The Witches of Eastwick In Concert - Sondheim Theatre

All just very...vanilla isn't it

They don't seem to be blending well vocally

Hmmmmm I know it is going to be a concert version but there (in view of that video) seems to be little to no characterisation. Fingers crossed it comes through in performance.

I also love the show but am not very excited (although I have a ticket). I think there is just nothing special to get excited about, really. I think in my head we were getting something like the recent 'Taboo' concert, with some of the original cast and some special guests filling in the extra roles, curtain call speeches etc.

I understand they aren't going to get all of the originals back to do their parts (we all know they weren't the best of friends), but even if they'd promised 'extra surprises' or 'special appearances from some original cast members' at the curtain call, or even just one 'wow name', or SOMETHING, that would be good. But this just sounds like it's going to be like seeing the show without particularly appealing casting and no sets, effects or much rehearsal...for the price of a West End show. Then again, they didn't promise anything otherwise, so more the fool me.

Are "one off concerts" on CHF's list of things she can't cope with?

No?? She's done them before. She's just said in the past that standing on a stage as herself rather than as a character makes her a lot more nervous.

I got very distracted by how the répétiteur's beard seemed to appear and disappear based on how he turned his head.

I admit I don't know the musical at all though.

All I can hear in that video is CHF overpowering the other two.
She needs a volume switch to blend properly

Now this is far more fun!!

Opinions are just that. People liking something similarly doesn't make it good.

After you're on here a while, you find which people's posts you agree with and which you don't, and tailor your judgement to comments based on their credibility.

There's some quality posters on here who I seem to always agree with, and when they say something is good I'll book, or something is bad I'll skip it. I trust certain poster's views here far more than any critic, whose review often shares advertising space with the very show they are meant to be impartially critiquing. Whatsonstage, I'm looking at you.

don't put on those tin caps too soon - i think WOS is basically paid freelancers these days - people like Mickey Jo Boucher etc (who don't exactly hold back in their opinions). they'll have no idea who has bought ad space. 

also if having ads keeps a theatre platform free and accessible rather than behind a paywall, surely that's good for the community...
