Fairy's Musical Magic by Linh
'Loving Lloyd Webber' is definitely for those who love musicals, particulary Andrew Lloyd Webber musical productions.
Staged in the intimate theatrette of The Annex at the Queen's Arms Hotel, 'Loving Lloyd Webber' showcases all the best and favourite musical songs from 'Phantom Of The Opera', 'Sunset Boulevard', 'Cats', 'Jesus Christ Superstar', 'Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat', 'Evita' and 'Song And Dance'.
The cast of three talented Adelaide performers, provides an aural treat as they cover a spectrum of love songs, famous hits and popular duets, trios and solo performances.
Vocal tutor, producer and singer Rosanne Hosking is stunning in a sparkling red evening dress as she sways onstage and is in brilliant voice throughtout. Rosanne is moving and alluring with With One Look, is persuasive and emotional in Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Her heart wrenching performance of Tell Me On A Sunday is stirring.
Rachel McCall is glamourous in glittering white attire as she dances with Nic Lock in Music Of The Night, and provides wonderful backing vocals for Rosanne in Take That Look Off Your Face and Another Suitcase In Another Hall. Her duet with Nic Lock in All I Ask of You is a crowd favourite and her rendition of Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again displays her vocal versatility.
Singer Nic Lock shows diversity and vocal flexibility as he combines some comedy to his performance. The magnificence of his voice is evident in his vocal range tackling all the high notes in Music Of The Night with ease, he displays charm in Any Dream Will Do and adds some cheekiness to Sunset Boulevard.
Set as a mini-concert with recorded music backing, the trio of performers seem comfortable yet underprepared at times. It may be due to clothing mishaps, sound/technical inadequacies or the concert starting fifteen minutes late.
Despite the minor hitches, 'Loving Lloyd Webber' was enjoyable and encouraged audience members to sing along. With so many familiar songs, it was a feel good night of fun entertainment for lovers of musical theatre.
