ALW's 60th Birthday In The Park REVIEW- I'm just back from the concert and have to say that it wsa amazing. I loved every second of it. Some of the best performances actually came from those who I Was expecting to give the worst! Duncan James' (former boy band Blue member) sang Mr Mistoffelees and was fantastic at it. Idina Menzel sang two songs, the best of these being Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Big news in the form of an announcement by Mr Webber! The final title of Phantom 2. It's been rumoured for a while now, but we can confirm that the title of The Phantom Of The Opera sequal which is to open in London next year is; Phantom- Love Never Dies.

The performance concluded with a chorus of "Happy Birthday" by all involved in the concert and the audience before a massive firework finale closed the show.

Now that we have the title, hopefully more details on Phantom 2 will begin to appear therefore a page will soon be created which will at first contain only the essentials but will expand as more information about the project appears.


 

ALW's 60th Birthday In The Park- As most of you may have heard ALW is marking his 60th Birthday with a massive concert in Hyde Park this Sunday. Among those performing are Lee Mead, Idina Menzel, The finalists of I'd Do Anything and the legendary Elaine Paige among others with John Barrowman presenting. Two of the team have been lucky enough to secure tickets for the event and have promised a full report of the day and we will try to take some sound/video clips. We hope everyone else who has managed to get tickets has a good day, we're sure it will be a day to remember.

NOTE- for those of you who are not able to make the concert, it will be broadcast over BBC Radio 2 in the comming weeks. We shall post more details nearer to the time.
