It has recently extended at The Novello Theatre in London until February 2008. See it. It is the best play I have seen in London.<BR/><BR/>Charles Dance and Janie Dee star as C.S Lewis and Joy Gresham. With an outstanding visual and sound design, and finely detailed performances from the entire company. (I must mention a beautiful and touching performance from Richard Durden as Lewis' brother. A moment of his in the second act was one that made my inner ocean overflow quite memorably). <BR/><BR/>See it.

Many people forget that my background is not really specifically in musical theatre, nor do I necessarily always enjoy watching it. My passion is for live theatre itself, with or without music, good storytelling.<BR/><BR/>However, I have seen some excellent musicals. These are a few that stick out in my head:<BR/>- Sunday in the Park with George, 2006 <BR/>- Urinetown, Original Broadway Cast, 2003<BR/>- Cabaret, 1998 Broadway Cast<BR/>- Ragtime, Original Broadway Cast, 1998<BR/><BR/>but it is worth reiterating that none explode out of my memory the way the six pieces above do.London Stillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521969725190157500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092656764141552723.post-26318887990861465682007-11-12T10:26:00.000-05:002007-11-12T10:26:00.000-05:00no musicals?
