Film and Theatre Lover!
I have just finished watching this film which was a pretty good build up for my New York trip which is involving seeing Bette Midler on Broadway in Hello, Dolly.
A fantastic final moment for the film as Midler, Keaton and Hawn break into song and dance with ‘You Don’t Own Me’.
I am heading to the Theatre tonight to see Dirty Dancing on stage. I had never really fancied it in all honesty, but I am eventually going to see what it is like. If I enjoy it, always difficult when they are based on a pretty iconic film and that is certainly the case with this one.
I have already done a post in the past with Time of My Life, so thought I would go for She’s Like the Wind for today’s musical moment!
I haven’t listened to anything from the show so that will be a slight surprise.
As another small tribute to the passing of Sir Roger Moore, I decided to have a musical moment today from one of his Bond outings in The Spy Who Loved Me with Carly Simon taking on the vocal role with Nobody Does It Better.
As you are all very much aware of I throughly enjoyed the new Power Rangers film the other day as I was such a fan of the 90s TV and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers film back in the day and I think now it is still very much a guilty pleasure.
So to celebrate that this Monday the musical moments are coming with the Power Rangers Theme! I am actually going to include a few different versions of it as well, come on who is still as geeky as I am?
It’s Oscars week, plenty of build up and related posts coming on Let’s Go To The Movies so let’s kick it off with the haunting City of Stars!
Having seen Dreamgirls on Friday night I thought it was more than worth having this as the Musical Moment this Monday! With three different versions of the song, considering Amber Riley aka Mercedes from Glee was in the show first here is the clip of her performing from Graham Norton just before Dreamgirls opened in the West End.

On Saturday I will be at the London Palladium watching Whoopi Goldberg on the stage in her first ever UK stand up act, as well as a 30 minute question and answer session. Very excited as she has always been one of my favourites and in so many memorable films from growing up in the 90s! I am very excited about sitting in the fourth row and seeing the legend on stage so close up.
I guess I have seen her before though when she hosted the Tony Awards the year I was lucky enough to attend she even came on as Mary Poppins!
Over the weekend I have booked up to head to New York in July for my birthday. It has been a pretty long time since my last trip there so I am very much looking forward to it. In the build up and celebration of booking thought it was only right for New York, New York to be the Musical moment today!
I will be looking to see a few shows on Broadway, if I can figure out how to find cheaper tickets as the prices are so high is unreal!
I am also going to visit film related places so if you can think of any please let me know, Katz Deli from When Harry Met Sally is certainly one place I want to go!
Here’s a total classic Christmas song from Meet Me in St Louis sung by the incredible Judy Garland!
As you are probably already aware I totally love Bill Nighy! This character from Love Actually Billy Mack is just the best! Also hilarious that they released it probably as a song and music video! Honestly watch the film with cast commentary on its well worth it!
