Thank goodness for radio...
Aug. 2nd, 2009 04:39 amI'm still up.
So you can guess what I've just been doing.
Yes, I decided to stay up and listen to the Prom anyway...the atmosphere there at the Royal Albert Hall sounds phenomenonly fun and exciting. Wish I could have been there...sounds like everyone's enjoying themselves immensely and the John Wilson Orchestra was appropriately jazzed up playing the good ol' oldies of musical theatre.
As for the singers? All very professionally sung, of course...TA still in wonderful voice and doing very well singing musical numbers as well as having lots of fun at the same time. He didn't have much to sing on the programme but when he was onstage, he nailed every song beautifully. The rest of the singers sung their respective songs/repertoire fantastically...one surprise of the night was the man who created Family Guy, Seth Macfarlane (who I think is the voice of Stewie) who sang such numbers such as 'Singing in the Rain'. Very pleasant singing voice. Obviously not an opera singer but very suited to musical theatre...it was interesting to hear him sing parts of the classic song 'That's Entertainment' with a Stewie voice...the audience reaction can be imagined. XD
I'm thankful that TA usually makes his voice customarily louder when the orchestra gets a bit loud or else I wouldn't be able to hear him over the music!
Again, thank goodness for the power of radio! *goes away to thank BBC Radio 3 for being online*
