COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS "PIERRE AND THE 1812 COMET" 2. JUNE 11TH 2017

PIERRE  AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812.....REPRISE.
Tracks played....
The abduction / The great comet of 1812.

This is the new and exciting Tony nominated Broadway show featuring Josh Groban.
I believe it is a fascinating production that includes the audience which covers the second
part of Tolstoy's War and Peace. However wonderful it appears to people who have seen it
as a Musical CD it certainly falls short. Singing/Speaking/acting most of the time leaving
little chance for any 'songs' so to speak. Is this the NEW musical trend ?  Has HAMILTON
encouraged the concept of no beautiful melodies and no lightweight comedy songs. Where
have all the flowers gone ? This one is rather a bare garden slightly enhanced by the singing
of Josh Groban.   The Les Mis and Phantom days may be soon over. *****.

COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS " JOSH GROBAN MUSICAL " PIERRE AND THE COMET OF 1842 "

PIERRE & COMET OF 1842.

Several tracks played and more to come next week.  I am a little puzzled over the success at the

moment of this Musical.  I found it's leaning to opera a little disconcerting for a hit broadway

show and makes for a confusing CD even with Josh Groban as the main star.  There are no big

melodic songs here....and one supposes that a vibrant stage performance and effects has made it

 a must-see show. It's box office has been good.  New musicals with different styles are beginning

to emerge as the new popular genre .....maybe this is a youth transition from revivals of long ago

hits and "safe" productions. Things are definitely changing and I will dwell longer when I feature

a few more tracks in next weeks show this coming Sunday.
