Hi everyone, I can't believe we're nearly at the end of
September already meaning that I'm about to start my 3rd and final year of my
uni course...now that's majorly scary. Well anyway, enough of that, let's get
going with the Musical of the Month for September.
Now I did mention this show a bit in my vlog about
Washington and New York but I wanted to do a bit more of a full review to just
emphasise how amazing this show is. The show in question is said to be coming
to London in Spring 2014 to either the Savoy or Piccadilly Theatre (but don't
quote me on it). It, also, won the Tony for Best Choreography and Best Original
Score. Finally, it is now one of my favourite shows ever and I cannot get
enough of it. I am, of course, talking about Newsies, which is currently
playing at the Nerderlander Theatre in New York.
I was a bit sceptical about seeing this show as I didn't
really know what it was about or too much about the music; but WOW when I came
out of that theatre I had had one of the best night's I have ever had at a
theatre!
The whole cast were just incredible, especially the young
boy (Nicholas Lampiasi) who played Les and the guy (Corey Cott) who played
Jack. I seriously don't think I've seen such a strong cast in a really long
time.
The dancing, well you could see why it won a Tony, was
cool, quirky and very, very fun. There was even a tap number in King of New
York, which was exactly my cup of tea.
The set was simple yet effective as it mainly consisted of
metal structures that interlinked and moved around...it was probably more
exciting to witness.
The story itself was sweet and had a brilliant message full
of love, hope and joy. It was one of those stories you could watch again and
again and again.
The main reason Newsies is Musical of the Month though is
because I have not taken CD out my CD Player since I got back from New York.
The music is just phenomenal and I cannot get enough of it. I think the real
amazing thing is that every song is amazing: you get so many shows where just
one or two songs are great and you end up skipping the rest, well this isn't
like that, all the songs on the album are fantastic and completely out if this
world. I think my favourite of all would have to be Watch What Happens but
that's mainly because it's the main female song so I can really get my teeth
stuck in when singing it...truth be told they're all my favourites at different
times of the day.
Overall, Newsies is a great show and if the rumours are
right I encourage everyone to go and get tickets as well as buying the CD right
this moment.
I hope you've enjoyed reading a bit about Newsies. If any
of you want to ask any more questions about it my Twitter is @GreenGirlsRox but
please remember if you don't follow me I won't be able to see your message
which is sad.
Love you all lots and see you soon.
Love Kat
