Dancing divas

Hello hello!
Apologies since my last posting! I am back with another review this time for sequel to one of my favourite musicals of all time, Mamma Mia! So this movie was simply fantastic! They used a few more abba songs in it than the first, which just enhanced it for me!

The cast of younger older characters was even more fantastic! My favourite being the young Bill and young Donna played by Josh Dylan and Lily James respectively! Even the younger versions of Donna's friends was casted amazingly! I love the aged original cast! Especially mr. Dominic Cooper! Hubba hubba! Now the casting of Cher as Donna's mother was fantastic, but I would of loved nay preferred to hear more of her story especially the little love story she had, but alas we did not get it! :(  So seeing Young Harry, he totes had the gay vibe going from the start!  Which was funny and comedic!  I love the actor of older and younger Harry both were flamboyant and FABULOUS!  Now younger Sam was cute but he didn't hold the charm for me as well as older Sam did and still does! (I mean Peirce Brosnan is a gorgeous gorgeous human being!)

Towards the end of the film I felt was a bit rushed but still very enjoyable. A great new addition to the awesomeness that was the original and the album and artists who created the album and stage production!

I really really enjoyed the storyline and the new addition of more of good ol' classic Abba songs and the return of old ones!  Now here s. To the music I'll keep on coming!

What makes a show great?

Hello my Darlings. I am back I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! today we will be talking about The Greatest Showman on Earth!

So yes this is a Musical. but a fabulous one at that. this was such a great show. like if you get a chance grab your musical loving friends and go see it! This show gets my highest praise since at times I felt like this was a live stage show I was watching! It also helped that I bought the soundtrack a couple weeks ago and have been playing it like non stop!

So Warning SPOILERS are ahead! But is int it awesome that this new musical won Best Original Song at the 2018 Golden Globes for the song "This Is Me!" I am so proud of this movie for its win! and its two other nominations! now this film really is a great film! It is meant to be seen in the Theater with other people!or just plainly with other people! but It is fun journey from start to finish! So this film stars Hugh Jackman as the title  character P.T Barnum,  Ellis Rubin as the actor of young  Barnum and Ziv Zaifman as the singing voice for young Barnum, Zak Efron as Phillip Carlyle, Michelle Williams as Charity Barnum, Zendaya as the acrobatist Anne Wheeler, and Keala Settle the Bearded lady aka Lettie Lutz!

So this film takes the Story of P.T Barnum and his creation of the famous Barnum circus which acutally had stopped performing 7 months prior to the beggining of filming! the whole cast were fabulous in all their roles! the movie has a very broadway feel to it from the get go which I love! I am quite sure I annoyed the kid sitting in front of us but wu-hey he didnt understand this theater and musically inclined author of yours! But i am sorry!

Ok so this movie Starts with the begging bit of a dream number "the Greatest Show" number of young Barnum and this Is such a great number to start this beautifull story off with! It had me toe tapping and stomping to the beat! and the costumes were just WOW!

To be Honest I did not have many issues as I enjoyed the whole film and I cant wait to add it to my collection! and dance thru the amazing soundtrack! just this film is awesome! go see it!
