"CAMELOT" ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS JANUARY 24TH 2016.

CAMELOT   COLUMBIA / SONY...Richard Burton,Julie Andrews.

Tracks played...

Overture / Parade / I wonder what the king is doing tonight / The simple joys of maidenhood / Camelot / C'est Moi / The lusty month of May / Then you may take me to the fair / How to handle a woman / If ever I would leave you / The seven deadly virtues / What do the simple folk do /  Finale Ultimo.

Without doubt a charming recording of this overblown show. Julie Andrews, Richard Burton and Robert Goulet are excellent and the songs very appropriate....however the Laurence Harvey British version is more complete if not vocally better.****.

tracks played....
Overture / Little old New York / Dr Brock / Artificial flowers / The picture of happiness / How the money changes hands / Good clean fun / My Miss mary / My gentle young Johnny / The picture of happiness / Little old New York.


Sprightly version of original show by Bock and Harnick, the Fiddler of the Roof writers. Not as good as the original and slightly altered from the original .probably to the good but does lose something of the first show's magic. ***.

HAMILTON.

Aaron Burn Sir / My shot / The room where in happens.

A visually exciting musical that EVERYBODY in London is going to see. Word from Broadway is excellent but the CD leaves a lot to be desired if you don't like rap, or "Talking music"however it grows on you and you can feel the charge.****.

Prologue,Chim chim cheree / The perfect nanny / Practically perfect / Jolly holiday / A spoonful of sugar / Feed the birds / Supercalifracalistic / Chim chim cheree / Let's go fly a kite / Good for nothing,Being Mrs Banks / Step in time / Anything can happen.

Al elegant version of P L Travers Mary Poppins including most of the Disney's version songs. The new songs are attractive and fit the stage performance admirably. .....but something is missing from the CD. It just needs oomph I think. It's amazing what a little oomph can do.****.
