Musical

Listen to Sweaty Eddies voice and your understand that a muscial is now in a class of its own. We are talking Sister Act here. I've seen it three times and not once has it let me down.
By the end I feel like I've been in a film, with the wonderful set that moves from a convent to a side street.

I love musicals and now they are becoming more and more popular with the whole film to stage thing going on. Look at 'Ghost' for example coming to London next year We're hiring more and more fab talent in fact I don't think audiences would settle for anything less, that would defo be a walk out if someone sang just a tad off.

Flashdance comes as Sister Act will be taking off to America :( But I've seen Flashdance five times and will be seeing it again for the sixth time in Nov! I am very excited that they have Victoria playing the lead again, she helped me come out, I saw her and boom, I danced I sang, I moved my body in ways I did not know, I was letting go finally and becoming the person I had hidden for such a long time. This was my coming out moment, it helped me release a desire for dance too. My mate Becks can lighten you on that subject. She has seen me dance to maniac!

But are we pushing the oldies out, do you think audiences will still want to see old time musicals, ones that few people have heard of,the music hall days or are we pushing more and more for new music. I hope not, we need to preserve and share for future generations the old stuff too.

Please comment and let me know what your fave musical is..

'I don't need a spotlight, I don't need a crowd, I don't need the great wide world to shout my name out loud. Don't need fame or fortune, nice as those things are, I've got all I need, to make me feel like I'm a star.

I've got my sisters by my side, I've got my sisters love and pride and in my sisters eyes I recognize, the star I want to be. And with my sisters standing strong, I'm on the stage where I belong, and nothin's ever gonna change that fact.

I'm part of one terrific Sister Act' :)
