Just heard for the first time the OLC of "Anne Of Green Gables." What a glorious sounding orchestra, and in the main a really interesting and vibrant score. Hope someone might have a go at a revival some time, now. Now that brings back memories!! When i was young I played Gilbert in an amateur production. He has a nice little song called Wonderin'. |

I really love this song. That climax from about 2:20 - I could just die. |

The new Broadway cast recording of Once On This Island is out. Interesting arrangements and a killer Mama Will Provide.

That's fun. I do love a Wurlitzer. Talking of which has anyone heard the Wurlitzer at the Odeon Leicester Square? A few years ago they had a showing of Putting it Together there and before the film the was an organ recital and the organ comes up from the floor. Pure camp. |

I wish I could play that. . . . . . . Oh, wait, you just click the little triangle in the middle. |

New EP of Lena Hall is available. This time Sir Elton John! Your next post brings you seniority. I'm finding Lena's EPs a good way to mark the year out, and looking forward to finding out who comes next. I think Pink has been confrimed in a Rolling Stone article (Pink is a great singer and performer, and her best 4 songs in a Lena Hall EP would be a boon). Queen seems likely. Hopefully a bit more MT, and a musician or two just outside the middle of the road. |

I wish I could play that. I could manage the left and right hands. The coordination organists require to play with their feet also baffles me. |

Another great Hands on a Hardbody video just appeared in my Twitter. The cast recording has really been a grower for me - MT was a new area for Trey Anastaiso to be working in (his dayjob kinda dwarfs this), but he's one of the very finest playing today, and it has gotten under my skin. |

I never paid much attention to Anyone Can Whistle, and besides the title song, I didn't know much about the score.
I was accidentally listening to a random track and decided to give the entire Carnegie Hall concert a listen. It's absolutely brilliant. The lyrics are so sharp and the tunes are great. Me and My Town..what a number. I then decided to give the OBC a spin and I love the sound quality in it, and the young and vocally untrained Angela Lansbury in it is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

I often find myself listening to an entire cast recording on my journeys to/from London. The Girls (Calendar Girls), Waitress, Dear Evan Hansen, Sister Act and Hairspray have been the ones I've played fully over the past few weeks

It sounds nice, but I have a question (I don't intend to star a sh*tstorm). Is Ben overusing his vibrato? I have no musical training, so I don't know how good/bad/fantastic it is, I don't know how difficult it is to sing like this, so I'm asking more experienced people. |

He is. I recently saw a video of him "auditioning" for the film remake of West Side Story and I felt that he was Evan Hansen-ing just about everything. The twitch, the mannerism, the music reading..he needs to snap out of it.
