Musical Moments – The Sound of Music

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?

Musical Moments – Rocky Horror

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 . . .

Musical Moments – Star Wars

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!

Musical Moments – Moulin Rouge!

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!

Musical Moments – Mary Poppins – Let’s Go Fly A Kite

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!

Musical Moments – Halloween – Hocus Pocus

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 🙂

Musical Moments – Gypsy – Rose’s Turn

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.

Musical Moments – Oklahoma!

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’ ❤

Musical Moments – Oliver!

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!

Musical Moments – The Jazz Singer

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 🙂
