I've realised that I complain a lot about being in England as it's hard to get hold of Asian CD's. Unless you go to YesAsia but Shhhh.....

I've been thinking that there is one reason why I love being in England and only about an hours drive from London is three words long....The West End. Some of the musicals that been performed and come from that stage are in my heart and always will. So we are going to take a break from our normal programming of Hello! Project and I'm going to show you some of my favourite songs from my four of my favourite West End shows.

Half a Sixpence

It's just great! My favourite song would have to be 'Flash Bang Wallop', this is also from the DVD.

 

 

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

This originally started on the West End, I first saw the DVD film of it when I young and I've always loved. I sadly couldn't find any thing from the actual show and your going to have to deal with stuff from the DVD. My favourites would have be 'Time Warp' I've known the dance for years. 'Sweet Transvestite' and 'Science Fiction/Double Feature'

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've saved the best two till last.

Billy Elliot

In 2005 after the film was released a West end version of the film was made. Three boys played Billy due to certain laws, they could only do a certain amount of shows a weeks or something like that. My favourite boy would have to be Liam Mower. Here is him singing my favourite song 'Electricity' on a show about musicals and the music video version of Electricity sung by Elton John with appearances from the boys. This song has always been my favourite out of any musical.

 

 

 

 

Cats

The two songs I've picked is 'Magical Mr. Mistoffelees' and the amazing song 'Memories'. 'MMM' was I'll call it because it's way to long to write down every time, it just another great one. 'Memories' takes my breathe away time, it always sends shivers down my spine and makes me tear up all the time.

 

 

 

This made me think about MM's upcoming musical. 'Cinderella'. I want to share who I want to play who.

 

Cinderella - Either Ai or Reina, I think they have the vocals for it at the moment as much as I hate these two gettins all the spotlight.

 

The Prince - Either Ai or Reina, same as above.

 

The Stepsisters - Either Risa and Eri or JunJun and LinLin.

 

Godmother - Risa

 

The rest of the crew I don't mind as long as Kusumi doesn't get to be a main. I think she was good as the Prime Minster's son in their last musical.
