Three weeks tomorrow I fly out to Chicago, I am going over to do the marathon! I cannot wait as the film from 2002 and the stage show are part of my favourite films and stage musicals.

Musical Moments – Les Mis (One Day More)
I am going to see Les Miserables for the second time at the Theatre tonight having seen it in the West End a few years back. I am really looking forward to it as the UK Tour is the new production and will be starting in the West End later this year after the theatre has been refurbished.
One Day More is one of the most incredible songs so I thought for todays musical moment it would be the version from the 10th anniversary concert show!
Fosse/Verdon (2019) Review

Poster: Cats (2019)
As well as the trailer a lovely teaser poster has also been released!
Trailer: Cats (2019)
The musical Cats was one of the longest running of all time in the West End and has countless tours over the years, as well as being on Broadway. I’ve seen the show three times over the years and do enjoy it, with the impressive dancing and memorable songs.
A film version was always going to be a little strange in a different way really as making people look and act like Cats isn’t exactly normal. I know the initial reactions to this trailer haven’t been good but I am actually rather impressed with the way they have done it. Plus we get Jennifer Hudson singing Memory and that is going to be amazing!

Musical Moments – The Greatest Show
Still totally loving the memories of seeing Hugh Jackman in Manchester the other week I thought today’s musical moment should come from The Greatest Showman and be The Greatest Show!
