Reviews of Cast Recordings, Soundtracks from Musicals & Music

GirlfriendsReviews of music from performers from the stage, cast recordings, soundtracks from stage productions, albums etc...
London Musical Theatre Orchestra’s debut album GIRLFRIENDS
With such a talented cast, it’s difficult to single out stand-out performances. But the ones that stick in my mind are Bronté Barbé’s rendering of ‘The Chances Are’, a heartfelt number about the sitting and hoping that goes on when one’s partner is out to war, and Rob Houchen’s tenor voice is perfectly suited to the soaring melodies in this musical. It’s not often that a new recording of a musical with an orchestra as large as the LMTO is released these days. Rather longer than most cast recordings, coming in at just under two hours, this is set to be the go-to album for Girlfriends, a hearty and passionate listening experience.

Sweet Little Mystery – The Songs of John Martyn | Review

October 30, 2019 Last updated: October 30, 2019 11:18 am By Alan Fitter

Tony Rémy, Sarah Jane Morris and Tim Cansfield - Credit Sara Leigh Lewis.

First of all, I have to come clean. I’m a big fan of Sarah Jane Morris. I’ve seen her many times live and have all of her albums. I’m also a big fan of John Martyn’s music although the only time I saw him live was when he staggered drunkenly onto the stage at the […]

Sinatra: RAW at Wilton’s Music Hall | Review

October 24, 2019 Last updated: October 24, 2019 2:48 pm By John OBrien

Richard Shelton as Frank Sinatra - Photo by Betty Zapata

This week I have seen two famous Wulfrunians. On Monday I saw a play about Wolverhampton’s most famous cook Nigel Slater and last night Sinatra: Raw starring the wonderfully charismatic Richard Shelton. With Wolverhampton Wanderers back in the Premier League clearly there is something of a renaissance in the famous old Black country city. Richard […]

Graceland Live: With Josh Turner as Paul Simon | Review

October 15, 2019 Last updated: October 15, 2019 8:02 pm By Chris Omaweng

GRACELAND LIVE - Josh Turner and The South African Cultural Choir UK - Photo Hamish Gill.

Graceland Live would do well to follow in the footsteps of The Simon & Garfunkel Story (different show, same production company) and get into a West End theatre for a few dates. The original live event, Graceland: The African Concert, was held in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 1987, and featured several South African musicians, most notably […]

Melinda Hughes: Off The Scale Live At Zédel

October 4, 2019 Last updated: October 4, 2019 5:48 pm By John OBrien

Melinda Hughes: Show Off The Scale

Like the boy who dares say that the emperor has no clothes on Melinda Hughes takes down pomposity and bigotry without fear or favour. Now more than ever we need her no holds barred comic deflation of megalomaniacs everywhere. Comfortable in her own skin Melinda is sassy, sexy, street smart and satirical. Seamlessly weaving together […]

All You Need Is Love with The National Philharmonic Concert Orchestra

September 29, 2019 Last updated: September 30, 2019 2:29 pm By Alan Fitter

All You Need Is Love

In January 1963 I was lucky enough to see The Beatles at the Finsbury Park Astoria in their Christmas show. And see them is what I did as a combination of two thousand or so screaming pre-pubescent girls and the tiny amps they used in those days meant I couldn’t hear a thing! I was […]
