Knowing when to leave / Where can you take a girl / Turkey Lurkey time / A house is
not a home / A fact can be a beautiful thing / Christmas Day / A young pretty girl like you.

orchestrally. That one was when Bacharach was totally in charge or sound and music and
this one doesn't have that punch of the previous. *******.

COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS FEATURING " COME FROM AWAY" SEPTEMBER 10TH 2017


COME FROM AWAY.....DOWNLOAD.

tracks played....
38 planes / Blankets and bedding / 24 hours/Wherever we are / Darkness and trees / On the bus
Darkness and trees reprise / Lead us out of the night / Costume party /  I am here / Prayer
In the bar/heave away / Screech in / Stop the world.

Very explicit musical about the 38 planes that were diverted to Newfoundland
on 9/11 in America. Their fears, their problems with little information reaching
them and the inhabitants of Gander who did there very best to look after over 7,000
people in their small town. The story and reactions are the main focal point and there
is a large amount of talking over chords or music but it does represent a complete
scenario of what really happened.....as  a musical CD it is perhaps lacking but this musical
has been filling  houses on broadway for a year. *******.
