CHICAGO NATIONAL TOUR REVIEW!!

          Last night, I attended a performance of the current national tour of "CHICAGO".

          It was phenomenal. I enjoyed every second of it. It was unlike anything I've ever seen before.    Everything about this show is amazing. The score, the book, the cast, the orchestra...everything.


        Bianca Marroquin as Roxie: She is a STAR. She seemed to be giving the performance of her life. Her voice and acting shined. She has excellent comedic timing and is very likeable. I want to see her do way more.

      Terra MacLeod was Velma, She was excellent. She sings like an angel. At the end of "All That Jazz" she sang it higher than its usually sung and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I just love fierce belters like her in general. APPLAUSE

    Jeff McCarthy as Billy Flynn: TERRY! TERRY! TERRY FROM SIDE SHOW!!! He was excellent! He gave such an amazing performance. He has such a great voice and he is such a great actor. APPLAUSE!!!! #TERRYFROMSIDESHOW

     Other great performances were Roz Ryan as Mama Morton, Jacob Keith Watson as Amos, and C. Newcomer as Mary Sunshine.

   The choreography and music was spot on. The entire show was so amazing that I have no words. I need to see this show another 3000000 times.

 Shockingly, this was my first time seeing "CHICAGO"  I am a familiar with their stunt casting in the Broadway production and I have no idea how a lot of those happened.

    If "CHICAGO" is near you, GO SEE IT! I give it 5 STARS!!!!!

"The Phantom of the Opera" Restaged National Tour Review

Image
    As I am sure you already know, "The Phantom of the Opera" is a world wide phenomenon. It is the longest running show in Broadway history, it has been translated into 13 different languages, played in 30 different countries,  has been seen by over 140 million people, and is probably one of the world's most successful musicals. It continues to run on Broadway, in the West End, on tour, and more. So it was only a matter of time before I saw it live, right?    While on a trip to Cleveland, I was able to catch the production that is currently on tour across North America and it was my first time seeing the show live and in person. This touring production is not the original Hal Prince staging, but the re-envisioned production by Laurence Connor. Meaning, that this is not the production that is currently running on Broadway or in the West End, although the original written material remains in tact. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this production, as I had hear

7 Days of "Les Miserables", Day 4: The 10th Anniversary Concert (1995)

                                                Day 4: The 10th Anniversary Concert!   Okay, I am not going to lie...but I thought I would have way more to say about this concert than I do. There were just so many cast members reprising their roles and I don't have anything else to say about those people. So, this review will just be touching on the cast members I have not already reviewed.    I have already reviewed, Colm Wilkinson (Jean Valjean), Phillip Quast (Javert), Alun Armstrong (Thenardier), Michael Ball (Marius), Michael Maguire (Enjorlas), and Judy Kuhn (Cosette).    The first cast member I have not already reviewed is Ruthie Henshall in the role of Fantine. As Fantine, Ruthie Henshall is my absolute favorite in the role. She has such a gorgeous voice and her face just has so much emotion to it. She doesn't need to cry or do anything to convey the emotion on her face. It is just so natural and believable. Ruthie Henshall as Fantine    Next on my list, is

Carol Channing in "Hello, Dolly!" (1996)

Image
   Although Hello, Dolly! might not have been the very last musical of the golden age of Broadway, in a way it was. This is because the creator of the title role, Carol Channing, played the role on and off from 1964 to 1997, totaling in over 5,000 performances for Channing in the role of Dolly Gallagher Levi. Every time Carol Channing returned to the role, she was able to restore a small piece of the golden age of Broadway. Towards the end of Channing's final run as Dolly Levi, her final touring production of the show was professionally filmed in Melbourne, Florida. Although this filmed version of the show was never commercially released, it can be viewed on YouTube for ages to come.    Hello, Dolly! is a musical comedy that is based on Thornton Wilder's The Matchmaker and tells the story of a widow named Dolly Gallagher Levi who intends on marrying the well known half a billionaire, Horace Vandergelder. Also in the mix are Vandergelder's employees, Cornelius Hackl and
