Movie Reviews of Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Royal Albert Hall Celebration
Movie Review: Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th Birthday Party Bash
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD will be among the most cherished DVD's I own. Being a great fan of ALW's music and his incredible talent, it was not difficult to rate. Each of the songs from his musicals were featured with the original cast artists, which made it even more enjoyable. Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Whistle Down the Wind, Aspects of Love, etc. - there is no duplicating these voices - Michale Ball, Elaine Paige, Sara Brightman - an era of music that will be long enjoyed by those who appreciate wonderful music.Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent film for a man who deserved a concert like this.Michael Ball absolutely steals the show with his songs
Gethsemane-Beautifl and powerful
Vaults of Heaven-Inspirational
All I Ask Of You-Haunting
Ball is the ultimate on this but the others give him a run for his money.
Antonio Banderas although not suited for the voice of the Phantom does a wonderful Che from Evita.
The guy who does Starlight Express's "Light at the End of the Tunnel" is a ton of fun to watch.
Buy this!
Movie Review: 5 MUSICAL STARS OF THE NIGHT!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most beautiful nights of music I have ever seen. Michael Ball, Sarah Brightman, Kiri Te Kanawa, Elaine Paige, Glenn Close and all the rest sent chills up and down my spine for almost two solid hours. I had the vhs and as soon as the dvd came out I was right there to get it! My only regret is that it is not available to CD. Why is that? It is such a a tremendous, beautiful production. One to watch many times over and get the same thrill as if you are seeing it for the first time.Movie Review: A great sampling of Webber's music
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I usually prefer classical music or pre-1950s popular music, I do enjoy the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. This is a very good sampling from his musicals. My only complaint is that some of the singing is not as good as it should be. Except for the opening number which was poorly sung, it sounded OK until I heard Sarah Brightman and Kiri Te Kanawa towards the end of the concert. Then I realized how much better this concert would have been if it had all been sung by singers of their skills.Movie Review: All stars but Glenn Close steals the show.
Summary: 5 Stars
To the point - I was lucky enough to be there on this once-in-a-life-time event. Tina Arena did the most difficult task by opening the show. But what a spotless performance!! To hear and see Donny Osmond and Antonio Banderas was another treat! Michael Ball really put gusto into the songs'Vaults of Heaven'and 'Gethsemane'. But when Glenn Close appeared, her presence filled the entire Albert Hall and apart from Andrew LLyod Webber the night belongs to her!
