****.
Baubles, bangles and beads.....Kay Starr.....MOVIN' ON BROADWAY.***.
