review of Sorts

Tonight i attended the Civic Theatre in Auckland for the production The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

have to say this was one show where the men outshone he ladies big time. Especially stunning was the performance of a song fro the new musical Love Never Dies by Blake Bowden. What a beautiful voice, just wated to hear more. Pity he wasnt used much!
Highlights included Evita as sung by Delia Hannah but havve to say halter neck dresses on women of a certain age are not flattering and detracted from her performance of Memory.
Another higlht was The Phantom of the Opera aas sung by Trisha Crowe. Awesome last note. Her duet with Kirsten Hobbs of Pie Jesu was outsanding also.
Low points for me were The last note of Music of the night which was slightly flat.
The Use of AV screens was excelelnt however if I saw another falling rose petal i would be too soon.
All in all a good production but not one I would go back to again and again.
But if you do go No Matter What and Whistle down the Wind are worth waiting for.
Could have done with more Joseph, perhaps Blake Bowden sing Close every Door would have been a welcome addition.
