British Broadway
In the West End, there are lots of different kinds of musicals to see. But unlike in the older days, when the shows would be epic and the music beautiful, the style now seems to be more into the overdone, wacky style of musicals. Rather than a beautiful Christine singing “Think of Me”, they’ll get a chorus line of girls singing and a big song line. It’s almost like we’ve gone back 80 years, but with a decidedly edgier side. But anyway, it’s a fun kind of show to see and you’d enjoy it. The British scene was never known to be one of the best in the world in terms of musical theater. There may be some more British shows coming to Broadway in the next few years, since Billy Elliott was able to practically sweep the Tonys this year. It will be fun for the next few years to see what happens next!
