This is a normal post I was just going to get the beers and watch Superstat - it's an Easter tradition!
Now, Minchin was all right - but there wasn't nearly enough acting in this cast for me. I still prefer the movie version, with most of the original cast memebers.

EDIT: Shit. Fucking still can't edit titles. Now I have to find something called "Superstat" to watch.

This is a normal post Crank it up to 11,
Minchin is surprisingly good in it.
Agreed, the acting is a bit weak, but fuck it and enjoy the ride. I did.
BTW, I will append some background info about this in a bit, as a reply.

This is a normal post Background
Webber posted a short video on Twitter, when in isolation. Played "All I Ask Of You" (from Phantom) on piano, and asked others to make video responses – joining in.

A bunch of musicians from the London Orchestra responded, and it was pretty amazing;

This is a normal post I didn’t want to say anything, since other people obviously do enjoy it
But I was thinking “Dear god, is isolation really making b3tans watch Andrew Lloyd-Webber musicals?”

And to give an alternative. Here is the proper stage version of Into The Woods by Sondheim. (No James Cordon, correct Narrator character, etc)

This is a normal post If you start from the point of view of being a prog rock fan
- and listen to the album verson released before it ever made it to stage, the one with Deep Purple's Ian Gillain as Jesus - then it's less "ALW musical" and more "prog-tastic extravaganza", more "KIng Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table on Ice" - i.e. it's an overambitious 70s concept album.

Another reason for prefering the old version of it is that as time has gone on, the lyrics have been sanitised to appease the Christian backlash.

This is a normal post Watched that Saturday night
one of the good ones, surprised by Sporty Spice, the guy who plays Simon is good as well. Have seen the other one with Alice Cooper as Herod. Glad they stick with the original music, and don't disco it up. Like this...youtu.be/h71j9ZEgLyw?t=1215
