BBC Proms 2010 - Sondheim at 80 - Our Time from Merrily We Roll Along

[corsairstw]

Yeah.. This is a great song, but not a great performance.

Mmmmm...the acting here's a bit awkward. And I'm not crazy about the singer playing Frank's slightly metalic voice...

[georgevickers86]

The leads in our recent performance of this were far better (this was on stage in a community centre, not the BBC proms)

[SondheimFanatic1]

Oh dear. I'm not a fan. 

[MrBarsty]

I was pretty glad when shockwave crashed during that guys opening solo, not gonna lie

[CHRISNOON3]

This performance is not good. The guy who opens the number struggles to hit the notes, his tone isn't pleasant to listen to; his vowel sounds especially 'meeEEEEE' ARGH! The girl is drama school annoying and the other guy passable, but forgettable. Let's hope they are not the future of musicals in the West End.

First thought: Sondheim for the next generation -- how great is that? But on second thought: so many white-skinned people on the stage -- why??

[MrAlltheworldsastage]

@andy20912 Because white skinned people at the prodomenent race in the UK - duh, so the student performers reflect that?

@MrAlltheworldsastage

Not a very PC point of view....in fact UK drama and music colleges try very hard to be multi-ethnic.

That damn chime!
