Film and Theatre Lover!
Still so happy about seeing Michael Ball and Alfie Boe in concert on Thursday night and having a full blown with this song (again) I felt I need to have their rendition of it as my Musical Moment today.
Originally by Christina Perri for one of the Twilight films, it really is such an emotional song!
On Thursday I am lucky enough to be going to see Alfie Boe along with Michael Ball in concert. So to celebrate I thought it was perfect to have today’s musical moment from Les Mis with Alfie Boe singing Bring Him Home!
This is inspired from the Ian McKellen obsession as well as the crazy news of the Ultimate Middle Earth Box Set being announced.
I can feel that a re-watch of the films soon Extended Editions of course! Along with plenty more blog posts. Not forgetting an inspired Blogathon!
Yes, you guessed it after seeing the show in the West End on Wednesday I am even more obsessed with it. I have seen bought both concert anniversary versions and re-watched the film. So I thought that I needed to have it as today’s musical moment, I have decided to pick ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ who cannot at times relate to this haunting song and let’s face it this rendition won Anne Hathaway a Best Supporting Actress Oscar!
After seeing the most recent UK Tour of The Sound of Music last week I still have so many of the songs in my head. Certainly has always been one of my favourite films and musicals. I find the song ‘Something Good’ to be so underrated yet so incredible at the same time, Maria and Captain Von Trapp eventually admitting how they feel about each other with this brilliant love song . . .

Who didn’t fall in love with Christopher Plummer as the strict Captain?
What is your favourite song from The Sound of Music?
Tonight I am heading to see the Rocky Horror at the Theatre (yes really again) it’s the first UK tour since 2013 although it doesn’t really feel that long ago. So I thought what better musical moment to have today than an absolute classic scene from the film version . . .
I thought a very fitting way for today’s musical moment was to have the theme of Star Wars. Because I think a new film is coming out at some point this week? Well possibly I don’t really think it has been mentioned very much at all haha!
I have felt inspired to have a musical moment today as I am putting together a post on Jim Broadbent as my excitement is growing to head to see him as Scrooge in A Christmas Carol on 16th December (which will be my last Theatre show of 2015). So I have decided to celebrate two of his fantastic musical moments in Moulin Rouge!
The Show Must Go On – a rather serious moment which sums up exactly what they all must do!
Quite possibly one of my favourite endings to a musical, Mr Banks eventually sees the error of his ways and fixes that kite . . . Honestly this gets better with each viewing!
I have decided to do a Halloween special for the Musical Moments feature . . . Considering I usually do those posts on a Monday but thought this absolute brilliant moment from Hocus Pocus was well worthy of a slight change. I will feel the need to try and watch the full film today, but here is the little musical number. Slight Gypsy reference from Bette Midler as well? Ok yes I am a total geek I know! This was always a film that I liked a kid and didn’t find it too scary. A total guilty pleasure now 🙂
