Mamma Mia

Well what a performance. I travelled along with my mate to the concert. It was fab. The choreography was mind blowing. The theatre productions is based on the Abba songs. The play is abotu a girl Sophie(Niamh Perry) who is marrying Sky(Justin Thomas). However her longing to "be known" ie doesn't know who she is, is bothering her. So she invites 3 possible Fathers, Sam Carmicheal(Richard Standing), Bill Austin(Michael Beckley) and Harry Bright(Mark Jardine). Sophie's  Mom Donna Sheridan(Sara Poyzer) is a bit hot and bothered, in that she doesn't want her daughter to grow up like the way she did. I was moved thou when Donna's Mom "disowned" her for having a child OUTSIDE marriage. So Donna's lifetime friends from Donna and the Dynamite: Tanya(Shubna Gulati - from Coronation Streeets's Sunita) and Rosie(Sue Devaney). So after all the great craic, and laughter, they did a rounding rendition of Mamma Mia and an assortment of other Abba songs. So overall, fantastic performance, brilliantly well done.

Diary 19th March 2015

Today wasn't that busy. I booked the tickets for to see Mamma Mia with Todd. So can't wait. Or as I says on Facebook, "It's Gonna be Epic"

Started the day off with me struggling to get outta bed. hahaa. Despite me going to bed EARLIER, I still failed. hahaah. Then again the fact that I got up in such a fright when I saw on my cell 2 missed calls, from Mom. I thought I was late. I was to be collected for 11. This was 10 to 11. Mom brought me up. I helped Dad with installing his new Water Butt. hahaha. We had a nice meal then. Afterwards we got the mowing done. heeheh.

I then headed to Corrigans to collect my sis' meds as shes currently in the Hosp. On my way to the cinema, I encountered James who has crutches. So then I headed onto Cineworld to see Kingsman. Shortly I headed to Euro Giant to get a looksie. And saw Ducky's twin Baby. awwww.

Joseph & The Amazing TechnicColor Dreamcoat

Today I popped along to the most anticipated Theatre production of Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It featured the biblical story of 600 or 700 years BC(BEFORE CHRIST). It was set in Egyptian and Pharaoh times. From what I could gather, Joseph was born to 12 Brothers and his Father(Jacob). He was the youngest. Two brothers didn't like him. SO they betrayed him. He was sold to slavery(something like that). They then told the father, that Joseph was killed by a wolfe or something like that cause they mentioned blood or something. But as it happens Joseph was alive BUT imprisoned in an Egyptian prison. One of the brothers Benjamin if I recall, went down the market to get something for the family. Eventually he was reunited with the father. Twas so emotional to look at the reunification. Joseph had a gift of whereby he could Interpret Dreams. HE did so with the Butler and the Baker. I was so impressed with the Narrator Danielle. Such a powerful voice. At times, I would think of Idina Menzal. Then of course the main character of the whole production Joseph played by Xfactor former candidate Lloyd Daniels. He was fantastic. Such a great body(mmmmm) and most important of all, the voice. Oh it was out of this world. Throughout the whole show, I was thinking to meself, on a constant basis, that my future is musicals, concerts. If I were to be a of toughie of a critic, I would only critic ONE item. I didn't see the need for the "The King" ie Elvis character. As Elvis wasn't born 3000 years ago. THe Biblical story is set in 600 or 700 BC. Elvis was born in the late 1900s (AD-Anos Dominos(AFTER Christ was Born ie Christmas Day)). Shortly after the story had been told. We had all been treated to a wonderful thunderous belting of the tunes. Once again, I of course joined in. haahah. I would have first been told of Jospeh and the Amazing TechniColor Dreamcoat, back either when I was in school(ELementary/Midlde School) for a concert OR when my Mom n Dad came home from a holiday, and gave me the CD of it. They had been at it years ago.
