Groan Ups notes

This review is special, because the notes are going out straight away as usual, but I am briefly postponing all other reviews until this one comes out. This is for a very simple reason. If you look online for reviews of Mischief Theatre's newest show, you won't find any. I spoke to someone who works at the theatre and apparently the critics aren't coming until October 10 so I'm going to try to get mine in first.

One Man Two Guvnors Notes

  So so so so so so so   so   so so so  much backlog! IUN, Aladdin was just released on DVD and Blu-ray. Check out my review here. So, this one's a bit unprecedented. This is an NT Live production, which means it takes place in a theatre (in this case, the National Theatre in London), and is transmitted live all over the world. I say live, it was actually recorded in 2011 and this is a repeat. Band (is it the wrong theatre?)

Some folks dream of the wonders they'll do... Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Review

I've been wanting to do this one for a while. SPOILERS AHEAD FOR JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT AND GENESIS 30-46 First of all, I've got some beef with the title. Why technicolor? Quite apart from making it the longest title of a musical ever (don't Google it to see if I'm wrong. The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum at Charenton, Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade (25 words, 129 characters) doesn't count because it's a play, not a musical) And now I've had to overflow into another paragraph. I blame Peter Weiss. Technicolor is a method of filmmaking that has existed since 1916 ( history lesson ), but the musical was first released on stage in 1973, meaning film processes were not involved. If you're thinking " But what about the movie with Donny Osmond? ". that movie was released in 1999 when technicolor was near obsolete, plus the show had already had that

URGENT PSA (NOW OUTDATED)

The Finale of Speechless will be airing again TOMORROW (10 September 2019) on E4 at 5.30 GMT (and 6.30 on E4+1). It will NOT be on All4 afterwards, so if you are going to watch it, it will have to be live. I don't know if E4 is available in other countries though, sorry.
