Film and Theatre Lover!
I am still totally buzzing over my second visit to see Imelda Staunton in Gypsy so decided that today’s musical moment was going to contain one of my all time favourite musical theatre moments. One of the most emotional performances you will get from a leading lady! Unfortunately there is no footage of Imelda going for it with Rose’s Turn so I have decided to use Rosalind Russell’s from the film version, still a very haunting and vicious performance.

I went to see the latest UK touring production of Oklahoma over the weekend (review will be up soon) so that is why I have decided to post a couple of videos for this week’s Musical Moments.
Ok so it’s Monday so your thinking no it really cannot be a beautiful morning, so I decided to even it out by picking Hugh Jackman’s performance 😉
Also a clip from one of my favourite films ‘When Harry Met Sally’ involving Billy Crystal and a karaoke machine as he sings a little bit of ‘Surrey with a Fringe on Top’ ❤
This just had to be a double of musical moments today, due to the death of Ron Moody RIP. I just had to honour him with two fantastic songs from Oliver!

Having watched part of this film last night it has inspired me to use Hello Again as a musical moment this Monday! I will be going to see Neil Diamond in concert in July and this is the song I am most looking forward to hearing him sing. Yes even though my name is Caroline and the legendary Sweet Caroline. But Hello Again is an incredible song . . . It features in the film twice as well 🙂
I’ve just got home from the Theatre to see Spamalot and feeling inspired by that (review in progress) . . . I decided that a musical moment for this Monday, which will hopefully make you smile is from one of my all time favourite films ‘As Good As It Gets’ when the legend that is Jack Nicholson gives his version of ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ ❤
If I ever hear this song on the radio I always think about this part of Sister Act. It certainly is one of those songs that makes me think about a film scene.
Who doesn’t want to be rescued on a Monday?
After seeing ‘Into the Woods‘ on Friday it has many different engaging songs and moments. So I had to do this post about ‘Agony’ what a mixed up scene and somehow very sexy as the two Prince’s are splashing about in the water. Are Disney really linked in with this film?
Considering I have watched this film quite a few times in the past week, yes really! I forgot how much I loved it from when I went to see it at the cinema. You can check my review out here. So I have decided on the ‘How long will I love you’ version from that film for this weeks musical moments. I really do think its such a fantastic version of the song!
Yes I have only gone for another Richard Gere one, but you cannot fault this one either. The 80s really did have some fantastic endings to films with the music thrown in!
Probably one of the funniest “fight” scenes in romantic comedy films. This really is just a brilliant scene with “It’s Raining Men” playing as Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver fight over Bridget!
