Oh thank you Tony for sharing Josh Groban in Chess with me, I adore his voice, have never seen Chess hun.

Stars- Les Miserables- Javert by Philip Quast, so enjoyed. Was enrapt not only by his voice, the words but the quality of his acting.
I can see why tis your favourite from Les Miserables.

I so love it here, sharing, ..... getting to swatch Musicals I may not even have heard of, such voices.

Off to find another, one recommended by a friend.

Here's another for you. My favourite ever Valjean was Peter Karrie (was lucky enough to meet him) and he was an amazing Phantom too,

Found this.......

Hi Tony :)

Just off to watch, gosh you lucky man, going to watch now >>>

Having never seen Phantom Tony, that was the best clip I've ever seen hun.

Gosh, he had me spellbound ... who was the young girl, think I caught the name Charlotte, didn't look like Charlotte Church, a longer name I think. Such a voice for someone so young.

Found this clip, am listening now, tis in German fabulous. I don't speak German yet fab ...

Hey Shimms,
It was my youngest 21st the other week and one of the pressies that her boyfriend brought her was a weekend away to London at the end of January with tickets to go and see Phantom. She is really looking forward to it.

Helen

Helen hun

How wonderful, not only a weekend away to London but tickets for Phantom too .... oooh, am envious! Gosh 21, mine will be 21 in just over two years.

What a memory she will have of her 21st birthday, her boyfriend sounds lovely, a mother's dream. :))

I have bookmarked this as I am off out soon for the day and my final Tues night choir practice.
I have sung some of the songs mentioned in some of our concerts (one based on musical shows, another on operas). I have even (says she modestly) sung with Kiri Te Kanawa. There were about 700 other people also singing with her but they dont count.
Must dash now.
Huia.

Oh bless you Huia :))

How lovely to have you here with us, sharing your precious memories, bookmarking this thread which I must say I so adore.

I love Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, and you know ... the other 700 don't count! Catherine Jenkins is one of my favourites, have only recently discovered her voice, do you like her too?

Speak soon honey, enjoy your final Tuesday night choir practice.
