Re: Lord of The Rings on Stage
sweet i.f: I think you missed out big time! I sat next to a group of drama students from South Africa who were being dragged from show to show as part of their trip here, and they thought it was the best one they'd seen!
Luxury Item: I found the movies to be far more in keeping to with the books...
With the stage production, the story is kept intact, although the sheer length of the full trilogy must have been difficult to condense into a 3 hour show...so some parts are ommitted, though to no detriment, in my opinion...
The entertainment factor was excellent, there was a good deal of audience interaction and the cast were word perfect. The choreography was excellent and the music fantastic...they got a full standing ovation at the end...I don't want to say too much more as I don't want to spoil it...but I do highly recommend it...
Confy!! How are you my lovely friend?? Check your PM...I'll send you my contact details...I'm hardly ever on here any more and we must keep in touch :)
Yes, the critics gave it a bashing, but I really think it was unjustified...I definitely think I got my money's worth...
Anyone going to see it, I recommend you get a seat near the front...:)
