I just saw the American tour in Denver last week, and have to say that I was blown away by it. All of the main characters were amazing, the singing brilliant and beautiful, and in some ways I felt the production was better than the amazing 10th Anniversary London show. The spine chills and tear duct production during many of the songs were abundant. I have seen recordings of this 25th Anniversay production, and the one I saw is much better imho.
@michaelgran100 I saw the one in Omaha last feb. and I agree I've seen all of the london ones and some american ones but that .. American tour.. they were amazing and I thought the sets were more thought out .. like idk.. better than some of the other ones. Like on this one in Omaha it was actually like a house.. instead of a clutter looking bunch of wood
@SunnysmalltownGirl (I haven't seen the London ones live lol just the ones on youtube! I've never been to London though I was supposed to tour all over europe with a lot of fellow Band players from my area of the state. Didn't though because I like showing cattle better.. and Dad got me a car instead...

I fail to understand why people want it the same or as equally as good as the 10th. Every show that is performed wants to be unique and have its own stamp. This really does do it justice. How boring would it be if the 25th was a carbon copy of the 10th? the 10th is fantastic there is no doubt about it. Even the music is a different sound compared to the 10th. so its all about is being individual!
it's funny that people are comparing the actresses of 10th vs 25th... since it is the same actress. i would agree she did a better job in the 10th anniversary though
stop hating!! the Thenadiers are supposed to sound sort of throaty and look like crooks he did a great job, he had fun and portrayed the role perfectly
I looked this song up intentially because I loved the "Master of the House" he made this the best song in the entire thing with the overactting. It was perfect
I disagree with most of these posts. I thought this was fantastic. It was lively and fun. I can see why people would want to stay at this guy's inn, even if he is a bit of a crook.
Love the way he walks in XD His attitude on stage is just amazing!

Master of the house, isn't worth my spit.
Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong shit.
Cunning little brain, regular Voltaire.
Thinks he's quite a lover, but there's not much there.
What a cruel trick of nature landed me with such a louse!
God knows how I've lasted living with this bastard in the house!
Best part.
