Hi from your newest member of these boards, been a registered fan for some time. I have 'worshiped' from afar for many years. I am from the UK where I live permanently now but spent some of my middle age years working in Orlando (I am now 71) During that time I saw the TV show from 1999 and never, ever forgot it!! Our own Michael Crawford was in the show and it was the first time I personally knew he could sing!!! Back in the day he was known in the UK as a comedian. Over the years I purchased all of the TSO CDs but was never in the right place at the right time to see them live.
That all changed this year - I was at the Orlando show on Saturday having made the journey from the UK especially for the show.
I was not dissapointed, I was absolutely spellbound and glued to my seat eyes wide open in admiration. Having never seen a previous live performance I have nothing with which to compare, but to say it ranks as possibly one of the best, if not the best live show I have ever seen, and through the years I have seen some shows!!!! even been involved for a few years with the worlds first pop/opera band, Amici Forever, as a personal friend of the band members and a moderator on their Board.
My sister was with me on Saturday and up until then she really did not know what the urgency and expense in travelling especially to see TSO was all about - now she is as smitten as me!!!
I would like to say a big thank you to all of the people involved in putting on such a great show, if only I had had the foresight years ago to become a follower in person rather than admire from afar - I have missed so much.
Not a Review as such, but just to say I loved all of it and health and wealth willing, we are already planning to come back next time they play live at Christmas, hopefully 2018.
