Kat of the Musicals

Bit of a different writing format than usual but THE BIG ONE! The musical of musicals! Les Miserables! And WHAT A PRODUCTION! It was darn near perfect- in my mind lead by the most wonderful of Javert’s (my favourite character in Les Mis) Hayden Tee. Incredible voice, and lovely guy! But everyone was wonderful, and …

I really like this musical, especially the recording with Brian Stokes Mitchell ❤  "The Impossible Dream" is of course one of the Great Songs of Musical Theatre Repertoire, but there are so many other great pieces in this musical too.

The interview was originally posted on Arts …

Fun and toe-curlingly cringey (in all the right places). Originally posted on The AU Review. — There is often a great risk in taking a well-loved …

I could hardly believe how much we had gotten through in just one day! Hanbok, tea ceremonies, traditional games-playing, many delicious lunch dishes, janggu classes, incredible Hanjeongsik dinners… And now it was nearing the end. My feelings were becoming very mixed by that point! I really wanted to watch the musical (of course), but I truly was …

SWING YOUR RAZOR HIGH SWEENEY RAISE IT TO THE SKY! Justin Cotta was glorious. Utterly disturbing of course, as Sweeney should be, but glorious. Definitely one of my longest reviews! Originally posted on The AU Review — Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd! The theatre is dark, the first harsh notes of the “Organ Prelude” …

Sylvester Levay Originally posted on Hello Asia. — Das Musical Rebecca is just what you’d expect from a Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay musical – it’s dark, it’s romantic, it has strong …
