Music Performer Michael Ball
This widely acclaimed show represents a complete departure for Michael Ball. On a bare stage with just a piano, his dramatic and moving performance takes us on a tour of an artist’s life, his struggles and successes. A unique moment on the London stage that reveals anew side to Michael Ball.

Accomplished British singer/actor Michael Ball has produced an impressive resume of theater work, while also releasing some best-selling albums in his homeland. Here, Ball performs alone in London, with just a piano for accompaniment.

3 stars Michael Ball Live at the Donmar
I am writing this review from my personal perspective, so I hope it will be helpful to others. This DVD does showcase Michael Ball's exceptional talent. To do a 90 minute performance with only a piano backing you it not an easy task by any means. However, I do miss the excitement of an orchestra and his three excellent back-up singers. I now own all of Michael's DVD's and have to say that this one is my least favorite of all. I find it too "theatrical" in style for my taste. As the British say, it is just not my cuppa (meaning not my cup of tea or taste). Unlike the others, it is not one I will watch over and over again. Don't get me wrong, I love the theater and especially musical productions but this performance just does not excite me as his other performances. Michael has the rare ability to really sing from his heart and put a song over as if he is living every word. I do not get this feeling when watching this DVD. My two favorite selections from this DVD are: "I Say A Little Prayer", penned by Bacharach/David (no need to say more) and "The Medley". The brief interview is also very interesting.

Kristin Chenoweth Let Yourself Go CD  (2001)

Michael Ball - Alone Together: Live At The Donmar video
CD $9.99  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Kristin Chenoweth capped a rising career in musical theater with her debut solo album, which found her showing off her well-trained soprano in a collection of show tunes, most of which dated to the interwar period. On Irving Berlin's "Let Yourself Go," she tap danced like Fred Astaire in Follow the Fleet, and she worked up a torrent of comic anger in Jule Styne's "If You Hadn't But You Did." Then, she switched gears, proving herself a potently romantic figure in the Gershwins' "How Long Has This Been Going On?" and Rodgers and Hart's "My Funny Valentine." And so it went. Backed by the Coffee Club Orchestra, the resident backup band for City Center's Encores! series of concert versions of lost musicals, ...

Michael Ball - Alone Together: Live At The Donmar review
CD $9.99  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Music composed by Mark Hollman. Lyrics written by Greg Kotis. If your first reaction on hearing about a musical called Urinetown is that that's an awful title, don't worry, the authors are way ahead of you. Its awfulness is the point, and Urinetown is as much a musical about a musical as it is, well, a musical. The opening song, for example, is called "Too Much Exposition," and in it, Officer Lockstock (Jeff McCarthy), who acts as the narrator, explains "the central conceit of the show," which is that, in a mythical town suffering a drought, "everyone has to use public bathrooms" and pay high fees, a story line Little Sally (Spencer Kayden) describes as "bad subject matter." Urinetown might as well be called "Allegory-ville," you see, even though that wouldn't be as repulsive -- and therefore as provocative -- a title. Lyricist/librettist Greg Kotis clearly has spent a lot of time studying Bertolt Brecht, and composer/co-lyricist Mark Hollmann is ...

Bounce CD  (2004)

CD $17.29  3.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Muisc & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Score conducted by David Caddick. Recorded live at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC. Includes a book by John Weidman & liner notes by Frank Rich. The musical Bounce, with songs by Stephen Sondheim and a libretto by John Weidman (the two had previously collaborated on Pacific Overtures and Assassins), played for six weeks at the Goodman Theater in Chicago (June 30-August 10, 2003), followed by four weeks at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. (October 21-November 16, 2003). These runs may have been considered tryouts for Broadway, but during the D.C. engagement, the producers announced that the show would not be going to New York. They blamed a lack of theater space, but observers noted the negative reviews Bounce had received. For most shows ...

French director Jacques Doillon (PONETTE, LE PETIT CRIMINEL) creates another slice-of-life drama about disaffected youth with PETITS FRERES. Stéphanie Touly stars as Talia, a 13-year old girl who escapes her sexually abusive stepfather and together with her pit bull terrier, Kim, heads for the Pantin projects outside Paris. There she meets the "little guys," a gang of Arab, black, and Jewish youths who lead a life of idleness and petty crime. Though they befriend Talia, it's initially only in order to steal the dog and sell her into a life of fighting. As Talia begins a frustrated search for Kim, the boys all pretend to help, especially Iliès (Iliès Sefraoui) who falls in love with her during their hunt. However ...
