*Phantom Chick* Hey Mr. Producer is spectacular! It's also addictive. . .I got it from my library, and have watched it at least seven or eight times so far! It really grows on you. The best performances of the evening are Johnathan Pryce. . . so versatile, and totally slimy in The American Dream. . . Michael Ball. . . my man, always good! In top form in this. . . Lea Salonga. . .what can I say? She just lights up the stage. . . Philip Quast. . . the best Javert. EVER. . . Bernadette Peters . . . looking rather tired, but still riveting. . . and most of all, Dame Judi Dench. Her performance of Send in the Clowns is amazing. I felt like crying after she sang it. She REALLY looks like she felt what she was singing. I never tire of watching her sing it. There are so many other great performances in this video, that I know I'm leaving out several that I'll regret later. Everyone does a great job.My favorite musical numbers were, Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't?, Unexpected Song, the medley from Miss Saigon (that Lea Salonga, wow), You Could Drive a Person Crazy, You Gotta Picka Pocket or Two, the two songs from Martin Guerre, Losing My Mind (my Mikey, SO good), Send in the Clowns, and Memory (Elain Paige, fabulous!) The best part of the musical though, was the Les Miserables medley. Absolutely wonderful. Though, all of the performance was great (my least favorite part was the long My Fair Lady segment.) Other honorable mention is Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim's duet. . . a really funny treat!All musical fans must see this video. Five stars.

jk346709 I brought this show last Christmas and have since watched it a number of times. My particular favourite part is the "Cats" section near the end, and I have spent the past few months trying to identify those members of the cast that were also in the "Cats" video. I now know who at least four or five of them are :-) I also liked some other parts of the video as well, such as "Oliver", but the "Cats" section was my favourite.

peacham This is without a doubt the best Musical Theatre concert ever filmed! Johnathan Pryce and Liz Robertson as Higgins and Liza in the My Fair Lady sequence are outstanding! Dame Judi Dench mezmerizes the audience with Send in the clown's, Tom Leherer sings gleefully about "poisoning pidgeons in the park". You also get the outstanding Bernadette Peters and the Sexy and talented Ruthie Henshall.A rare treat is also given when Musical Theare rivals Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Weber perform a fun duet roasting Mackintosh.Bravo to both of them for their sportsmanship. True, the special could do without the Phantom and Martin Guarre selections but its does not hamper the enjoyment in the least. I still could have watched an hour or so more of this concert. I just did not want it to end.

Adrea A GREAT line-up of actors and actresses. however with one or two bad picks, in my opinion. And they butcher some of the songs, though they had to to fit all these things into just three hours. A very, VERY good video nonetheless. :o)
